  "account": "Yolanda Díaz, Minister of Labour, plans to raise the minimum interprofessional salary (SMI) before the general elections. The increase, which is expected to be around 5%, would be the last one under her ministry. This move contrasts with the government's decision to postpone the pension increase until after the elections. The proposed rise would be lower than the 7% increase suggested by CC OO and UGT, while the employers' association expresses its discontent with a potential hike from the current 1,221 euros gross in 14 payments.",
  "summary": "Los sindicatos piden un incremento del 7% y la patronal critica las implicaciones políticas que tendría la medida, que el Gobierno adoptará cuando tenga el informe de los expertos",
