  • The clash between the Ministries of Labor and Economy in Spain is worrying.
  • The Ministry of Labor proposes a reduction of the workday and an increase of up to 4.4% in the minimum wage.
  • The Ministry of Economy calls for prudence and a more moderate wage increase of 3.4%, arguing the need for gradualness for companies to adapt.
  • Dialogue between companies and unions is crucial for the advancement of labor legislation.
  • The climate of dialogue can be affected if businesses are not willing to negotiate policies.
  • The political context can influence the dynamics between ministries and in negotiating agreements.
  • Uncertainty and ad hominem arguments add more uncertainty at a time of special global complexity.

Conclusion: In order to maintain Spain's strong economy, it is necessary to lower the tone of political debate and clarify the competencies of each ministry, avoiding harmful clashes.
