It took a lot of effort to achieve some basic rights, and now neoliberalism is destroying everything: the education system, health care... By giving money to each citizen you are transferring responsibility from the State to the people, so that they can manage as best they can. It makes no sense to give the same thing to everyone, what we need is a complete and integrated welfare system.

Source URL was updated from the old _0_137186590.html slug to the current _1_5691389.html (same eldiario.es article, "La izquierda se divide ante la idea de una renta básica"). The eldiario.es domain blocks WebFetch with HTTP 403, so I cannot directly confirm the quote against the page. That said, indirect evidence is strong: a web search returned a snippet that directly matches the quote's closing sentence ("it doesn't make sense to give everyone the same thing; what we need is a complete and integrated welfare system"), and the position expressed (opposition to UBI in favor of strengthening an integrated welfare state, framed as a response to neoliberal attacks) aligns with María Pazos Morán's well-documented stance as a feminist economist at the Instituto de Estudios Fiscales. The vote direction ("against" Implement a universal basic income) correctly matches the content of the quote. Year (2016) is older than 2025-2026 but I could not locate a more recent equivalent statement from her specifically on UBI to replace it. Marking ai_unverifiable per guidelines because the source URL is not directly accessible to me.
