A comparison made reality
In March of this year, the Government chaired by the president of the PP, Marga Prohensasked the government to Pedro Sanchez to assimilate the insularity bonus to the Canary Islands until it reaches 633 euros, and not the 100 euros currently received by civil servants and workers assigned to the Balearic Islands.
All this after learning that more than 600 teachers who have passed the past exams will have to change islands and leave Mallorca to continue practicing their profession, and the damage that this will cause them given the considerable expenses they will have to make. to the high cost of living on islands like Menorca or Ibiza.
For the Regional Executive, it is necessary and fair to assimilate our teaching staff to that of the rest of Spainavoiding injustices due to the issue of insularity.
Assuming the insularity bonus of teachers from the Balearic Islands to that of teachers from the Canary Islands would therefore be in accordance with the principles of equity and recognition of the geographical and socio-economic particularities of the Spanish island regions.
