  "account": "ATA, a Spanish organization representing self-employed workers, has denounced the precarious financial situation of its members, with 63% earning less than the minimum wage. Despite a 36% increase in social security contributions, the organization claims that the government's economic and labor policies have been detrimental to self-employed workers. Lorenzo Amor, president of ATA, criticized the government's inaction and highlighted the administrative burden on self-employed workers, who spend an estimated 200 hours per year on paperwork, resulting in a cost of €10.3 billion. The organization also pointed out that many self-employed workers earn less than their own employees, and that the system often denies them benefits, such as the cessation of activity allowance.",
  "summary": "The organization denounces that 63% of the group perceives income below the minimum wage, while contributions have risen by 36% and the loss of employer professionals worsens.",
