According to Brazilian media, an increment was decreed which raises the minimum wage from 1412 reais (228 dollars) to 1518 reais (245 dollars).

The minimum wage adjustment took into account inflation over the last 12 months (4.84%), marking a 2.5% real increase.

Thats spitting on the face of the working class

It is very mild, yeah, and it is to be expected of social democrats, especially Lula, who is particularly lukewarm compared to Petro, or the Frente Amplio in Uruguay

Its nothing at all. Its less than 4 reais a day, cant do shit with it. Prices are rising like crazy, like coffee has incresed almost 100% since Lula took office. Lula also put a cap on how much the minimum wage can increase. Its getting harder and harder to support Lula

Yeah, it's getting to imperial core-level bs (looking at PSOE). At least with Boric I would say I saw it coming from the start (though maybe not that level of bootlicker)

I suppose you mean PSOL, to wich i respond "Fuck PSOL". Its the NGO-Washington-Identitarian party. And yeah, Boric received way too much positive coverage from the mass media, makes you raise an eyebrow

No, I mean the Spanish socdem party (which is saying the most progressive socdems in the EU for some reason). The only thing they did in like 5 years is raising min wage to catch up with inflation and subsidizing landlords

Oh, sorry, my mistake. Classic of them

They also just aproved a cap on the growth of minimum wage as well. I think it was about 2% max per year. The Brazilian congress is fully controled by the right by the way.

Although Lula can appoint a few of the minister how he wants the majority must be appointed by the right in congress, else they block everything Lula tries and then do even worse things than normal.

Lula could get the people on the streets to try to put pressure in at least somethings though but doesn't do it at all.
