Díaz, speaking at a recent conference, acknowledged these challenges but highlighted the positive impact of the policy, despite opposition from some academics and business leaders. "Por muchos adversarios intelectuales que tenga la jornada laboral, académicos o empresariales, sirve para mejorar y no hay marcha atrás," Díaz stated, emphasizing that despite intellectual opposition from academics and business leaders, the measure serves to improve the situation and is irreversible.
