Tensions are rising within Spain's coalition government over a proposed reduction in the workweek to 37.5 hours.

Labor Minister Yolanda Díaz has criticized Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo for suggesting a gradual implementation, arguing it undermines the agreement with unions.

Díaz insists the reduction is a vital commitment to workers, accusing Cuerpo of siding with business interests.

Meanwhile, Cuerpo defends his approach, emphasizing the need to support small businesses and secure parliamentary backing.

The debate highlights divisions between the PSOE and Sumar parties, with unions urging swift action to honor the government’s promises.

The outcome remains uncertain as both sides push their agendas.
