Yolanda Díaz has announced that the timekeeping will be approved before summer. The second vice president of the Government advanced this commitment during a press conference where she reviewed the immediate legislative agenda.
The head of Labor will take the debate to the next delegated commission of the Government for Economic Affairs. This decision marks a turning point in a measure long demanded by her department.
The Council of State favors employers
Díaz affirmed that the State Council's opinion deliberately sides with the employers' criteria. The minister showed her disagreement with the legal report that has temporarily halted the processing.

The vice president criticized that the Ministry of Economy has always resisted this measure. She specifically pointed out the stages led by Nadia Calviño and Carlos Cuerpo as periods of internal blockage.
Tensions with Junts and the PP
Díaz reproached Junts per Catalunya for its rejection of the rent extension decree. The leader of Sumar defended her favorable vote, assuring that she did it on the side of 500,000 affected Catalans.
This stance generates friction with its parliamentary partners at a delicate moment for the executive's stability. The controversy over housing further strains the relationship between both groups.
The vice president stated that the Popular Party is being held hostage by Vox and Junts per Catalan Alliance. Díaz used these words to describe the political drift of the right-wing opposition.

The announcement of working time registration comes in a context of high internal political conflict. The government is trying to balance social demands with the reluctance of its partners and institutional opposition.
