Gustavo Petro described the reduction of the workweek to five days in Brazil as a triumph of progressivism. He argued that the debate on reducing working hours and the time needed to retire should focus on who receives the benefits of increased productivity: companies or their workers. Petro stated that productivity was the result of knowledge accumulated by society and, therefore, a common good. He also questioned whether artificial intelligence should be privately owned and said that a minority group was appropriating human knowledge through information from networks and databases. In his view, increases in productivity should translate into shorter working hours and earlier retirements, so that people have more paid free time. #Progresismo #TrabajoJusto #InteligenciaArtificial (translated)

In this regard, Cuerpo pointed out that there is "a second closure mechanism," which is compliance with the fiscal rules with Europe, ensuring the sustainability of all public administrations. #pensiones #sostenibilidad #reforma (translated)

Sarah Santaolalla stated that asking for a ballot was the only thing that had been proposed and criticized that, in her opinion, for a deputy who earns 5,000 euros a month, fascism arriving was convenient. She warned that many people could suffer cuts to their pensions, salary reductions, increases in rent, and difficulties affording decent food, as well as losing rights. Santaolalla reproached those who, as she wrote, were focused on ego disputes and positions and electoral calculations, instead of responding to the living conditions of the people. She described that attitude as irresponsible and disrespectful to the voters, stating that those who could afford to fail would not necessarily be the ones having to choose between paying rent, filling the fridge, or making it to the end of the month. #Política #Derechos #JusticiaSocial (translated)
