Criticism of social policy
The NSI data on the average salary for the second quarter of 2026 sparked a sharp reaction from "We Continue the Change". The party claims that if the previous formula for calculating the minimum wage had not been repealed by the interim majority, it would have reached 690.44 euros in 2027.
"We have heard enough excuses as to why the 2026 budget freezes incomes while providing billions for capital expenditures," the formation stated.
