The opinion criticizes the increasing bureaucratic burden imposed on entrepreneurs, such as the Verifactu system and time control, which generates additional costs and management hours.

The entrepreneur continues to carry the stigma of being the "villain of the movie", associated with savage capitalism and the exclusive pursuit of profit, despite their efforts to push their projects forward.
This perception contrasts with the reality of many entrepreneurs, including members of PIMEC Joves, who represent first, second, and third generations struggling to maintain family businesses or simply earn a living as best they can.
The need to scrutinize business processes is undeniable, but new regulations imply significant costs. Recently, the postponement of the digital invoicing system Verifactu highlighted the expense in new software and management hours for the entrepreneur.

Perhaps someone will ask if all this bureaucratic web is intended to favor the system or to suffocate those who feed it.

Added to this is the implementation of mandatory time tracking, often disliked by the workers themselves, which also generates additional expenses and management hours for companies. The latest obligations, such as salary transparency and equality or LGTBIQ+ plans, continue to increase the administrative and financial burden.
This bureaucratic obstacle course raises the question of whether the system favors or suffocates the business fabric. If we want it to survive, perhaps we should focus on how to make life a little easier for those who sustain it.
