It should be remembered that the Chamber of Deputies and Deputies rejected the idea of legislating the bill to readjust the minimum wage of the Government, which increased the figure by $ 1,500 pesos, going from $ 320,500 to $ 322,000, which was equivalent to a nominal 0.4% rise to a real 0%.
For this reason, the Government presented an insistence in the Senate, where the initiative required 2/3 of the votes of the parliamentarians present to be approved and continue its course, again in the Chamber.

In today’s vote in the Senate, the vote against was by Alejandro Guiller and the abstention was the responsibility of Alejandro Navarro.
The Minister of Finance, Ignacio Briones, said in the room that the Government “is open to looking for an intermediate station, rather than a readjustment that lasts a year, which allows us to evaluate in a longer time what the reality of the country is in terms of the economic situation and especially in terms of employment. I think it is very sensible to stop there to look and based on that experience, that reality, to be able to make a decision. “
Briones appealed to fix a minimum wage that lasts only until March, for in April “to propose a readjustment for one year depending on the reality of the country and thus unpin it from the political cycle that we well know can generate more than one conflict in different areas.”
In turn, the independent senator Carlos Bianchi expressed, also during the debate, that “a discussion has to do with the minimum wage, but on the other hand I hope that the Government will urgently implement the pension reform and somehow give it some kind of compensation to those who have the minimum wage ”.
