Spain's congressional Labor Commission postponed a key committee vote on pension-system reform legislation from May 20 to May 26, citing the need for government economic reports. The bill would allow professionals in private mutual pension schemes to transfer accumulated contributions to Spain's public Social Security system, addressing concerns about inadequate private pensions averaging 300–400 euros monthly. The measure has faced years of advocacy from affected workers but remains contentious over terms of contribution recognition and whether already-retired pensioners will be included.
