Changes in the management of the Passive Classes regime: ¿an attack on the public employee of special staff regimes?

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to analyze the changes in the management of the passive class regime approved during 2020 within the emergency legislation ratified during the state of alarm. The transfer of management to the National Social Security Institute raises three questions: firstly; whether the change is technically appropriate; secondly; why a measure that affects the management of civil servants’ pensions has been approved in a royal decree-law of measures to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19; and thirdly; that this change of management may entail for the specialties contained in this special regime.
