The PSD leader also spoke to reporters in Ansiao, Leiria district, before the PSD National Council, the highest body between congresses, which discusses the “Territories of low density / high potential areas” report and analyzes the political situation.
For Pedro Passos Coelho, updates the national minimum wage should not be linked “with other aspects that however righteous” they may seem at first sight, “are completely unrealistic and jeopardize employment growth and sustainable enterprises, without which there will not be any wages that may be provided to the economy. ”
Noting that currently there are conditions that were not “in the last three years to make a review of the national minimum wage,” the head of the Government reiterated that this review needs to be done “in order not to jeopardize the sustainability of companies and therefore not generate unemployment for the future. ”
According to Pedro Passos Coelho, “companies must bet a lot, especially in improving their productivity by incorporating more innovation, looking to marry quickly what are the scientific and technological innovations with what are their processes so that they can assert If competitively, not by very low labor costs, but through the quality of its products and its services. ”
