His words on Thursday raised dust.

The Minister of Social Security,

José Luis Escrivá,

assured a few hours of the signing in Moncloa of the agreement on pensions that the generation of the so-called

baby boom

, those born between the mid-1950s and the 1970s, some 11 million Spaniards, would have than to make "an effort" of sustainability that would imply either "a small adjustment" in his pension or "to work something else".

The CEOE wanted to disassociate itself hours after what it considered as some

"unfortunate" words

from the Social Security holder and recalled in a statement that the employers' association does not share that premise nor that adjustment to the

baby boomers

is included in the agreement signed yesterday by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez and the social agents.

The minister, asked about it today, wanted to make it clear that what he said yesterday is not yet defined and has intoned the mea culpa for not knowing how to convey "certainty" about pensions: "I have to admit that yesterday I did not have my best day and I did not convey that certainty about something that is yet to be defined. I was probably misunderstood, they were reflections out loud, "he assured.
