The president of the CEOE, Antonio Garamendi, participated this Thursday in a meeting with other businessmen at the headquarters of the employers’ association with the coordinators of the electoral program of the PP for the next meeting in May, the former minister Íñigo de la Serna and Carmen Fúnez. He did it while the High Level Meeting (RAN) between Spain and Morocco is being held in Rabat, which he ultimately did not attend despite the fact that he had planned his own intervention in the business forum, the first major act of the summit . In Moncloa they counted on him going until Monday.
In his place was the number two of the employers, Miguel Garrido. According to ‘Europa Press’ they were “personal reasons& rdquor; those who prevented Garamendi from attending the neighboring country, but has continued its agenda with the first opposition party.
De la Serna and Fúnez are holding different meetings with civil society and organizations from many sectors to nurture the electoral program of the conservatives. There have also been contacts with the unions and they hope to have a meeting soon.
Precisely, the absence of Garamendi in the Rabat business forum that Sánchez closed was confirmed just one day after the President of the Government announced in the Senate a rise in the Minimum Interprofessional Salary (SMI) of 8%, up to 1,080 euros per month for the current year, 2023, after having closed an agreement with the UGT and CCOO.
