The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, met this Monday with two young preceptors of the Minimum Interprofessional Wage at their home in Parla, where they discussed their “projects and concerns”.
This has been stated by the head of the Executive in a message on his Twitter account, picked up by Europa Press, accompanied by a video in which he appears with the young people, talking and drinking coffee at home.
Mari Carmen and Óscar are two young people who collect the SMI. Today I had a coffee with them at their house and we talked about their projects and concerns.
Thinking of them and so many people who need it, we will approve the rise of the SMI to 1,080 euros tomorrow. It is a fair decision. pic.twitter.com/ZiG5qlT9o7

“Mari Carmen and Óscar are two young people who collect the SMI. Today I had a coffee with them at their house and We have talked about your projects and concerns“, has pointed out Sánchez, who recalls that this Tuesday the Government will approve the rise of the SMI to 1080 euros “Thinking of them and so many people who need it.”
In the video, Sánchez and the two boys talk about their jobs and their Labor conditions and point out that the salary increase “is noticeable” and that now they have an indefinite contract “sooner”. Sánchez announced this new rise in the SMI on January 31 in a debate in the Senate with the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo.

Next, Sánchez has published another video in which he explains that he has just met with these two workers who collect the SMI, who together with “two million workers” they will benefit from the increase to which the Council of Ministers will give the green light tomorrow.
In addition, he has stressed that when he came to the Government the SMI was at 735 euros per month and that the commitment was made to situate it, at the end of the legislature, at 60% of the average salary in Spain. “That is the objective that we are going to meet tomorrow. That is why I think it is essential to vindicate the economic and labor policy that the Government of labor and salary dignity is deploying,” he finished.
