The Council of Ministers will approve the increase in the SMI on Tuesday

To ratify this announcement, the socialist leader has chosen Ourense, where he has participated in a political event with about 1,200 attendees – according to the organization – in which he has supported the socialist candidate for the Presidency of the Board, José Ramón Gómez Besteiro.

It is his first foray into Galician territory in the campaign, although he has visited the community several times in recent weeks. He arrived by AVE to the capital of As Burgas and returned, from the same Orense station to Madrid also by train. Before leaving, he had coffee with the candidate for the PSdeG to preside over the regional Executive.

In his speech, Sánchez took advantage of the announcement of the increase in the minimum wage to make a demand for the “useful” policy and the “temperance” of his Government in the face of the “noise, the din, the sterile cry and the debauchery” of the opposition.

At the same time, He has promised to do “great things” in what is left to exhaust the legislature, “1,260 days” which, he has predicted, will be “very short” for the socialists but will be an “extraordinarily long” period for the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijoo, and his counterpart in VOX, Santiago Abascal, both also in Galicia this Saturday.

In a speech in an economic key, the socialist leader has also used irony to emphasize that the right “has the same thing with the economy as with electoral failures, that they do not know how to manage it.”

And he has vindicated the social democratic policy that combines economic growth with “redistributing” this growth” with the argument that his Government makes many neoliberal dogmas fall “like dominoes” that led to an “austericidal response” to the crisis by demonstrating that It is compatible to raise the minimum wage with the economy “growing.”
