Díaz asks for the workers' vote to give a "democratic lesson" and warns the PP: The SMI has risen and will continue to do so

He says in Cádiz that he will make SEPI an industrial agency without Treasury oversight: "When industrial policy is made to depend on the Treasury, it is doomed to failure"

CÁDIZ, July 9 (EUROPA PRESS) -

The leader of Sumar, Yolanda Díaz, has demanded the mobilization of the workers' vote to give a "democratic lesson" to the right and has claimed before the PP candidate, Alberto Nújez Feijóo, and former president Mariano Rajoy that the progressive bloc will return to govern and will continue with the path already begun of the increase in the interprofessional minimum wage and the labor reform.

In addition, he has promised to convert the State Company for Industrial Participations (SEPI) into a "modern" industrial agency that cannot depend on the Ministry of Finance, as is the case now, because making it depend on that department condemns it to "failure."

"We have had ministers who have told us that the best industrial policy is one that does not exist (...) Go out and vote on 23J for Sumar that we are going to generate industry", he indicated during a rally in Cádiz together with the candidates in the constituency Esther Gil, Raúl Ruiz and Leticia García.

During her speech, the second vice president also demanded the reinstatement of the workers fired from a subcontractor (Mecamansol) of Navantia Cádiz, with whom she has met and expressed her solidarity.

He has also demanded that the workers mobilize on 23J to give a "democratic lesson" to the right, highlighting, as he has been doing since the campaign began, that the vote for Sumar is worth "double" because "he wins rights" and "guarantees the Government of coalition".

Then, she has alluded to the act that Feijóo and Rajoy have had in Pontevedra to claim that it has been she who has raised the minimum wage and has reformed the labor framework left by the former president, measures that will continue along with other new ones, such as the reduction of the working day and raise the SMI. "We are going to continue changing people's lives," she stressed.

This morning in a previous act in Seville Díaz had stressed that the presence of Sumar in the coalition is a guarantee of applying measures and made the attitude of the PSOE ugly as the delay in applying the first increase in the minimum wage.

"It is true that it has been very difficult for us to get things done in the Government, it has taken us nine months to raise the minimum interprofessional wage and it was not the employer who was preventing it, they were our partner," he said. A phrase that he has used to criticize the progressive Executive, charges such as the PP Vice-Secretary for Organization, Miguel Tellado, who has launched in networks that "Spain does not deserve a government where its members spend all their time attacking each other" and that it is necessary to " repeal sanchismo".

On the other hand, Díaz has highlighted that he has managed to reduce the unemployment rate but "much remains to be done", aware that it is a problem in the province of Cádiz and that his program, with determined measures for reindustrialization, will bring "future". for the region.

Likewise, he has indicated that one of the measures is to reconvert SEPI into a modern industrialization agency that has more resources and does not depend on the Treasury and create thousands of quality jobs. "When industrial policy is made to depend on the Treasury, it is doomed to failure", he has shelled to highlight another difference with his coalition partner in economic matters, as he has been emphasizing since the campaign.
