Protest of mutualists in Madrid demanding full recognition of their years of contributions.

Hundreds of professionals demonstrated this Saturday in central Madrid to demand a complete and fair transition to the Special Regime for Self-Employed Workers (RETA), calling for full recognition of years contributed under mutualist systems.

The protest, called by the #J2 Movement, brought together lawyers, solicitors, architects, engineers, and other professionals who demand that each year contributed to the mutualist system be considered a full year under the public Social Security regime.
The march started from the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security, and Migration, on José Abascal street, and concluded before the Congress of Deputies, traversing the capital's center to highlight their demands.
Participants displayed a banner with the slogan '1x1 Transition for all. Government, fulfill your promise' and chanted slogans like 'Year paid, year contributed,' pressuring for the bill currently in parliamentary processing to incorporate their fundamental requests.
The Madrid Bar Association (ICAM) exceptionally provided robes to its members so they could participate in the mobilization, thereby enhancing the protest's visibility.
The #J2 Movement criticizes that the current proposal 'does not satisfactorily resolve' the situation for thousands of professionals and contains elements they describe as 'partial, insufficient, and discriminatory'.
Mutualists denounce the lack of real progress and accuse the Government and the PSOE of maintaining an unyielding stance, rejecting modifications that could correct substantial inequalities in the regulatory text.

"The May 23rd mobilization is not intended as a symbolic gesture, but as a call to the Government and parliamentary groups to correct the text and ensure a fair, complete solution without leaving any mutualist behind."
