The Spanish government is facing internal tensions over a proposed reduction in the standard workweek from 40 to 37.5 hours by 2025. The Ministry of Labor, led by Yolanda Díaz, accuses the Ministry of Economy of delaying the measure's approval, which is crucial for meeting the legislative timeline.

Díaz claims the delay violates a government agreement and has criticized Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo for blocking progress.

Cuerpo denies the accusations, stating that the process is being handled with necessary guarantees.

Despite a recent meeting between the two ministries, disagreements persist over the urgency and implementation of the law.

The measure, a key promise of the coalition government, faces additional challenges in Parliament, where it may struggle to gain majority support.
