SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Feb. 12 (EUROPE PRESS) –
The CC-PNC spokeswoman in the Congress of Deputies, Ana Oramas, will question the Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, José Luis Escrivá, next week for the “disastrous management” of the Minimum Vital Income (IMV).
According to the nationalist party, the Canarian deputy will ask this coming Wednesday about the measures that the Government will take to correct the failure of the IMV management that has not reached hundreds of thousands of people who met the requirements.
According to data from the ministry itself, until last November 2021, 102,239 files were processed in the Canary Islands to access the Minimum Vital Income, according to official government data, of which more than 76,000 were denied; existing, as of December of last year, a total of only 38,657 benefited including adults and minors; a figure that in no way responds to the reality of thousands of Canarian families.
In this regard, Oramas recalled that the Arope report indicates that there are more than 811,000 Canarians at risk of poverty and exclusion, which represents 36.2% of the population.
Of the total, 373,600 people are in extreme poverty, surviving on less than 535 euros per month if they live alone, or 280 euros in the case of a family with two adults and two minors, adding that the COVID sent 130,000 more individuals to the Islands to extreme poverty.
