The management of the guaranteed social income (Resoga) was once again at the center of the political debate this Wednesday, after the Councilor for Families, Social Welfare and Dependency Care, Sandra Fernández, confirmed that practically 100% of the applications processed in Ibiza and Formentera between 2023 and 2025 were resolved outside the maximum period of three months.
Fernandez appeared at the Social Affairs Committee of the Parliament to answer questions from the PSIB, and detailed that, in 2024, the delay reached 100% of the applications in both Pitiusas, a situation that is repeated in all semesters of 2025. In the whole of the Islands the percentage reached 99.1% in the second half of 2023.
6,000 blocked files and criticism of the previous administration
The councilor described a “chaotic and deficient” panorama inherited from the previous Government, with more than 6,000 suspended files, without review or notification, which, she said, caused “a very important blockage” and “great legal insecurity”.
He assured that the benefit “should be managed practically perfectly”, given that it affects particularly vulnerable families, and announced that the Executive is replacing the responsible declarations with telematic checks to speed up processing.
PSIB replies: “Many people have been left behind”.
Socialist deputy Omar Lamin lamented that the data reflect that “those who need the Resoga have been left behind” and defended that the previous Govern “left no one behind”. He countered that statement with the fact that “you leave behind 100% of applicants”, in reference to the generalized delays.
He also criticized the elimination of the responsible declaration, accusing the councilor of acting quickly “to control” and not to facilitate access to the service.
Waiting lists for dependency: 279 people in Ibiza and 26 in Formentera
In addition to the Resoga, the councilor reported on the waiting lists for the assessment of dependency, an area that directly affects the Pitiusas.
According to the data presented, in the cumulative 2024 there were:
-
268 people on the waiting list in Ibiza
-
29 people in Formentera
In 2025, with April data, the figure stood at:
-
279 people in Ibiza
-
26 in Formentera
Fernandez assured that the shock plan implemented has already reduced waiting lists by almost 12%, while Lamin questioned its effectiveness and recalled that it is the third plan announced by the Government in this area.
