Díaz affirms in Valencia that the next legislature will bring fair financing for the Community

The leader of Sumar and acting vice president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, has assured that there will be no progressive coalition government without the Valencian Community "inside" and that the next legislature will be that of autonomous financing for this community "for justice."

In a public event at the Palau de les Arts in València together with the three representatives of Compromís-Sumar for the province of Valencia, Díaz told militants of the Valencian party that Nacho Álvarez, Sumar's negotiator with the PSOE, and the negotiating commission to form a coalition government "they are giving their all" to achieve equality in the Community, the improvement of Cercanías, the Alicante-Murcia railway connection and also from the Alicante-Elche airport.

Talking about financing, the leader of Sumar has asserted, "is not metapolitics" but rather talking about "having better schools, children's centers, healthcare and many things", and has pointed out that the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, did not talk about the Valencian Community in the investiture debate.

The leader of Sumar has promised to "fight" and "give her all" during the negotiations with the PSOE to have "the best progressive coalition government" and that the next legislature will be one of "social advances" against the "politics of the hatred" of PP and Vox. To achieve this, she has demanded proposals such as the reduction of working hours. "The time has come to move forward," she claimed.

Díaz has defended Sumar's commitment - to establish a maximum working day of 37.5 hours per week in 2024 and progressively reduce it until it is set at 32 hours - with the aim of "increasing productivity", in the face of the "shame" of having "the same working day in the last 100 years." "That is why we are negotiating with the PSOE, but we want more," he expressed during his speech at the Compromís-Sumar 'A per l'agenda valenciana' event, this Saturday in Valencia.

He has also demanded that during the next legislature the layoffs be "touched upon" and "changed," after "they were not achieved in the previous negotiation," with the purpose of "improving the rights of workers when they lose their jobs." . "The next one has to be the labor legislature," she stressed.

Likewise, he has promised to "fight" so that the progressive government agreement includes an increase in the minimum wage and pensions, "unlike what the PP says", as well as stopping climate change, improving healthcare, ending " the precariousness of the public administration" and, in terms of taxation and taxes, that "those who have the most, pay the most".
