  "account": "Alberto Núñez Feijóo discussed the minimum wage during an interview on Cadena SER. He claimed that the government benefited from increasing the minimum wage, as it led to higher tax revenues. Feijóo stated that when workers receive a higher salary, they often exceed their previous IRPF tax bracket and pay more. The interviewer, Aimar Bretos, noted that the minimum wage is exempt from IRPF, but Feijóo countered that this exemption was previously in place and had been a point of contention in parliament.",
  "summary": "The PP leader accuses the Government of \"making a good deal\" with the collection of the minimum wage, while the Executive reminds him that it does not contribute to IRPF. The popular candidate then commits to exempting it from taxation",
