The Constitutional Court has overturned Royal Decree Law 15/2020 on labor and tax measures by which, among other aspects, the Government took the opportunity to integrate the regime of passive classes to Social Security, in which career civil servants of the Administration, military or high political positions are included.

Thus, it unilaterally modified the management of civil servants' benefits and pensions, "without prior parliamentary debate and without having consulted the majority union organizations in this group."
This situation had generated some tension among the workers of public sector. "In fact, the fear of the civil servants to see their pension rights curtailed had caused a wave of early retirements," they point out from the union.
Between June and December 2020 there were 10,387 retirements volunteers at 60 years of age, 26.2 percent more than in the same period of 2010, as recognized by the Government itself in a parliamentary response to the PP
