Díaz expressed concern about the “increase in poverty, omission of effective measures (by the government), and accelerated changes in the world of work”. “We want to know what is going to happen, the only thing we receive are announcements and announcements. And, meanwhile, people are still waiting,” Diaz said.
The date will depend on the minister’s availability, but Díaz said he would wait “as quickly as possible” to find out how the government plans to “address” these issues.
Arbeleche and her team were summoned this Wednesday to the Deputies Finance Commission, but the minister did not attend, and the request was met with representatives of the government’s economic team.
