Alberto Núñez Feijoó has presented this Thursday a battery of proposals to support the self-employed to restore their confidence with measures that reward their collaboration. The president of the PP assures that the self-employed cannot be “the drink-payers of the Government's excesses” and criticizes that in “España there is not a fiscal policy, but a recaudatory cruelty”. “It is not about -he has said- choosing between paying less or having services. It is about governing well and that has not happened in España”.
In the opinion of the leader of the Popular Party, “the State has to accompany the entrepreneur, not persecute them because it is essential that entrepreneurship does not become a struggle with the administration" and for this reason, he proposes a new contract between the Administration and the people. “The Government -he states- has to earn trust by being clean. Furthermore, it must return that trust by recognizing the right to error of the self-employed and other taxpayers, so that the first administrative non-compliance is not sanctionable and collaboration is rewarded," he relates.
Feijóo's battery
In this regard, he proposes a battery of measures that includes:
-Do not change the rules without prior notice
-A tax relief with zero rate in the first years,
-Tax and VAT exemptions for the first 85,000 euros,
-Drastic reduction of bureaucracy with one or two declarations per year instead of a quarterly one, at the self-employed person's choice.
-Guarantee generational relay with the creation of a register of businesses for transfer.
"Families pay more than ever and receive less and less"
Feijóo has called for the “socio-economic awakening of Spain with a State that works again”. “The Government -he maintains- has stolen Spaniards' money with so much corruption and is stealing our welfare state. Families pay more than ever and receive less and less,” he indicates.
The president of the Popular Party has also lamented that “the Government does not collect taxes to improve the country but to cover its shortcomings. What is happening in Spain is not a fiscal policy, it is a recaudatory viciousness. If decadence increases at the same rate as taxes -he argues-, then the economic policy is unjust.”
"Deactivate the poisoned legacy"
Already on a national level, Feijóo has stated that, if the PP reaches the Government, the first thing it will have to do is “deactivate the poisoned legacy that has been building up” during sanchismo. “I am perfectly aware of the minefield I am going to find myself in. But also that the majority of Spaniards are as aware as I am,” he warns.
At this point, he notes that the clear objective of the necessary change is that “Spain respects itself again”. “It is not an empty slogan, it is an urgent necessity, derived from so many years in which the state apparatus has been treated as a tool at the service of a personal project,” he emphasizes
