SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, March 6 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Sí Podemos Canarias Parliamentary Group has presented an amendment to the proposal to reform the Regulation promoted by the Chamber to suppress the right to receive compensation for dismissed deputies.
Specifically, it is requested to delete section 4 of article 17 bis of the original proposal in which it is ensured that “the members of the Chamber who are not elected for the next legislature will have the right to receive, as severance pay, a single compensation equivalent to one month’s salary”.
Sí Podemos Canarias insists that parliamentary activity “cannot be the object of privileges” and must be a “focus of empathy towards the citizenry”, for which reason it considers it necessary to delete the paragraph that creates layoffs and render ineffective “said provision of a budgetary”.
For Sí Podemos Canarias, what is desirable for all the country’s legislative chambers would be for deputies to contribute to Social Security like any other citizen and, at the end of each legislature, to be able to exercise their right to receive the pertinent benefits to which they can access any other worker or worker who does not have privileges.
In addition, another of the six modifications presented by Sí Podemos Canarias tweaks the proposal to reform the Regulation so that the person who is a lawyer general secretary can be dismissed, or ratified, each time the Board of each legislature is constituted.
