According to the Second Deputy Lehendakari and Minister of Labor and Employment, the September unemployment data provided to them by the government of Spain is “not bad”.
The forecast for economic growth in the CAV has been revised downwards, confirming an inflation scenario well into 2023, and this could even last until 2024, according to the latest EITB DATA study. The Second Deputy Lehendakari and Minister of Labor and Employment of the Basque Government, Idoia Mendia, believes that “despite the economic uncertainty” “Basque companies have a lot of work” and “need workers”. “With this scenario, I would not want to make a catastrophic speech,” he said in an interview on Euskadi Irratia.
After recalling that August is “always a bad month,” he explained that “looking back a year, the reading is positive.” He has maintained that “the next few months will be difficult”, but “employment is going well for now.” In that sense, he pointed out that the September employment figures put forward by the Spanish government “are not bad”. To prevent citizens from losing purchasing power due to inflation, he considers “agreements between trade unions and employers” essential. “Collective bargaining is the way,” he said.
On the other hand, Mendia has downplayed the statements of the Spanish government’s Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, José Luis Escrivá, about the centralization of taxes. According to the confidential adviser, it is “a personal opinion” that “does not meet the criteria of the Central Board”. “The most important thing,” he added, is that “there is harmonization” in tax matters, both at the state level and at the European level. In that sense, he considers the Andalusian government’s recent decision to abolish the wealth tax “very irresponsible”.
Finally, the Minister of Labor and Employment also referred to the transfers and ruled that the “tensions” between the Basque and Spanish governments are “quite normal” because “everyone is defending their interests”.
