The general director of Imserso, María Teresa Sancho, admitted to being “worried” about the possibility that the Government does not present some general state budgets by 2025, because “we have diverse projects that will have to stay there if there is no renewal.”

Sancho made these valuations in a meeting in Servimedia together with the Director General of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumption and Agenda 2030, Jesús Martín Blanco, with whom he spoke on the draft to reform the General Law of Disability and that of Personal Autonomy and attention to the agency.

This “is a general concern on the part of all departments,” he acknowledged, “and ours, of ours, because it reverses the well -being of people who have concrete needs.” “We are worried about not having budgets for 2025,” he insisted, despite the fact that the accounts extended, in their opinion, are “quite generous or, at least, not as restrictive as others.”

Instead, Sancho considered that the reform of disability and dependency laws would not be specially affected by this absence, since “it would begin to be applied in 2026”.

On the other hand, Martín Blanco agreed that the already in force “are expansive budgets”, and “that gives us a lot of maneuvering margin when continuing to channel social spending.” However, he invited “not to focus only on the economic part of this law.”

“The State has powers in the general regulation of the system of personal autonomy and attention to dependency and on the rights of people with disabilities,” but social services are managed by the Autonomous Communities, he explained.

“What we are doing is a model change,” he continued, that also has to do with decisions about “where we put the money” now available.

In his opinion, “many times we insist and observe that the normative changes must have a budget and, although it is in general,” in this case “all administrations have to make this transit.” In the field of autonomies, this has to do with “where the resources are put” with which they do, he concluded.
