The Court calls for a reform of the bureaucratic system full of gaps and weaknesses. In the Court of the Social Insurance is insufficiently informed of deceased persons. There is too little monitoring by both SVB and the banks to whom the pensions are actually paid.

Earlier this month the government Rajoy was known that there had to be claimed for the second time in a reserve fund to pay the Spanish pensions. The strong aging is one of the causes of the shortfall in pensions. Hundreds of thousands of young Spaniards have emigrated since the beginning of the crisis in 2008. In addition, Spain has one of the lowest birth rates in Europe, with an average of 1.3 children per family.
