Granada, (EFE) general elections” that he envisions as “a change” for the country similar to the one incarnated by Felipe González in 1982.
Feijóo has also offered to the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, to modify the penalties for the crime of embezzlement that the Executive recently lowered and that the EU now considers should be higher, as it already did, he recalled, when the PP He gave his support to the Socialists to carry out the reform of the penalties of the law of only yes is yes when his partner from United We Can oppose it.
Addressing the Andalusian president who preceded him to speak and referring to Juanma Moreno’s plans for irrigation in the Doñana Park, which the Government has opposed, Feijóo stated: “dear Juanma, between you and I am going to put the water in Andalusia, which is my personal, political and institutional commitment”.
The two popular leaders have starred in this act in the García Lorca park in Granada to support their candidate for mayor, Marifrán Carazo, who aspires to become the first female mayor of this city.
For Feijóo, the change that arrived in Andalusia a year ago and “that will arrive in Granada in a few days is the change that will arrive in Spain in a few months” and he has assured that it reminds him of “that change of the year ’82 by Felipe González. “For the first time Spain voted in a majority for the socialist party to consolidate democracy, and seeing that PSOE and the current one it is clear that Spain was right in ’82”, he has ironized him.
“I want to win the elections so that the Spanish people can win the changes they have been waiting for for a long time. I want a united country, I want citizens to trust politics again, I want to be the best version of real politics, and for that we are all going to work together”, he highlighted.
His intention, he continued, is to “prove that things can be done differently”, that “in the face of the politics that confronts” -of which he has accused “Sanchismo” and its partners- another one is made that “adds and contributes”, which works “by and for the citizens” and not “for the obsession of being in power”. “Faced with a policy that legislates based on bungling, a policy that makes laws for citizens.”
Feijóo has also lamented the loss of purchasing power of salaries due to inflation and has criticized Sánchez for having promised in his day an income agreement that he has never fulfilled and with which, in his opinion, more jobs could be created ” of quality” and not only discontinuous fixed ones, that these “only interest the Government, we are the fixed ones”.
In this sense, he has celebrated that unions and employers are reaching an agreement to raise wages. “Despite the attempts of the Government to confront them, they are giving a lesson in responsibility”, he observed, when asking to reach “an income pact among all”, and that the Government “at least not get in the way”.
From the PP, he has stressed, he is not going to “never insult the workers and employers, nor confront them, so that the Spanish can recover purchasing power”, and has asked the Government to stop “crushing” the middle classes with tax increases and has demanded that personal income tax be lowered for the lowest incomes and VAT on foods such as meat, fish or preserves be reduced.
