• 10-N. The leader of Podemos Aragón asks new primary churches to change Echenique as a candidate

Pablo Echenique, secretary of Action of Government of Podemos, says that the ethical code of the purple formation "does not invalidate him" to be a candidate of United We can by Zaragoza, despite the ruling of the Superior Court of Justice of Aragon (TSJA) that ratifies that of the Social Court that ordered him to pay the State Treasury a fine of more than 11,000 euros for having his personal assistant without a contract or discharged .

Echenique was on Friday night in the Aragonese capital to participate in a pre-election act and was asked about the ruling and the ethical code of Podemos. In response, he simply said that "anyone who reads it" sees that "it does not invalidate him" to head the list to Congress for Zaragoza in the November 10 elections, as published by Saturday 'Heraldo de Aragón'.

Article 11.e of the ethical code of Podemos includes "the commitment to resign from public office, to the internal office or to any candidacy in case of being prosecuted or convicted for the offenses or crimes that will be determined in the regulations that will be published for this purpose. the Rights and Guarantees Commission, and which in any case will always include corruption, economic crimes, sexual harassment, sexist violence, child abuse and child abuse, as well as crimes against the rights of workers, ecological and urban planning. "

Echenique reiterated that he will appeal in cassation to the Supreme Court the judicial decision because "it is an unjust sentence that opens the door to punish thousands of families with dependents who are in the same situation."

Labor relationship

The magistrates of the Social Chamber of the TSJA dismissed the appeal presented by Echenique against the sentence handed down by the magistrate of the Social Court No. 2 of Zaragoza that declared in its resolution "the existence of a special employment relationship between the employer Pablo Enrique Echenique Robba and the worker Eduardo PS ".

In the opinion of the magistrates, it is an employment relationship because "there is no rule that excludes such workers from the workplace. This benefit can be made by a specialized company, which would exclude the employment contract between the dependent and the caregiver But if a person is hired to perform said home help service, and the caregiver carries out a dependent, foreign, voluntary and paid service provision, it will be an employment contract and the discharge must be completed. "

They add that "the framing in the Special System of Household Employees simplifies the formal obligations of the employer, which must not write payrolls, or make the delegated payment of the temporary disability benefit", and conclude that on the basis of the facts cited " this Chamber concludes the existence of an employment relationship between the parties , without finding reasons to revoke the judgment under appeal, so that the appeal filed must be dismissed, confirming the judgment of instance. "

The process began after the lawsuit filed by the General Treasury of the Social Security against Echenique for not registering or contributing for the worker Eduardo PS in the General Social Security Scheme within the Special System Household Employees during the period between on March 16, 2015 to April 30, 2016.

Against the ruling issued by the Social Chamber of the TSJA, an appeal can be filed before the Social Chamber of the Supreme Court.
