The PP has demanded that the central Government "set aside its partisanship" and take on some of its fiscal proposals, including deflating the IRPF, implementing a refundable deduction for children, eliminating taxes linked to electricity production and basic and essential products, as well as lowering the VAT on electricity to 10%, with the aim of addressing "uncontrolled inflation".
These initiatives have been raised by the deputy spokesperson of the PP in Congress, José Vicente Marí, during the appearance of the Minister of Economy, Trade and Business, Carlos Cuerpo, before the Permanent Deputation of Congress.
The 'popular' deputy has stated that the head of the Executive has presented the "latest failure" of his economic policy and has drafted the "epilogue" of an "unviable" legislature, which "has only served for the impunity of the amnesty and for the Government to pursue the impunity of its widespread corruption".
In his speech, Marí criticized that the economic data reflects a growth that "is not transformative, is not inclusive, nor is it sustainable" and that, in his opinion, leads to an economy of "low wages, of precariousness intervened to exhaustion and negative productivity". "The supposed social shields send more and more people to vulnerability," he added.
In contrast, he emphasized that "fortunately" there is a "much better" alternative than that of the current Executive, led by the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, and the party itself.
"It is an alternative that proposes to recover public services, infrastructure and that will take care of the minimum wage but also of raising the average salary from 32,000 to 50,000 euros," he maintained.
In this line, he argued that all the proposals of the PP seek to "change the course of the country", replacing "unease" with the "exciting" task of "improving the lives of Spaniards" and transforming "indignation" into "hope".
