“On the border the minimum wage has increased almost three times what the minimum wage was in 2018,” he noted in the morning of this Thursday that takes place in this capital.
He also said he was “very happy” about two pieces of information: that the peso yesterday reached a record low of 16.89 per dollar and today it woke up at 16.91, although he added: “I don’t like that little jump it’s making, but anyway it’s low.” ”; In addition, inflation continues to decline, with 4.40 in February.
When referring to the increase in salaries, he stated that when he came to government, in 2018, the minimum income was just over 88 pesos a day, and for this year it reached almost 249 pesos in the country, and 375 in the border cities.
“These corrupt neoliberals, oligarchs, technocrats had us deceived, that if the salary increased, inflation increased, and for the same reason, they did not increase the salary and impoverished the people. Mexico had 36 years without wage increases; 75 percent of the purchasing power of wages was lost throughout the neoliberal period. And the lie they used was that if the salary increased, inflation would increase.”
That argument, the head of the Executive stressed, is “sophistry, lies… let’s not be fooled anymore.”
The peso has strengthened against the dollar, he added, just as inflation has fallen.
