The Government condemns labor abuses
In recent days, worrying situations of abuse of workers of Peruvian origin in Catalonia have been revealed. These people have been brought into the country using certain permits, and the Government has expressed its opposition to these practices. The Government’s spokesman, Guillem Casal, stated forcefully: “If they are confirmed, they are deplorable.”
Actions to investigate and take action
The Government is taking measures to address this situation. Inquiries are being carried out from different areas, such as the police, the Immigration department and the Labor department. It is important to note that these inquiries are being carried out even without having received formal complaints. The goal is to find out what’s going on and take the necessary steps firmly.
Collaboration with the Peruvian authorities
The Government has also established contact with the Peruvian authorities to address this issue. A note verbale has been sent to the Peruvian diplomatic services to find out what employment contracts exist with these people. This collaboration is essential to clarify the situation and take the appropriate measures.
Commitment to put an end to these practices
The Government is committed to putting an end to these abusive practices. The omnibus bill already foresees ending the system of displaced workers and rethinking the contractual model to avoid these situations. This shows that the Government is taking concrete actions to address this problem. It is important to note that the figure that allows these practices will be prohibited.
Legislative progress and current situation
Despite the continuous complaints, it is not planned to advance the legislative change in the presentation of the law for sustainable growth and the right to housing. Nevertheless, the Government recognizes the importance of acting quickly and ensuring that these situations do not occur. It is important to highlight that the current legislation already offers mechanisms to avoid these irregularities, but the Government is willing to go further to address undesirable situations. Sanctions have been imposed and will continue to be imposed in cases of workplace abuse.
