In the opinion of lehendakari Imanol Pradales, "there are conditions" for the establishment of an Interprofessional Minimum Wage in the ACV, which would be "higher" than that of the state, but "agreed between the social partners."

At the press conference following the first Governing Council of the new political course, Pradales, asked about this issue, recalled that last July his Government presented at the Social Dialogue Bureau a "serious, detailed and rigorous" analysis of its vision of a Basque SMI.



"We believe that in the Basque Country there are conditions for the application of an SMI of an agreement greater than that of the State, provided that the social partners agree," he added.

In the President's view, "it is in this attitude that we must continue to work, removing obstacles, because there is resistance on the part of the social partners, and it is clear to us that these issues require time and work."

In any case, it has argued that the Basque Government, and in particular the Department of Economy, Labour and Employment, 'has this issue on its agenda' because it is' important ', along with other issues which' have already been advanced ', such as the' pay gap, the impact of European funds, and others which will be important for the socio-economic debate in the Basque Country '.
