The Social Security System is protected by a “Garantía Institucional”. Problem is sufficiency of the benefits provied by the System in offering a whorthy life to protected people. It is necesary improve incomes of the System. The reforms carried out from 1985, especially in 2012, make more difficult to reach a pension whithout test of means. A re-organization of Social Security is coming up according to recomendatios of European Comission but not according to the Spanish Constitution.
