:: The Spanish Minister for Employment and Immigration, Celestino Corbacho, has dismissed requests from Spanish businessmen for more flexibility in the labour market. He said that he would not be making sackings easier for businesses as the crisis does not have a labour cause.
He considers that the elements which need correction are purely economic such as increasing the supply of raw materials and the lack of liquidity in the international markets.
Corbacho says that he thinks some 20,000 immigrants will take up the government’s plan to pay all their unemployment pay entitlement in two lump sums on the condition that they return to their country of origin for at least three years. The number is about 20 per cent of the 100,000 immigrants currently collecting unemployment benefit in Spain. ::
