• Salaries The Government wants employers to agree to raise the SMI above 1,000 euros in the middle of the pandemic

The Círculo de Empresarios rejects the increase in the Minimum Interprofessional Salary (SMI) to 1,000 euros that the Government plans, and also does so energetically.

"

We are totally against it,

" said the president of the organization, John de Zulueta, who also explained that the rise to 900 euros was already "a huge increase" that put "many companies" in difficulties.

"Especially in sectors such as textiles and agriculture," Zulueta continued, to later add that the Government "later made the mistake of raising it to 950 euros and we already saw the tractors on the street."

"

There are many countries that work without SMI, for example Italy. It is not necessary

, and uploading it, uploading it and uploading it is damaging many companies," said the president of the Circle when asked about this question during the presentation of the assessment of General State Budgets (PGE) of 2021.

The increase in the SMI to 1,000 euros is included in the Government agreement signed between Pedro Sánchez and Pablo Iglesias, but after the last increase to 950 euros it was a measure that, apparently, had been left parked.

However, in recent days, the Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, has referred to this increase and her intention of, in the coming months, to negotiate it with employers and unions for a possible application in 2021.

Raising taxes: "A manual error"

In the press conference that he gave together with Juan María Nin, who is the president of the Circle's Economy and EU Working Group, Zulueta also referred to the tax increase that the Government is considering in the accounts for next year.

And he has not hesitated to say that it is "a manual error".

"

Not a neighboring country is raising taxes. On the contrary, they are lowering them

", Zulueta has deepened, to also warn that in a situation like the current one, in which "companies are sunk", the Government "is not going to get more collection".
