The problem was identified at the Office of the Prime Minister, with which the Ombudsman has been in constant coordination, in the current state of emergency.
It was announced today that the Council of Ministers approved “the decree-law that creates an exceptional and temporary regime of justified absences motivated by assistance to the family, reinforcing the measures already taken, to improve their adaptation to reality, and starting to take care of situations in which there is a need for assistance to a relative in the straight ascending line who is in charge of the worker and who frequents social facilities whose activity is suspended ”.
