The start of the electoral campaign forces the candidates to leave their skin to make it clear that they will be their first steps at the head of the Government. For his part, the leader of the PP and candidate in the general elections on July 23, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has actively and passively assured that he is committed to approving a reduction in VAT on meat and fish. In addition, another of his first actions will lead to a reduction in income tax for workers and the middle class with incomes of less than 40,000 euros.
“If I do not lower the personal income tax for the middle and more modest classes or do not temporarily lower the VAT on meat, fish and preserves, he will be able to say that he lied,” he said this Sunday in an interview with La Razón, collected by Europa Press.
Feijóo aspires to a clear victory
Feijóo points out that his main objective, in case of governing, is to “unite” the Spanish, an idea that is the one that “takes the most sleep” from him. “If the Spanish give me a clear mandate to govern, I will not let them down. I will, of course, accept any result with sportsmanship, but what is keeping me up at night today is getting the majority necessary to open a new chapter in the history of Spain, from coherence, stability and honesty. And recover State policies”, he pointed out.
Among other measures, Feijóo stresses that he will replace the crime of sedition, and the same with classifying the crime of illegal referendum or recovering the crime of embezzlement. “If I don’t, I’m lying,” he warns. “In everything that has to do with the defense of the integrity of the State, honor in the management of public funds or strict compliance with the Constitution, there is no room for rectification,” he insisted.
In economic matters, the leader of the PP defends that he will lower personal income tax for the lowest incomes because “Spain cannot continue to be the OECD country that has lost the most disposable family income.”
It distances itself from Vox regarding LGTBI rights and sexist violence
During the interview with the aforementioned medium, Feijóo has distanced himself from Vox on issues related to the group that must be given a lot of thought about this matter.
“In Spain there are sexist crimes, as in the whole world. As for the LGTBI collective, they deserve to have their rights and freedoms recognized, of course. And we have done it and we are going to continue doing it. Therefore, I don’t know if the Vox’s position is an electoral strategy, but I do not agree with it and it will be outside the actions of the PP governments,” he indicated. In this regard, he adds that the rights of the collective are “enshrined” in the Constitution. “The right to sexual freedom is a right enshrined in the Constitution and we have always protected it in our policies”, he has sentenced.
