Óscar Puente: “Es mentira que las pensiones estén en crisis y, si gobernamos, veo el salario mínimo cerca de los 2.000 euros”
El ministro de Transportes achaca la crisis de la vivienda a “un fallo del mercado por culpa de la codicia, por lo que hay que intervenir”
In a lengthy speech at an event organized by Nueva Economía Forum in Madrid, Transport Minister Óscar Puente addressed political, economic, and strategic messages, all of which occurred a week after Argentine President Javier Milei used the same platform to insult his Spanish counterpart, Pedro Sánchez. This comes less than two months before the general elections on November 29.
Puente asserted, "We have everything to lose in the upcoming elections as a country. We have been told that the principle of the social contract, such as pensions, will be altered, but it is a lie that pensions are in crisis. This has been said since the 1980s and no pensioner has stopped receiving their benefits. What is at stake is a business, just like education or water. Democracy is also at stake," Puente emphasized.
