Díaz calls it "reckless" that CEOE wants to give the entire payroll to the worker and that he pays contributions

Amor answers that more than 3 million self-employed people pay their Social Security contributions every month.

The second vice president of the Government and Minister of Labor and Social Economy, Yolanda Díaz, has described as "imprudent" the suggestion by the president of the CEOE, Antonio Garamendi, that the workers receive their full monthly payroll so that, way, they are the ones who pay their contributions to Social Security.

"It is imprudent for such an important business leader to allow himself to be kidnapped by speeches more typical of Milei or Trump," the head of Labor criticized through a message on her social network X (previously called Twitter).

Garamendi suggested this Tuesday that workers receive their full monthly payroll so that they can submit their contributions to Social Security. "It is the way in which you would really see how much the real cost of salaries is in Spain," he stressed in statements to the press during his attendance at the IV CEOE Trade Meeting.

In this regard, Díaz reminded the president of the CEOE that the Government is moving "in the opposite direction."
