In 2025, the pension in Alicante will be increased

Pensioner counting money

The retirement pensions of Alicante residents will be increased this year in order to address inflation. In 2025, the average annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) will be used to revalue contributory pensions by 2.8%.

As a consequence of an agreement between the government and social partners, Law 20/2021, which was enacted in 2021, pensions are annually amended to maintain their purchasing power in accordance with the increase in prices.

The revaluation will result in an annual increase of approximately 600 euros for individuals with an average retirement pension, according to the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security, and Migration. The average pension in the system will increase by approximately 500 euros per year.

As a result, a pensioner who currently receives a monthly pension of €1,441 (which is equivalent to the average retirement pension in 2024) will receive a monthly pension of €1,481.35 in 2025, which is an annual increase of €564.87.

In 2024, the average pension in Alicante was approximately 1,249 euros, which is the lowest in the Autonomous Community and the country. The disparity is even more pronounced when contrasted with other provinces. The territories of Bizkaia, Álava, Asturias, and Gipuzkoa receive over 1,750 euros, which is a difference of over 400 euros from those of Alicante.

The Alicante residents received an annual salary of 14,988 euros last year, which will increase to 15,407 euros, representing a 419-euro increase.

The increase is nearly 200 euros less than the Spanish average and will result in an additional 35 euros per month in pension contributions. According to January 2025 social security data, the average monthly income for residents of Alicante is 1,280 euros.

In addition to the 720,148 pensions that correspond to the State Pension Scheme, which will also be revalued using the same index, this increase will benefit the approximately 9.3 million individuals who receive 10.3 million contributory pensions in Spain.

The formula utilised to determine the revaluation for the upcoming fiscal year is the one established by Law 21/2021, which was enacted on December 28th. This law also established the guarantee of the purchasing power of pensions and other measures to enhance the financial and social sustainability of the public pension system.

Man faces 17 years for twice raping a woman he met at a nightclub

Alicante Provisional Court

Seventeen years of imprisonment. The Prosecutor’s Office is seeking this sentence for a man who is accused of raping a woman he met at a nightclub in Dénia on two separate occasions on the same night. The trial will be conducted at the Alicante Provincial Court today Monday March 17th.

On the evening of September 2nd, 2022, the defendant and the victim met at the establishment, engaged in conversation, and consumed intoxicating beverages together. The man proposed that the woman accompany him to the toilet to use cocaine at some point during the night. The victim, who was in a state of drowsiness and unaware of reality due to alcohol consumption, concurred.

Despite the woman’s explicit request to cease, the prosecution maintains that the defendant exploited her situation to engage in sexual intercourse with her while in the restroom. The defendant then departed to rejoin his companions, leaving the victim alone in the nightclub. Simultaneously, the defendant extended an offer to accompany the victim to her residence.

The Prosecutor’s Office maintains that he seized her arm and threw her into an underground parking lot, where he sexually assaulted her once more with great force. The woman required psychological treatment and sustained injuries that required 15 days to recover.

The initial hearing of the trial is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. in the Third Section today Monday March 17th. The subsequent hearing will be conducted in the same tribunal on March 18th.

Elche woman held for attempting to murder another with a knife

Elche National Police

A 55-year-old resident of Elche has been incarcerated by the on-call court for an alleged attempted homicide. A woman was assaulted on the neck in her own home by a disguised man who was carrying a sharp object last Friday, March 7th. The incident was reported by CBD HERE https://costablancadaily.com/2025/03/12/woman-assaulted-in-her-elche-home/ earlier this week. The woman contacted the CIMACC 091 coordination room.

The woman was observed to be bleeding profusely upon the approach of the police patrol and specialists in violent crimes. According to the report, she was promptly transported to Elche General Hospital via a SAMU ambulance, as “her life could be in serious danger.”

The sole piece of information that investigators had was that a hooded man had entered the victim’s residence and struck her with a kitchen knife to the throat. The hooded man fled after the attacker began to cry for assistance and a struggle. The perpetrator was promptly identified through the implementation of numerous investigative avenues.

Despite the numerous initial investigative endeavours, none of them initially produced conclusive results. Nevertheless, the victim’s personal circle was not involved in the investigation, and the focus was on a 55-year-old Spanish woman who had allegedly engaged in a conflict with the victim “some time ago,” although the exact date is not specified.


It was determined that the assailant attacked the victim when she was alone after waiting for her husband to leave the house, as a result of the investigation. She pounded on the door and charged at her, causing a severe injury to her neck. “The knife’s blade was discovered at the scene, and as fate would have it, the handle detached from the blade.” This circumstance is believed to have saved her life, according to investigators.
