Youth is one of Pedro Sánchez's priorities in this electoral campaign of 28-M, as evidenced by his successive commitments to increase the public housing stock at affordable prices to facilitate the emancipation of young people, to increase economic investment to reinforce the vocational training and reducing youth unemployment, or to strengthen public education and reduce dropout rates. To all this, the President of the Government added another important announcement this Saturday, made during the PSOE electoral rally that he staged in Murcia in front of 4,200 supporters, to make it easier for young people between the ages of 18 and 30 to travel through Europe and Spain this summer. An initiative that will also serve to boost the tourism and cultural sector.
Sánchez has thus announced that the Government will finance 50% of Interrail, so that thousands of young people between the ages of 18 and 30 can travel this summer through Europe, between June 15 and September 15.
In addition, to make it easier for young people to also travel through Spain, the Chief Executive has announced that a 90% discount will be applied on trains and buses that depend on the State and 50% on high-speed trains, for this range of age this summer.
Sánchez stressed that in this way the Government will help young people, but also the tourism sector and the cultural sector, by promoting thousands of national destinations, and will also collaborate with the development of rural Spain. The objective, as he stressed, is to promote "the historical and cultural heritage, and knowledge of our country for young people."
Spain is the second most visited country in the world, but "it is full of unknown treasures" for many Spaniards, according to Sánchez. “That is why we are going to help our young people to get to know Spain better, traveling this summer through its interior”, he highlighted.
