The Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migrations, José Luis Escrivá, has presented a second proposal to unblock the ERTE negotiation in which he

raises the exemptions of more than 80% of Social Security contributions to the sectors he considers most punished

.

Negotiation sources assure EL MUNDO that Escrivá has made a move by expanding the list of sectors, including, for example, nightlife, and including

clauses so that companies related to the most damaged industries also benefit

.

Hotels, travel agencies and airlines are clear beneficiaries of this measure, but, according to the sources consulted, also for example an industrial dry cleaner whose billing clearly depended on a hotel.

Escrivá also raises

a clause of outbreaks so that industries in other sectors that are paralyzed

by resurgence of the pandemic would also benefit from the higher exoneration.

Currently, these range between 25% and 35%

According to the negotiators, Escrivá maintains that he cannot offer a total or general exoneration to companies, due to the high cost it entails for the Social Security coffers.

The President of the Government,

Pedro Sánchez

, has provided the figure of 4,000 million a month, but the president of CEOE,

Antonio Garamendi

, puts it in question and considers that it is inflated to restrict aid to companies in this new phase of the pandemic.

In the CEOE and UGT employers' association they are against discrimination in the new ERTEs and see the risk that affected sectors will not benefit from the selection of the Ministry of Escrivá.

"We are not going to leave any company behind," says Garamendi.

Employer sources give an example that land transport is not protected like air.

The negotiation on the new ERTE is blocked, despite the fact that the current ones expire at the end of the month and a strange alignment is taking place in which the employer considers the Minister of Labor,

Yolanda Díaz

,

more allied to their positions

, than the head of Social Security.

CEOE is also demanding that Escrivá detail the true costs and the Ministry of Social Security.
