Feijóo's slip about the minimum wage and the IRPF stirs the campaign

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the PP, mistakenly claimed that the minimum wage contributes to IRPF during an interview, prompting backlash from the government. He later clarified his stance, asserting that any increase in the minimum wage would always be exempt from IRPF under a PP government. The government emphasized that minimum wage earners do not pay IRPF, highlighting a misunderstanding on Feijóo's part. The PSOE and Minister Yolanda Díaz criticized him for his comments. Feijóo expressed a commitment to negotiate minimum wage increases with unions and employers, while the Ministry of Labor is preparing a potential 5% increase in the minimum wage ahead of upcoming elections.
