• Candidature: Churches wants to abolish the salary cap of three minimum wages for the positions of Podemos
  • Complaint: Podemos charges devised tricks to inflate their salaries
  • Crisis. The lawyer of Podemos: "I have been fired to cover their bonuses in black"

Irene Montero left on Monday to pass criticism to Podemos after Pablo Iglesias has proposed to eliminate the salary limit for his public office. A cap set at the sum of three minimum wages and that became a saint and a sign of formation during its emergence and its first years of life in contrast to traditional political parties.

Now that you want to increase, to charge more, the reproaches have rained. Even of former leaders of the purple formation, such as Ramón Espinar . "That the representatives must live as those represented is not an argument of removals. They are principles. What deterioration. What a pity," he lamented.

Against this, Montero replied that the proposal was "to ensure that all charges" of training "continue to donate" a percentage of his salary. "The hallmark of Podemos is that the salaries that are collected are wages that can be understood to be not privileged. The proposal is aimed at keeping those signs and that all charges donate even though the SMI will go up to 60% of the minimum wage as the European social charter says. "

In line with the proposed controversy, some videos of the newspaper library have come to light. In one of them, Iglesias was categorical about this issue when asked about it by a viewer on a La Sexta program . "Never believe the promises of any politician, he may say it from the heart but then circumstances make him change," he said.

His argument continues: "The fundamentals are guarantees. When we say that no public office can charge more than three interprofessional minimum wages we are setting limits. We are trying to establish guarantees, because nobody is safe from becoming something else. The fundamental thing is that people have control so that every time someone lies and does not fulfill what they said they can get out of there. Do not believe in promises, do not believe only in what they say. Believe in guarantees. "

On the other hand, and also in the context of the Podemos congress, Iglesias introduced his team to form the new leadership. Among the habitual ones, the continuity of Isabel Serra , the return of Jaume Asens or the presence of two former Errejonistas such as Ángela Rodríguez or Aitzole Araneta stand out .
