Actividades de interés general consideradas de interés social

16:39 Oct 23, 2023 

Thanks for your feedback (and your patience!). I said I would be posting some more reference material. So here we go. What follows is the definition of "fines sociales" in Spain:
https://www.bankinter.com/blog/finanzas-personales/renta-cas...
Renta 2022: ¿En qué consiste la casilla de la iglesia y la de fines sociales?
(…)
¿Qué es la asignación de cantidades a fines de interés social?
Para este año el Estado destinará a subvencionar actividades de interés social el 0,7% de la cuota íntegra del IRPF correspondiente a los contribuyentes que manifiesten expresamente su voluntad en tal sentido.
Se entiende por actividades de interés general consideradas de interés social las siguientes:
• La atención a las personas con necesidades de atención integral sociosanitaria.
• La atención a las personas con necesidades educativas o de inserción laboral.
• El fomento de la seguridad ciudadana y prevención de la delincuencia.
• La protección del medio ambiente.
• La cooperación al desarrollo.

I would not say all these items are in line with the (broad) definition of "Welfare State", but some of them definitely are. I believe Adrian´s suggestion is appropriate.

Hello, shall we close the query with the contribution of the colleague Adrian MM.? Or is there any other possibility? Thank you too, @AllegroTrans, I think your entries are very pertinent.

can be a false friend

Yes, I would say that part of the text is somewhat related to the Agencia Tributaria in the same way you have stated earlier. I think this "Promoción de la Participación de la Población Gitana" is one of those "fines de interés social", since here the text is related to an NGO (Fundación Secretariado Gitano).

Toni, there is no such thing as an "official translation" into English, in Spain, except in the context of EU/international admin. etc. This is quite simply because English is not an official language of Spain. The translations you refer to were in all probability done by non-native speakers of English.

Could you please confirm if your text is related in any way to tax returns to the Spanish Agencia Tributaria?

21:26 Oct 19, 2023 

The colleagues AllegroTrans and Adrian MM. have expressed their misgivings against the too literal (and meaningless) translation of "social" and "social interest" in this context, and I must say that I have to rectify and remove the expression "nonsense" I had posted previously, because what they have said is not such nonsense, but something justified.
@Ángel, I shall try to finish my intervention tomorrow. I need to finish my inquiry and confirm some points still unclear to me. This will take some time. But meanwhile I wish to apologize to Adrian MM. because my qualification of "nonsense" of what he had written is on no account such thing. He may be well right in his approach to the query.

Official version of the Spanish Agencia Tributaria
This is the Spanish official rendering of "interés social" available on the web site of the Agencia Tributaria, where the expression "fines de interés social" is translated as "social purposes". This site is available in Spanish and English, and also in the other official languages in Spain:

frequently amounts to a false friend, especially when used as a single word. Spain (and other continental jurisdictions) use the word in a far broader context than in British English. Beware!

Thanks for your feedback. Please don't close the query yet. I still do have something to add, but I can't do it right now (I'm replying from my mobile). Thanks for your patience.

14:07 Oct 19, 2023 

Thank you, Toni. I think your option is the one which fits best, at least in my text. How can I close the discussion with that answer?

13:55 Oct 19, 2023 

Full sentence: «Estas actividades se organizan en el marco del Programa estatal para la Promoción de la Participación de la Población Gitana, financiadas por los Programas estatales de Actividades de Interés general consideradas de interés social, correspondientes a la Secretaría de Estado de Derechos Sociales».

but what does this actually mean?

19:54 Oct 18, 2023 

I certainly understand what you hint at, and I agree with you, fully. I shall try to correct the nonsense posted below, I cannot do it now

19:50 Oct 18, 2023 

Please post your discussion entry (which it isn't) as an answer (which it is) otherwise less approrpiate answers might get into the glossary.
