An end to the free public transportation mess

The central government achieves the approval of 29 social measures included in the 'omnibus' decree law after reaching an agreement with Junts.

The Government has decided to cut up the royal decree law ‘omnibus’ that rejected the Congress of Deputies last week and has approved this Tuesday a new one with 29 social measures, including transport aid to the autonomous communities, after reaching an agreement with Junts.

With this, the mess unleashed in relation to the free public transport in the Balearic free public transport in the Balearic Islands.. Although the Govern had already assured that public transport would continue to be free, since this measure had been approved for the whole of 2025, the central government has managed to put an end to this mess. Anyway, from the Govern have been pressing since the funds are insufficient to solve this measure. “The current allocation is insufficient, and we need a greater effort from the central government to ensure its sustainability,” said the Minister of Housing, Territory and Mobility, José Luis Mateo. The 43 million granted by the Government in 2023 and 2024 were not enough to cover the total cost of free education, causing a deficit in both courses. For this reason, Mato remarked that the state aid “should be flexible” and cover “effectively the real cost of free education”.

For next week

The Executive has been highlighted by leaving for the coming weeks the approval of an economic package that covers other measures, such as the extension of the aid of the Moves III Plan or the deliveries to accounts to the autonomous communities. The head of the Executive, Pedro Sánchz, has advanced in a press conference from La Moncloa that the new royal decree law approved this Tuesday by the Council of Ministers “contains practically the totality” of the norm that the Congress of Deputies overturned last week. In total, there are 29 measures that include the revaluation of pensions according to the CPI, aid to municipalities affected by the dana, aid to free public transport or aid to those affected by the volcano on the island of La Palma, the prohibition of supply cuts for vulnerable people, the improvement of the social bond or the increase of the Minimum Vital Income (IMV). In addition, this royal decree-law includes an additional measure that was not included in the previous one, which is the creation of a public system of guarantees and guarantees for owners and also for tenants. “We have spoken with all the parliamentary groups so that this royal decree-law can go ahead”, Sánchez has assured.
