The anger in Government of the PSOE and Sumar for the declarations of the Minister of Social security and Migrations, Elma Saiz, in which she proposes a plan so that cancer patients can work “voluntarily” during their treatment. More specifically, the Minister of Labor, Yolanda Diazshowed in the social network (formerly Twitter) its total disagreement with this measure that its partner wants to launch. Galician politics has assured that “we do not play with health”.
“There is only one reason behind temporary incapacity: protect the health of workers. There are no more options or reasons. Neither flexibility nor partiality, we do not play with health,” assured Díaz in a job.
Thus, the founder of Add and second vice president of the Executive of Sánchez responded to the PSOE member and Minister of Social Security, causing a quarrel within the government.
The reason for the government’s anger
The reason for this division within the Executive was Saiz’s statements in which he assured that the Executive had made “social dialogue, we must put on the table a modification, a reform of temporary incapacity for s also adapt to this situation. the times in which we live and to medical progress, to technological progress. It is therefore something imminent“.
The politician explained that her intention was to relax the regulations in this sense, as was done in the pension reformwhere compatibility between work and retirement has been authorized.
The socialist commented that previous regulations were “very abrupt” about the choice between being a worker or retirementsuggesting that the new framework should better adapt to the different personal and professional situations of citizens.
The idea, explained the minister, is to modify the regulations to make them more flexible, as was done with the work and retirement compatibility in the last retirement agreement, because on this aspect the regulations in force “were very abrupt” and “either you were a worker or you were retired”.
“We have made this transit more flexible, based on volunteering. The same goes for temporary incapacity,” said the minister, who indicated that with current IT regulations, “or are you sick or are you sick“.
On the other hand, the socialist declared that this reform could also introduce greater flexibility for the return to volunteering in the IT processes of multi-activity employees: “There are people who can be on sick leave for an activity, however, for the other, they can carry out certain works,” he stressed.
These statements were not well received by the other side of the government. Left-wing voters also expressed their discontent on social networks, and Yolanda Díaz came to defend her position unlike the leader of Social Security.
