The Second Vice President of the Government and Minister of Labour and Social Economy, Yolanda Díaz, and her Mexican counterpart, the Secretary of Labour and Social Welfare, Luisa María Alcalde Luján, have signed a memorandum of understanding to increase collaboration and technical assistance in labor matters.
Díaz made a working trip to the Mexican capital last Thursday, where she also met with Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard and Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum. During their meeting, Díaz and Mayor Luján addressed the new realities of the labor market and signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation and Technical Assistance, whose objective is collaboration in socio-labor matters between the two countries.
With this initiative, according to the Government, it is planned to cooperate in the defense of workers’ rights, in the development of training skills and skills adapted to technological and environmental innovation in the labor market, in the promotion of the Social Economy and in the promotion of democracy in the workplace.
The Vice-President also met with the Mayor of Mexico City, whose government, according to the Ministry, has become a benchmark for Latin America in its conquest for civil rights and in the implementation of protection mechanisms for unemployment and in the promotion of policies in favor of the social economy. She was also received by Marcelo Ebrard, with whom she analyzed the international panorama marked by the Russian invasion of Ukraine in Europe and its economic, political and social consequences, as well as the new horizon that is opening up in the American continent in view of a new cycle of progressive governments in Latin America.
