Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez told the Lower House of Parliament that the current government prioritises serving the social majority. He cited the latest Labour Force Survey, noting more than half a million jobs created last year and a temporary employment rate below the European average, as evidence of a labour reform approved with social partners and a parliamentary majority. Sánchez highlighted measures aimed at pensioners—raising pensions in line with inflation and expanding the pension reserve fund to €25 billion by 2027—and a historic cut in energy prices amid the Iran war, benefiting industry, the self‑employed and SMEs. He recalled that the government’s priorities, set eight years ago, include growth, job creation, redistribution to the working middle class and resilience in digital and energy transformation. Sánchez acknowledged reduced inequality but noted the housing crisis remains a serious issue, and urged continued dialogue, thanking parliamentary groups and social partners for their constructive positions.
