The president of the CEOE is suing the government, and more specifically Yolanda Díaz, for being in a “permanent electoral key”.
More than four months after the government’s president, Pedro Sánchez, announced that the government would promote a major income pact, the executive – represented by eight ministers, commanded by the first vice president, Nadia Calviño – and social agents come back today to raise a controversial and complex issue. The vision to come to an agreement is little, let alone in this first meeting.
In addition, the president of the CEOE, Antonio Garamendi, this Wednesday filed charges against the government, and more specifically the second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, accusing him of acting in a “permanent electoral key”. In fact, he denounced that he has not been called up to talk about an income agreement, which he has heard about in the press, but about European funds.
And he made it clear that in a hypothetical income pact, the most important thing you have is pensions. “It’s essential to talk about pensions,” said Garamendi, pointing out that each increase represents an additional cost of 1,700 million and, if benefits are revalued by the CPI, the additional cost for 2023 could reach 17,700 million. “We all want retirees to get paid, wages to rise, but we don’t want the system to break down,” he warned.
The business executive also asked the government to clarify what will happen to civil servants’ salaries, as it is not yet known what the increase will be for the more than 2.5 million civil servants. “When we talk about an income agreement, we need to know what to do,” he said.
The CEOE president, for his part, emphasized that what “really” concerns companies, “is the most important business in the country, which is the state, and what worries us is the efficiency of the state.”
