I'm spaniard, and havent read anything alike on the Spanish news. What they want is to roll at some point some budget for affected bussiness but thats all... but isnt any different of what other EU countries are doing at the moment. My suspect is that Spain relies heavily on turism, which is affected in the short term and probably in the long term, so people will have to find another source of income otherwise they wont be able to sustain their families. Probably there will be some bugdet for that sector, but everything is just speculative atm.

They refer to the Economy Minister Nadia Calvino. https://www.lasexta.com/programas/el-objetivo/noticias/nadia-calvino-vamos-a-implementar-lo-antes-posible-el-ingreso-minimo-vital_202004055e8a498a237979000147f3f7.html https://www.lasexta.com/programas/el-objetivo/noticias/nadia...

>I'm spaniard, and havent read anything alike on the Spanish news. The article has a link to this Spanish article (and an embedded video), I'm curious, does it contradict the statements of the Forbes article? https://www.lasexta.com/programas/el-objetivo/noticias/nadia-calvino-vamos-a-implementar-lo-antes-posible-el-ingreso-minimo-vital_202004055e8a498a237979000147f3f7.html https://www.lasexta.com/programas/el-objetivo/noticias/nadia...

  Not really, but imagine that one senator in the US says they like to support UBI, there is still a lot of work that has to go through to actually make it work and has to have support behind it. General consensus in Spain is that this proposal don't have enough support to actually go through, but the world media is reporting like it's already been passed and will for sure happen. It hasn't.

  TLDR Version: Yes. It is basically a UBI. But they also don't have a firm date for a rollout. My speculation: For one, it's really just talk until something happens. Also, I'm thinking if not for the eye-opening shock that is coronavirus, a lot of things would not be happening that are probably going to happen now. No one can really say with authority what the world will look like when this is over.
