Vox will frustrate Ayuso's tax cuts to attract foreign investors

A few hours after the Government's "temporary solidarity tax" for fortunes of more than 3 million euros took shape, Isabel Díaz Ayuso made a move to try to keep Madrid's tax attractiveness intact and announced the creation of an incentive to Potential new investors in the Community of Madrid, especially aimed at foreigners. But the regional president will not be able to execute her tax reform. At least in this legislature since Vox does not intend to support the Popular Party.

Its leader in the Assembly, Rocío Monasterio, has not waited for the last parliamentary plenary session to be held this Thursday before the 28M elections and this Tuesday she confirmed her rejection of the proposed tax deduction law on the grounds that "it does not have pint" that the PP wants to negotiate with Vox so that "the people of Madrid have the same conditions".

"We are going to vote 'no' to the law on privileges for foreigners because we do not see any initiative on the part of the Government to protect the people of Madrid, to give them the same conditions if they come to invest in Madrid", Monasterio asserted in the last round press after the Board of Spokesmen of the legislature.

Monasterio recalled that Vox has presented an initiative, a non-legal proposal (PNL), so that these deductions also apply to the people of Madrid, but "it doesn't look like the government wants to negotiate with us."

In his opinion, the ultranationalist party offers a hand to the PP but what he receives are "slaps" and what he sees from the president are "attacks ordered from Genoa."

For his part, the PP spokesman, Pedro Muñoz Abrines, has indicated that this law "is not for foreigners" only, it is also for Spaniards and Madrid residents "who decide to return", and has reproached Monasterio for having the same discourse as the leader from More Madrid, Monica Garcia.

"What Vox does are traps for the solitary", said Abrines, who has insisted that he cannot negotiate with what is not "comparable", in this case a legal proposal and a non-legal proposal, since the latter It has no legislative capacity.

"There is no legal possibility to reach a solution, it is pure fallacy, it is impossible to comply. That is the important thing, the rest is to deceive citizens and voters, generate a non-existent scenario," he reproached.
