That's pretty stupid. A minimum wage is important to fight wage dumping. And in this fight workers from poor countries always win when they just come here to work and don't really make a living here and build a future with a family.
As Bartender I know there jobs taken for 4-5 €/h in gastronomia before the min wage laws. No German can live from that. But someone from East-Europe who just came here to work and sleep and go back in their country can do it. A min wage is important to keep your own people in the jobs - especially in the EU where many countries with different wealth can travel and work without any problems in the whole EU.
And we see these 100% capitalism counties like the USA - we laughing and crying when we see people have to pay for going to the hospital or want study lol
