The day that the government had marked in red to get breaststroke from a new climb from the minimum interprofessional salary and to confront its economic model with the right ended up becoming a boumeric. The announcement of the Ministry of Finance with which he formalized that, from now on, the SMI receptors would pay the income tax, not only caused a real pitched battle between the PSOE and Yolanda Díaz in the Press Room of La Moncloa after the council of ministers, but the unanimous rejection of the executive members. And with the support of the PP, which also bets on raising the minimum exempt, those parliamentary allies of Pedro Sánchez threaten to throw a pulse in Congress.
Add, Podemos and the popular have already announced the registration of two law propositions to return the exemption to the beneficiaries of the SMI if the Treasury does not rectify, something that in the Moncloa discards flat despite the almost unanimous positioning of partners. “It is a burial that this is done to the people who charge so little, it is good that the SMI is uploaded, but it is not good that it is punished that way,” ERC spokesman reacted in the halls of Congress, Gabriel Ruffian.
In very similar terms, EH Bildu, another of the executive’s left allies, has manifested. “EH Bildu does not share the position of the government and the PSOE to tax people who charge the SMI. First, because it is a direct cut on the increase in the amount of the SMI. Second, because it is not a measure that is consistent with the principles of progressivity, since this progressivity must begin with the highest income, not because of the lowest. In addition, it will especially affect single and mostly young people, one of the sectors that suffer most precariousness and inequality, ”they argue.
From the PNV, although they avoid explicit criticism to the Treasury they also open the door to amend the step taken on Tuesday in the Congress of Deputies. “I understand the position of the Treasury, but I also understand that you have to try to help those people in worse situation. The debate is not over yet and the political discussion in the media and in the Chamber will continue, ”said Aitor Esteban.
In the PP, meanwhile, they do not hide on Tuesday their satisfaction at the open crack in the coalition government. “We are going with Yolanda,” Ironized in the halls of Congress a prominent member of the National Directorate of the party leading Alberto Núñez Feijóo after the angry press conference after the Council of Ministers.
The popular have risen to the car with two law propositions in Congress and the Senate also with the declared intention of exempting workers who charge the SMI of the IRPF payment. Before knowing the decision of the Ministry of Finance to force for the first time to pay the perceptors of the minimum wage, Feijóo requested the exemption in an intervention before the deputies and senators of his party.
“This government wants to make a box at the expense of those who charge the minimum wage staying with half of the climb,” he said. “I reiterate my request now that the Council of Ministers is being held that the IRPF of the new minimum wage is adjusted and that the amounts of the minimum wage do not tax in the income tax of the natural persons so that the main winner is not the Government, ”he added.
