The second vice president and Minister of Labor and Economy of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, has assured that the 37.5-hour work week will be implemented “before the end of next year”, despite the opposition of the employers.
In an interview published this Sunday by El Correo and collected by Europa Press, the leader of Sumar has criticized that the CEOE is taking into account “other types of reasons that have nothing to do with the defense of companies” and has reproached its president, Antonio Garamendi, for having a look “more at politics and at a specific party that is not even the Popular Party.” “Because I know that the PP is sensitive to this measure,” he stated.
Despite this, he has acknowledged having “a magnificent relationship” with Garamendi and the CEOE as a whole, but has insisted that there are positions in which they disagree. In this sense, Díaz has criticized that Garamendi has been making statements that he believes are “inappropriate” for some time.
“Me I would like to see Mr. Garamendi who saved companies, who saved lives, who saved workers, who understood what was happening, who said that a ‘rider’ is not an entrepreneur,” he declared.
Minimum wage
The vice president has also spoken about the new minimum wage for 2025. He has announced that the commission of experts will be established before December and that they will be the ones who determine what the percentage of review increase will be. In this sense, he has indicated that Spain is a country “that has very moderate salaries” and that the salary improvement is a measure “of economic efficiency.”
On the other hand, regarding the PP’s blockade of the appointment of the current third vice president and minister for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, Teresa Ribera, as European commissioner, has said that the popular ones, “whenever they have to choose between Spain and their party, they choose their party. “And this is very serious. “The message they are giving is a breakdown of the institutionality of Europeans,” has warned.
Asked about the ‘Errejón case’, Díaz insisted that she had no knowledge of the alleged sexual assaults committed by Sumar’s former spokesperson when appointing him to the position. “I am a very tough and very strict woman. And I believe, furthermore, that no one knew the circumstances we were talking about,” he stated.
