The clock ran against coalition partners to reach an agreement on the taxation of the minimum interprofessional salary (SMI). And the clock has jumped through the air. Sources of the environment of the second vice president Yolanda Díaz assure that the negotiations have been broken, so today an unpublished image will be promoted: that the government ends up vending a proposal of the government itself. That is, that the Treasury promotes a “budget veto” to the initiative to add so that the minimum wage does not tax.
The positions have remained very remote and immovable weeks, until last Tuesday Pedro Sánchez gave the order to avoid the clash, which already threatens to occur, and forced María Jesús Montero and Yolanda Díaz to sit down to negotiate.
Government sources say that “there is no agreement” and margin were given today, until the deadline for presenting the aforementioned veto, to avoid this collision image. A sensation of division that cannot be dodged and that is also contextualized in full clash for the non -presentation of budgets or military spending. The objective was to achieve a pact between the Treasury and work to add up to its initiative and you should not veto it, but if this consensus does not occur before 6:00 p.m., the Executive will continue with the veto and place “the next few days” to continue negotiating with its partners.
Government sources point out that the veto would not be presented, in any case, before the meeting of the Congress table, to avoid being debated in your meeting today and is already for the meeting of April 8. This would be the definitive deadline to try to resolve the conflict before PP and add their votes to try to reverse the “budget veto” of the government. If this strategy prospered, the Government reserves the constitutional court to impose its criteria.
Yesterday the Second Vice President and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, regretted that there is still no agreement with the Ministry of Finance so that the minimum interprofession “The Government Agreement” and the SMI “reach 60% of the average net salary” is fulfilled, something that in your opinion would not be so in case you pay.
“I hope we reach an agreement before tomorrow -for today.” The efforts intensify, after the Treasury rectified and opened to look for formulas so that 20% of the perceptors of these minimum income that did not have the IRPF became exempt.
The problem now is that, although Montero has changed criteria, this change would be conjunctural, only for this exercise, for this year, while Díaz wants to be extended to the following. In this sense, the Minister of Finance itself has recognized today “differences” and has asked assignments to the Second Vice President and Minister of Labor, under the argument that she has already “moved” offering that compensation to that 20% of perceptors. “I hope to reach an agreement throughout the next few days,” he said.
“We cannot raise to the infinity and permanently the saving of low income, because it would make the collection fall entirely, since we are bringing the minimum wage closer to the most frequent wages,” he said. In the Government it is now prioritized to achieve the agreement within the coalition before making visible that total break at the Congress table, with a clamp between the PP and add to bend the arm to the Treasury. And that would happen to compensate for workers who do not have family charges and would assume “just over 200 million.”
