The economic elite is fixed at the minimum wage.
- For the European economic elite, the Interprofessional Minimum Wage has always been an obstacle to job creation under the conditions they would like. The last arrow was launched by the Bank of Spain: raising the minimum wage barrier can harm job creation. But is that true?
EUR 1,047. This is the barrier that the Government of Spain wishes to place on the Interprofessional Minimum Wage (SMI) for the year 2023, which currently amounts to 950 euros.

But the message from the Bank of Spain is clear: Don't come back up! And we know what that high financial institution is eating, whether it's private banking or big business. Call it pressure, threat, or blackmail if you want. What should we expect from government envoys? The trade unions and parties that have been given shelter should at least sow the wind so that the promise to raise the SMI gradually.

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.
