Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (EFE) social majority”.
During a rally of his party in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Feijóo has asked people who are disenchanted with the management of the coalition government to turn their backs on “Sanchismo” at the polls on May 28 because the PP has said , “he is touching the change with his hands”.
Accompanied by his party’s candidate for mayor of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Jimena Delgado, and the candidate for the Presidency of the Canary Islands, Manuel Domínguez, Núñez Feijóo opined that Pedro Sánchez has converted the PSOE, previously a “state party that he defended the interests of the majority”, he said, in a party that defends the “personal” interests of its general secretary.
“Sanchismo has liquidated the PSOE, but the social majority will abandon Sánchez at the polls”, has predicted the national president of the PP.
Likewise, Núñez Feijóo has described the measure announced by Sánchez to improve primary care with 580 million as a “joke”.
“It touches 44,000 euros for each health center. It is not even enough to fix the roof ”, Feijóo ironized, who has also considered the 30 million euros for mental health insufficient because each autonomous community by itself already spends more than that amount on this issue.
Feijóo has also emphasized the increase in the cost of life and the difficulties of citizens to make ends meet, facts that are aggravated in the Canary Islands.
“Politicians should not armor themselves in exclusive planes. I speak with the merchants and in all places the citizens are worried about inflation, while the Government prefers to talk about other things”, the popular president affirmed.
In this sense, he has criticized that his party has proposed to the Government to reduce the VAT on meat, fish and preserves and that the central Executive has not endorsed the measure, despite the fact that there are some foods that have increased their price up to a 70%, with an average rise of 25%, has ensured.
He also recalled that the PP proposed a fund for vulnerable families with difficulties in paying mortgages, which on average have become more expensive by 300 euros.
“Spain is the OECD country where the purchasing power of families has fallen the most and it is the European Union country that has increased tax pressure the most in recent years. We have proposed adjusting the income tax downwards to medium and low incomes and the Government refuses ”, he added.
From all this situation, Núñez Feijóo has deepened, the “only beneficiary” has been the Government of Spain, which has collected 42,000 million euros more in 2022 than in 2021 and, “even so”, it has borrowed “more than ever” .
Feijóo has also predicted that “until Sunday” Pedro Sánchez will announce “all kinds of aid” that he will later withdraw.
“What interests them is that they vote for them on Sunday. And as of Sunday, they are no longer interested in their vote, but in continuing to have money to prepare for the next electoral campaign,” said the opposition leader, who has criticized Spain for issuing 8 million euros of debt every hour.
He added that in Spain, which has a “divided” government, ERC and Bildu are in charge, parties “that do not believe in the State” and he has insisted that the country and the autonomous communities do not deserve “a Sanchismo” that “divides territories, repeals the crime of sedition, lowers embezzlement penalties, pardons those convicted or leaves thousands of rapists on the street.”
Regarding the Canary Islands, he said that the islands do not deserve that the PSOE has put them on the national map “because of the Tito Berni corruption scandal.” EFE
