These two measures were presented by PS leader Mariana Vieira da Silva, who coordinated the sharing of the socialists' electoral program.
"In the new trajectory of the national minimum wage, we propose that it should evolve in a predictable and sustained phased manner to at least 900 euros in 2026", declared Mariana Vieira da Silva, also Minister of State and Presidency, before talking about measures for companies .
“We also want to include in the proposal that we will create a medium-term agreement on the creation of an adequate fiscal framework for companies”, she said.
In the PS document, it reads that a socialist government “will promote the necessary negotiations in terms of social agreement for a medium-term Agreement (2022/2026) to improve income, wages and competitiveness”.
In addition to the issue of working towards a work life balance, the socialist leader argued that wages, on average, have been growing since 2016, although Portugal has a lower share of wages in GDP at this level if the comparison is made based on a European Union average.
“Over the next four years, we have to go further and we have to move faster. We now want to grow by 20% by 2026, so that four years from now the weight of wages and national wealth will be identical to the average for the European Union”, said António Costa.

Why not make it €9,000 per month or even €90,000 per month? People who think you can just raise the minimum wage regardless have no grasp of basic economics. The cost of the wage hike will feed through to consumers, particularly in high labour cost industries like leisure, tourism, restaurants and hotels. This will negatively impact people who live on fixed incomes, such as retirees. If you don't think you're paid enough, it's up to you to train for a new career or get a promotion in your existing job to take your salary higher. Government decree cannot make someone's labour worth what it's not.

So Billy what should the do to the population that lives below social minimum. Portugal has a big group of people that work(sometimes even 2 jobs) but is not able to put a meal on the table with the payment the recieve. The problem here is that the money you need to live is different in different parts of the country. But the payment are not. Europe made an calculation that the minimum in Portugal needs to go to 1350 euro. Yes price will go up with the increase of the minimum payment, but not that mutch as you think. And there will be people losing there job but lots of jobs will also be created on longer turn with the increase.

to Billy...you should become a politician.
The gap between Rich and Poor is growing exponentially, and you are trying to justify it.
This country needs a shake up

More money? for what? you want more money? Have you considered working 60 -70 hours a week? Finish high school maybe or even learn a trade? I retired at 49 years old. For 30 years I worked 60 to 90 ours per week; far away from home, in the cold and on every continent. What I noticed here is that people complain about working 30 hours a week. I also see that work performance as poor and extremely slow. Your boss needs to make a profit to be able to pay you. So if takes 3 workers here to do a job that for example is done by one worker in France or Canada, why should we give you a penny more?
