“It is so obvious that the economy minister and the transport minister cannot be the same person. He will carry out the role for a very short time, until the Socialist Party loses the election,” Azcón said.
The head of the regional government also assessed the Labor Ministry’s proposal to raise the statutory minimum wage by 5% to 1,286 euros. In this regard, he questioned the approach: “When the minimum wage is getting closer and closer to the average wage in this country, we have a very serious problem with wages.”
For this reason, he said that the People’s Party wants not only the statutory minimum wage to increase, but also the “wages of all workers”. He stressed that “this is achieved through competitiveness, by attracting investment and by generating confidence”, as his government is doing, according to Azcón.
