The Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, has taken advantage of this Sunday to make an appearance at the PSOE headquarters and breastfeed the economic achievements of the Government in the face of bad omens and predictions from the right. After repeating that the economy will grow by 5% in “a good economic year 2022”, the minister recalled that Spain now has the lowest inflation in the Eurozone and has launched a calculation on the increase in pensions, according to which, after the revaluation with the 8.5% of CPI that has been made this year, the average pension in Spain has been set at 263 euros.
Without giving further explanations about how this calculation is made, Bolaños has presumed that it is an achievement of the PSOE that with a right-wing government would not have occurred, since its reform was based on not updating the benefits with the CPI. In his economic balance, the minister recorded that almost half a million jobs have been created last year, an economic background that he hopes will serve to face the regional and municipal elections in May in 2023, and the general ones of “November or December”, He said.
In an impromptu appearance this Sunday, Bolaños charged against the PP and its leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, to whom he recorded his opposition to the “Iberian solution” for gas, which now “is copying all of Europe”, and his lack of alternatives.
