Congress debated an illegal proposal this Tuesday. the possibility of approving a standard This causes wages to rise in exceptional contexts of inflation, such as current inflation where prices are above 10% for months.
Before we continue, one nuance: A vote in Congress on an illegal proposal won’t work. These are not legal, but political initiatives. Approval Government does not undertake. Red condemns the proposal to emptiness and oblivion. An example from early April this year: the plenary of the Chamber strongly endorsed an illegal proposal against a change of attitude in Western Sahara; The next day, Pedro Sánchez was in Rabat to celebrate the change of position VI. He met with Mohammed.
However, discussions of extralegal propositions have their own transcendence. Groups, in fact, depicting the ultimate contradictions and thus gathers arguments for future discussion. When the ERC recorded a PNL (short for Illegal Recommendations in parliamentary jargon) on the possibility of raising wages by law so that the inflationary boom wouldn’t overwhelm the working classes too much, it knew success was a distant option. He did not expect the plenary to approve it. yes i was looking to portray United We Can and PSOE. The usual parliamentary allies, but the ideological battle between the three is not over.
And the battle took place in Congress this Tuesday, in a semi-circle more empty than anything else. But that didn’t turn it off heat of contention (dialectical).

Deputy Joan Baldovi He knows how to get congressional debates closer to the street. This Tuesday, he began his one-and-a-half-minute speech on the platform of the Chamber’s chamber: “We talk about inflation and we talk about wages consumed by inflation, so I start by accepting a neighborhood shop. In Benimaclet (a district of Valencia), 29 euros’ or ‘Ultramarinos Javi’ directed by Maite and Javi, who make baskets of 28 items. Solidarity acts like this reconcile me with humanity and make me proud as a citizen”.
For days, the lords wrestled with prices, how their relentless rise pierced the pockets, and what to do so that people with less were not so affected. They got caught up in the food basket hypothesis with limited prices, started a week ago by Yolanda Díaz, and the highlights and undertones have been changing ever since. Solutions too, of course.
Beyond the proposal to cut taxes carried out by the PSOE and the PP and the Government and autonomous communities (PSOE and PP), what political groups were discussing this Tuesday revolved around an interesting option: passing a law that compels it. so wages increase resist purchasing power from the workers of the country. It is already known what happens when people lose income: they consume less or do not consume, and then the health of companies weakens.
The ERC brought up the discussion with an illegal proposal that it asked the Government to do three things: 1. A law re-evaluating salaries from 1 January 2023. who earns less SMI (€1,000) “equivalent to the annual change in the CPI of the autonomous community” as a percentage. 2. Include in the draft new Budget a fund to cover the increases in the budget. public employee payroll, also according to the annual change of the regional CPI. AND 3. Increase IPREM (the reference index for income distribution of benefits) concerns the most disadvantaged social sectors.
A note: At the time of the proposal’s announcement, Esquerra at hemicycle stated that its intention is to increase the salaries of all salaries, public employees and private field by law.
Forms
Jordi Salvador, the same MP who on Monday dampened Yolanda Díaz’s enthusiasm for the growth of uncertain contracts, took up the defense of the initiative, as they too grew in the part-time and fixed-discontinuous modality. He didn’t save by force. It’s been fierce. “This proposal is a cry of warning,” he declared, before urging the political class to respond to poverty. It is known that on the same Tuesday, the prices of the so-called basic supermarket basket (food, hygiene, basically) were experienced. The highest increase in the last 34 years.
As he emphasizes, “if the salary does not move and everything becomes more expensive, the salary is reduced”, so “rapid measures” are already necessary. An increase by law would also be a viable solution that does not require “waiting permission from the CEO”. the savior asked leaving the framework of “social dialogue”. He summed it up like this, the slogan mode: “Less dialogue, more action.”
Esquerra is not alone. EH Bildu supports the proposal. your assistant oskar matu, in addition to advocating ending the “social dialogue mantra”, urged the Government not to be discouraged in seeking measures in favor of the working classes. The shadow of Sunday’s Italian elections plotted his intervention. According to him, the state should intervene in the field of wages as well as in the energy or financial markets.
BNG also supports the illegal proposition. Nestor Rego, his representative in Congress advocated passing a law that increased wages. He stressed that this is better than a revenue deal. Compromis, Baldoví’s formation, will also join the support. He’ll join next Thursday when it’s time to vote. It will have no value as commented here, but the Valencia surrogate at least made it clear that “raising wages is the best help”.
Differences
The parliamentary majority belongs to left-wing parties due to ideological affinity. That is why Pedro Sánchez is the Head of the Government.
However, there is a series of debates in the House that occasionally break the majority bloc. United We Can often has a hard time when ERC and EH Bildu come together. Catalan and Basque pro-independence formations, wage and spoke against the “purples”. Marisa Saavedra, who represents the unification, expressed here that the baton is held by “social dialogue”. The government will do nothing against this framework that brings employers and unions together. As he explains, his formation obviously wants to control prices and raise wages, but not by law.
In a similar line, PSOE. There isn’t a day that socialists don’t have to. swimming between two waters. On the one hand, ideology; the other, pragmatism (“vision of the State”, they sometimes call it). Granada’s deputy, María Inmaculada Oria, successfully made it out of the voyage. She criticized the erc initiative for threatening social dialogue and collective bargaining, and in turn increased the social commitment of the Sánchez Government.
TRUE
Both PSOE and United We Can have proposed a number of changes to change the ERC offer. Esquerra refused. Conclusion: will vote against socialists and “purple”.
Therefore, the illegal offer, The yes of the formations on the left of the government. Frequent allies, but not permanent partners.
As expected, neither PP, nor Vox, nor Cs, nor PDeCAT, nor PNV will join the small party group in favor of a law to raise wages. Do you want them to go up? yes everyone said. It was sung by Tomás Cabezón, Juanjo Aizcorbe, María Muñoz, Genís Boadella and Íñigo Barandiaran, respectively. But nobody wants that to happen by law. Before tax deduction or deflation of the first parts of personal income tax.
On Thursday, when the proposal will be voted on, there will be far more nos than yeses. The proposal will fade into oblivion. But at least Congress had another debate about what affects people. About reality, the harsh reality of the moment. For this reason, Baldoví, “The Grocery Store Javi”.
