The Minister of Culture and spokesperson for Sumar, Ernest Urtasun, warned this Friday that his party does not agree with “leaving out some things” from the omnibus decree that was rejected on Wednesday in Congress and that included, among other things, the revaluation of pensions by 2025 or aid for public transport or the prohibition of evicting vulnerable people.
