“We believe that a minimum wage is crucial for our citizens wellbeing, but not to the point where it destroys businesses and stops investment”
Minimum Wage Reform Act of 2019
Rationale
As in our platform is stated, we defend an equsl redistribution of wealth. Although we are a rich country in terms of marcoeconomics, our GDP per capita is one of the lowest in the world. This results in a very unequal country. An increase in the minimum wage could be a step forward.
