The Argilan Exclusion Platform - ESK has denounced that the Minimum Income for Life (RMV) approved by the Spanish Government will in no case succeed in overcoming poverty. Not many citizens who meet the access requirements will be able to perceive it: Children under 21 years of age, without papers and who are not recognized for this income for "infinite and complex conditions". "Income will not reach people who are in extreme poverty," they said.

EUR 462 per month to live "is not enough against poverty"

The Minimum Income for Life (RMAG) will be 462 euros for a person living alone in Spain. "The EUR 462 will not get anyone out of misery, nor out of precarious life. With 462 euros a month they reassure the conscience of the bad rulers and so they tell themselves that the people, at least, will not starve to death."

Sowing prejudice: Strengthening the link between poverty and crime

The platform against Social Exclusion Argilan-ESK considers that the Minimum Income of Life (RMV) approved by the Spanish Government "strengthens the link between poverty and criminality". In fact, it will bring with it a lot of control measures: "These measures seem to give the impression that the poor are enjoying the scam, unlike those great men who practise tax evasion and who give masks and respirators," he added.
