Toledo has become the epicenter of Spanish politics this Saturday. If the PP has announced from the capital of Castilla-La Mancha its new tour for equality to reinforce its opposition action to Pedro Sánchez, the President of the Government has gathered his Executive at the Quintos de Mora farm to coordinate the political initiative at the beginning of the year.
At this meeting of the members of the Council of Ministers, which is intended to help the newly incorporated members get to know each other better, the Government spokesperson and head of Education, Pilar Alegría, explained that the meeting aims to project the legislature in the first of its four years of experience.
This impulse, Alegría highlighted, has three pillars: "More and better employment, more rights and promoting coexistence" among Spanish citizens. "In short, measures to improve people's lives," the spokesperson summarized.
Specifically, Alegría has highlighted that "in just two months", since Sánchez was inaugurated last November by a slim parliamentary majority, the Government has revalued pensions, raised the SMI, extended the social shield, approved the Parity law, has allocated one billion euros to science, "to improve the conditions of researchers", and has obtained ten billion euros of European funds "to transform the country and create jobs."
"We do all of this with dialogue and agreement," Alegría stressed at a time when the transfers to Junts to be able to carry out two of the three decrees that have been voted on in Congress - meeting in the Senate - this week have received severe criticism from the head of the opposition, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who sees in them "extortion" and "blackmail" at the hands of Carles Puigdemont from Brussels.
"This is the only way to guarantee social peace and the durability of the measures over time," defended, on the contrary, Alegría, who has accused the PP of forming together with Vox "a reactionary and antisocial coalition", given realize that both parties, which Podemos joined in the case of the decree sponsored by the second vice president and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, leader of Sumar, voted "against the social initiatives" promoted by the Government.
In this sense, the spokesperson recalled that both the conservatives and the extreme right have proposed this week in their respective amendments to the entire amnesty law "to illegalize parties that do not think like them", even though the PP has clarified that It only proposes "dissolving" political organizations if they commit illegal acts, not because of their ideas. "We are going to continue working to respond to the problems faced by that coalition that only knows how to say no to any advance of our country," Alegría concluded.
