In the private sector, Tapia has once again called for a lowering of wages for workers as a measure to curb employment, which was neither the first nor, probably, the last. In view of the announcements of closure and relocation of companies, he also said that workers will have to choose between lowering their wages or changing their workplace.

We have never heard the advisor calling for a reduction in the shareholders’ dividends or the billionaire payrolls of the presidents and managers of the large companies that are few in Euskal Herria. He is the best specialist in the Basque Government, sending messages against the workers and in favour of Confesbask, in order to favour the Capital.

Now, with a coalition government between the PNV and the PSE-EE, the vicelehendakari and the Labor Advisor are from the Socialist Party. We should ask Idoia Mendia whether he agrees with the Chantajist language used by his fellow government. If this is not the case, it will have to demonstrate this through day-to-day actions, carrying out other social and economic measures. For example, if you want to set up a dialogue table with the social partners, you will have to assume, first of all, that the government of Iñigo Urkullu will put aside gestures and public policies at the service of Confesbask.

Idoia Mendia, do you agree with the blackmail of your government colleague Arantxa Tapia?
