The Triple Strategy to Close the Economic Gap in Spain

The growing disparity between European living costs and Spanish purchasing power demands a coordinated and immediate intervention that addresses multiple dimensions simultaneously. This multidimensional approach represents the only realistic way to achieve tangible improvements without altering the shared monetary foundations 🎯.

Reactivation of Citizens' Purchasing Power

Wage recovery constitutes the fundamental pillar, requiring an update to the minimum wage that accurately reflects accumulated inflation and the implementation of automatic review mechanisms in collective bargaining agreements. In parallel, specific fiscal stimuli are proposed for organizations that increase their workforce or distribute dividends among workers.

Implementation Mechanisms:
  • Progressive adjustment of the interprofessional minimum wage according to real CPI
  • Tax bonuses for companies that increase payroll mass
  • Labor stabilization programs to reduce youth temporality
Productivity is not debated in talk shows; it is built in workplaces with appropriate technology and training

Stabilization of Basic Costs and Structural Modernization

Price containment in strategic sectors through temporary limitation of commercial margins must be complemented with transitory tax reductions. Simultaneously, digital and ecological transformation is accelerated through targeted public investment, while regulatory bodies monitor market practices.

Complementary Actions:
  • Active supervision of margins in energy and food
  • Incentives for business digitalization and energy transition
  • Reinforcement of CNMC's supervisory capabilities

Coordination as a Determining Factor

The success of this triple strategy critically depends on effective synchronization between administrations, the business sector, and social representatives. Transparent communication avoids expectational distortions while advancing toward a more resilient and equitable economic model 💪.
