Yolanda Díaz's Labour Ministry has sharply criticised Carlos Cuerpo's Economy Ministry for allegedly trying to block the hourly registration decree, following the State Council's unfavourable opinion. Labour sources say they will proceed with minor changes and count on Pedro Sánchez's support for approval. Cuerpo backs the goal but calls for balanced implementation for SMEs.
Vice President Yolanda Díaz, Spain's Labour Minister, stated in Congress on Wednesday that reinforced time registration will be implemented 'even if it's the last thing I do', despite an unfavourable opinion from the Council of State. She accused the Economy Ministry of siding with employers. The measure is part of the 2023 coalition agreement and stems from an EU court ruling.

The advisory body criticizes the underestimated economic impact, lack of sector-specific adaptations, and data protection issues. Labor Minister Yolanda Díaz's department defends the measure as essential for law compliance.
