Jaén (EFE).- The Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, has criticized the statements on the pension reform of the president of the PP, Alberto Nuñez Feijóo, considering that he has dedicated himself “to spread fear to pensioners” while the Government has worked to guarantee the sustainability of the system.
“We from the Government hand in hand with Europe sowing the future, sowing hope, sowing the seed of the sustainability of the public pension model, so that life can rise and also to guarantee a pension piggy bank, just the opposite what they did”, said the minister in Baeza (Jaén).
The Minister of the Presidency has assured that they have reversed what the PP intended to do and “we have reached an agreement from Europe and the social agents so that our pension system is sustainable.”
Feijóo says that the reform will be “paid for” by workers and companies
In an interview with El Español, the president of the PP has rejected the reform on the grounds that “the workers, the self-employed, SMEs and consumers are going to pay” and that its viability is not guaranteed.
Núñez Feijóo has regretted that the Government has promoted the reform without showing “not a single piece of paper” to the PP and without the consensus of the businessmen. “It already seems meritorious to them to have reached an agreement within the Government. This is how it goes ”, he has reprimanded.
The reform, he remarked, “is going to punish workers once again so that the Government collects more and more, because it is a tax on talent, training and competitiveness” that is going to harm exports and competitiveness.
In the opinion of the leader of the PP, “if 1.7 million jobs are not created, the pension system is unsustainable.”
Regarding the government’s criticism of Ferrovial for moving its headquarters to the Netherlands, Núñez Feijóo pointed out that these attacks cause “enormous insecurity” among large companies and “international discredit”.
“That Sánchez is the most ‘hooligan’ of the entire Government, pointing out and disqualifying the president of a company as unpatriotic is something that we have to put an end to. It is necessary to open a period in which the investment is well received, which has incentives and facilities. If they have a problem, we sit down with them and look for solutions”, he proposed.
