Underline how, to the european institutions, the member countries always send career diplomats, so the appointment of planas, a politician, has caused deep surprise, in addition to the usual discomfort in foreign affairs due to the usual nature of the appointment. Of politicians in relevant positions , to the detriment of the ministry's civil servants. It happens that the position of permanent representative to the european union is, according to foreign sources telling this confidential, one of the most “diplomatic” positions that exist. And it is, above all, due to the technical and legal complexity of the issues to be dealt with, above all, which affects the integration of the national and community legal systems. Likewise, the fact that it is an eminently diplomatic destination means that a political ambassador causes surprise in meetings with ambassadors and diplomats from other countries, making their relationship somewhat difficult. The technical and legal complexity of planas' new position also implies the need for very secure criteria when choosing groups of advisors for the different areas of his diplomatic action.
It should be remembered that planas' previous experience in brussels – mep and chief of staff – was also more political than diplomatic . In foreign affairs he has drawn attention that, at a time when spain is not fighting for power quotas, a politician is sent. On the Special Database other hand, planas, in brussels, will necessarily have a much more active role than in rabat, where the ministerial orders insisted above all on appeasement with the regime of mohamed vi . In fact, planas, who has earned the trust of moratinos, did not even speak with the minister very frequently, although, in recent times, relations have been more tense due to incidents such as the one with the overflight of a spanish helicopter above a yacht on the moroccan mediterranean coast, on which the alawite king was resting. Whatever the case, planas will now have to deal almost daily with the minister .The dependency law, approved in parliament with the consensus of the socialist group and the popular group, was going to mean the entry of spain into the countries of the world with a higher degree of development of the welfare state in its assistance aspect.
In accordance with the will of the legislator, the dependency law was based on a definition of a dependent person according to which “dependent” is someone who does not enjoy full autonomy or, in other words, is not capable of taking care of themselves entirely for the care of your daily life. From here, the legislator established three degrees of dependency – grade I, moderate dependency; grade ii, severe dependence; degree iii, great dependency -, with its corresponding subsections, all cases in which the state would help both with direct economic aid and with social advantages - notably, social security contributions - and, likewise, with the establishment of a care network advanced day centers, gerontological residences and public services of various kinds. In principle, the financing of the law would be distributed as follows: 50% of the expenditure would be borne by the central administration, and the other 50% would be borne by the regional administrations . The aforementioned establishment of a care network fulfilled the other purpose of the law: apart from helping dependent people, a large number of jobs were going to be generated in a cutting-edge sector such as healthcare. Likewise, the law, in accordance with its application calendar , would first address cases of great dependency, then those of severe dependency and, finally, starting in january, the cases - most problematic when it comes to their scale - of moderate dependence.
