Government directly questions Feijo for anti-crisis plan, while PP insists on tax cuts

The shocking plan in response to the aftermath of the Ukraine war included the “Extraordinary Council of Ministers”, but not because of its call, but because of the multimillion-dollar aid (a total of 16,000 million state funds). Starter Nadia Calvino, who appeared alongside two other vice presidents, Yolanda Diaz and Theresa Ribera, wanted Moncloa to show the coalition unity in the case. “Spain responds” is the new motto of the government, which leaves the pandemic “Spain can” and the logo of the recovery plan. It was all the landscape of a press conference in which, in addition to the dissolution of measures and the extension of the technical issues of the decree law published by Pedro Sanchez this Monday, Moncloe used the opportunity to directly confront Alberto Nunez Feijo’s PP to print the change.

That asserted. This is the will of Pedro Sanchez, but the PP can arrange this change if he still abstains from voting, which has not yet been dated but which will take place within the 30 working days prescribed by law. By this time the President of Galicia will officially take the reins in Genoa.

“We believe that unity and responsibility will win and there will be a positive response [ha dicho Calviño sobre la votación en el Parlamento]. “I am not going to wait for the events until we see whether Mr Feio will use this opportunity to show a change in PP orientation on such an important issue for Spanish citizens.” The message was clear, but PP insists on the demand for tax cuts and remains unclear about the direction of voting.

The PP plan to reduce fuel taxes will reduce state revenue by nearly $ 20,000 million, in addition to part of the money raised going to the autonomous communities box.

Which the singer spoke at a press conference where they always avoided controversy. Yolanda Diaz even avoided answering the question about the fiscal reform given in the coalition agreement and pointed out what the person in charge of the economic sphere had answered before. “We are going to do it again and we are going to get out of this crisis together,” the second vice president said, to make clear the unity of the government and other actors.

I may like it more or less, but serious work is needed. The rise in this figure is not serious. “I was surprised,” Calvinio told Cadena SER last night. Bellara argued Tuesday morning that this is a political position.

At a press conference, Theresa Ribery struck a balance sheet, noting that “there are many technical elements” to the reference price and that this should be done between Spain, Portugal and the European Commission. “Negotiating a reference threshold is not something that can be easily resolved in context. It requires significant work beyond that, ”said the head of the Department of Environmental Transition, who explained that there are several thresholds that can be taken as a hint (it was € 20 before it started to rise, on average 50 last year, or more than 100, which is 2022 Is the average of the year). This is what the governments of Spain and Portugal should now address to the executive branch of the community. “This is a political and technical issue. The goal is the lowest price. “Strict technical work must be done to determine this, which we are developing,” Calvinio explained.
