MADRID, 14 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Minister of Social Rights and the 2030 Agenda, Ione Belarra, has highlighted on her Twitter account the role of Podemos in the development of the mechanism to limit the price of gas for electricity generation and the inclusion of sick leave due to painful menstruation in the draft of the abortion law, the “most ambitious measures within the coalition government”.
Belarra has also remarked that the measures are in the “courageous direction” expected from the Executive and the one that “will mobilize the democratic bloc”.
“We can promote the most ambitious measures within the coalition government, from the gas cap to menstrual discharge. That brave direction is what people expect of us and the one that will mobilize the democratic bloc. Yes, it can.”, she remarked Belarra in the tweet published this Saturday.
The publication by the Minister of Social Rights comes exactly on the day that the Official State Gazette (BOE) has published the Royal Decree-Law establishing the mechanism to limit the price of gas for electricity generation to a average of 48.8 euros per megawatt/hour (MWh) over 12 months.
Once this measure enters into force and at the expense of the European Commission formally adopting support for the standard, it would mean an immediate improvement for 37% of domestic consumers and for 70% of industrial consumers.
For its part, the inclusion of sick leave due to painful menstruation in the draft of the abortion law is expected to be approved in the Council of Ministers next Tuesday, according to government sources told Europa Press. It will be a temporary disability assumed by Social Security from the first day, so it will not entail any cost for companies.
