The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, will meet this Monday with the National Board of Directors of the PP with the reconstruction work after DANA in the epicenter, although the Popular Party wants return focus to “scandals” who, in his opinion, surround the head of the Executive, Pedro Sánchez, and distance him from the president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón.
In fact, the meeting of the senior staff of the PP – the highest body of the party between congresses that brings together territorial ‘barons’, parliamentarians of the formation and territorial officials – takes place when one year turns of the investiture of Pedro Sánchez as President of the Government.
«In 12 months Sánchez has approved the amnesty law, he has agreed on a Catalan quota with the independence movement, the state attorney general has been charged and cases of alleged corruption such as the Koldo casesources from Feijóo’s team have told Europa Press.
According to the ‘popular’, Sánchez has achieved a “record of scandals” in this last year that, in his opinion, portray a “Government on fire.” “Never has a president of Spain had so many cases of corruption surrounding him and so serious,” said this weekend the deputy secretary of Territorial Policy of the PP, Elías Bendodo.
The PP wants to put the focus on the head of the Executive and with that objective confirmed last Friday his appearance in the case opened against his brother, David Sánchez Pérez-Castejón, in court number 3 of Badajoz.
Coinciding with this anniversary of Sánchez’s investiture, the PP has released a video on social networks in which it assures that in one year of coalition government “Spain goes backwards and corruption only advances«. Furthermore, he denounces Sánchez’s »fiscal axes«, that he has »broken his housing promises« and that Spain »doubles the European average for youth unemployment«.
The PP assures that in Spain there is a Government “that does not govern” and that “has only approved an immoral amnesty and putting earpieces in Congress”, while “counting its parliamentary defeats by the dozens.” “How long are you going to continue wasting the Spaniards’ time?” ends the PP video.
Three weeks after DANA
The meeting of the National Board of Directors of the PP takes place almost three weeks after the DANA, which has caused more than 220 deaths and extensive material damage. After apologizing and admitting that it could have been done better, Mazón committed this Friday to the reconstruction of the Valencian Community, demanded that the Government of Pedro Sánchez be “up to par” with what those affected need and advanced the creation of a commission investigation in the Valencian Cortes and another in Congress.
Furthermore, Mazón stated that if he is not “capable of leading the reconstruction” of the towns in the province of Valencia devastated by the DANA on October 29, he will personally assume “the political consequences.” not running for re-election«as head of the Consell.
From the national leadership of the PP they described as «brave«his commitments and announcements, especially that he links his political continuity to an »exemplary« management of the reconstruction in the Valencian Community, as sources from Feijóo’s team told Europa Press.
In the PP they emphasize that Mazón has been the first to offer explanations in parliament, unlike Pedro Sánchez, who will not do so until November 27 (next Monday and Tuesday he will participate in the G20 summit in Brazil). «The President of the Government appears because does not have the necessary votes to prevent it,” ‘popular’ sources have stressed.
In ‘Génova’ they seek to focus on the Government’s responsibility after the catastrophe and especially point to the vice president and minister for the Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera, whose candidacy for European commissioner they ask to withdraw after being “disappeared” in the DANA.
At the meeting of the Board of Directors, Feijóo and his officials will once again express their solidarity and all their support for those affected by the catastrophe, while the PP will once again demand that the Government adjust the aid decrees because, according to the ‘popular’ , there are “many gaps.”
“Fiscal blow”
After the Government this week forced another postponement of its fiscal package due to lack of support, Feijóo is expected to denounce again this Monday before his people the tax increases that, in his opinion, the Government is preparing.
“They are not designing a fiscal package, but they are preparing a fiscal axe,” he said last Friday in Santiago, where he denounced the “embarrassing competition” between PSOE members to put “obstacles” for taxpayers.
The economic spokesman of the PP, Juan Bravo, has indicated that his party will support the Executive’s tax bill if it adheres to the new global minimum tax of the 15% to multinational companieswhich comes from a European Directive, but not if it represents a “fiscal blow” that involves raising taxes on tobacco, diesel, vaping devices or banking. In his opinion, the Government’s intention with this law is to raise “more than 40” taxes.
