Yolanda Díaz aims to raise the minimum wage before upcoming elections
Yolanda Díaz plans to increase the national minimum wage before the next general election, according to ministry sources.
Sources from the Ministry of Labour say Díaz’s team will try to enact a higher minimum wage before the election period. The ministry has begun the procedural steps, including convening an expert advisory commission this Thursday. The move targets workers who rely on the minimum wage amid persistent inflation.
Why it matters
Raising the minimum wage could affect millions of low-income workers and influence voter sentiment before the election.
