Yolanda Díaz, after the jam in the negotiation of the ERTE: "I can issue a decree, but the plus is to reach an agreement"

The Government and the social agents finalize an agreement to extend the ERTE until September, but "with a long eye", so that it could extend them further in the event that a re-emergence of the coronavirus made it necessary.

In an interview in Telecinco, the Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, explained that, although the social agents demanded to extend the ERTE until December 31, the term of three months that is handled "is not discussed" , because they have the certainty and peace of mind that "if they need it, the Government will accompany them".

"We have a long look and we extend it until the end of the year," said the minister, "because, hopefully nothing will happen and everything will be fine, but the government is in advance for any reaction that we had to take immediately."

The negotiations, which continue after yesterday's meeting in which they agreed to give themselves until Wednesday, "are close" to ending an agreement, said the minister, who has asked employers and unions "to re-commit to Spain "to save companies and jobs.

"I can issue a royal decree -with the extension of the ERTE- giving peace of mind to companies and workers. The plus is reaching an agreement," the minister has made clear.

The minister has indicated that "there are sectors that are having a very bad time", so they seek to make "an orderly transition", with a proposal that is "sensible, adapted to reality", for which she has trusted that "the agreement makes its way ", despite the fact that" some ask for a little more, in defense of their legitimate interests ".
