The Popular Party has not analyzed the new package of measures to reinforce social protection announced this morning by Pedro Sánchez and, anticipating that the Prime Minister would make new announcements to "remain at the head of the most expensive Executive in history" has sticking to the speech that he had already prepared to criticize the Executive's economic plan, accusing him of "dusting off the class struggle." "It is not about ending wealth but poverty", he has added in reference to the recent announcement to include a specific tax on large fortunes.
The popular spokeswoman, Cuca Gamarra, has harshly charged Sánchez for governing "irresponsibly" without thinking that "the decisions that are made today affect future generations" and has reproached him for confusing the "Welfare State" with " the well-being of your government. For this reason, she has wondered who wins with his measures: "The citizens or the Executive?
Gamarra has contrasted the Government's plan with that of the PP, recalling some of his economic recipes such as deflating income tax on income below 40,000 euros and prolonging the VAT reduction on gas and electricity beyond December instead of increasing the debt with direct aid: "What's so social about leaving 300,000 million euros of public debt as an inheritance?" he asked.
Gamarra has also warned Sánchez that "he is not here to give lessons" about the case of the 'popular' deputy Alberto Casero -who maintains his record despite being investigated by the Supreme Court- as he is leading a party that collects signatures for pardon those convicted of corruption in the case of the ERE of Andalusia.
The general secretary of the PP thus replied to a previous comment by the President of the Government who, during his speech before the Plenary to explain the Government's anti-crisis measures, asked him: "What does a deputy still do in his group for whom the Court Supreme has asked for a request?
Last week, Congress granted the request to investigate the evidence of crime attributed to Casero, suspected of having committed prevarication and embezzlement for contracts signed when he was mayor of Trujillo (Cáceres).
"Whoever has sentenced two presidents of the PSOE for the biggest case of corruption in the history of democracy is not here to give lessons," Gamarra sentenced at the beginning of his reply to Sánchez.
