According to the organization, "transparency and sound management of public funds are non-negotiable conditions in a social and democratic state governed by the rule of law." However, EAPN Illes Balears warns that "we cannot allow Resoga beneficiaries to be blamed in a generalized way (when it is the Administration that has neglected its duties, stalling applications without resolution or failing to establish control mechanisms), nor can we allow these cases to serve as an excuse." The organization emphasizes that the benefit "is intended to protect the dignity and rights of the thousands of people who suffer high levels of vulnerability in the Balearic Islands." </p>]]></description>

This was explained by the Minister of Families, Social Welfare, and Dependency Care, Sandra Fernández, during the presentation of the main conclusions of the internal audit on this benefit (initiated in 2023) and an initial review of more than 4,000 files corresponding to the RESOGA 20 management system. The Minister recalled that overpayments totaling 211,000 euros were already detected after a massive data screening and the review of more than 2,300 files in December 2022. Fernández emphasized that "the serious issue is not that the payments were suspended, but that they were not notified," thus highlighting the management practices of the previous administration. She also questioned the use of the self-declaration system, which she considers unsuitable for this benefit due to the responsibility it places on vulnerable groups, many of whom are unfamiliar with how the administration works. According to her, the previous government suspended the aid but then failed to review the files and, therefore, did not know whether it was necessary to reclaim money improperly received by some beneficiaries. </p>]]></description>
