Madrid (EFE) .
In statements to the media before attending the inauguration of the Socialist Youth Congress in Madrid this Sunday, Calviño has once again demanded that the PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, hold a debate with the person from his party who is going to lead economic policy if they eventually reach the Government after the general elections on July 23.
Calviño asks what the PP’s economic policy agenda is
“What is your economic policy agenda? Who would lead that economic policy?” Calviño asked before suing Feijoó to say what he is going to do with pensions or the labor reform.
“I call on them to say who will lead the economic policy and that we have a debate to offer the public a clear contrast between our policy and nothing, which is what we know of their economic program at the moment,” he stated.
In addition, the first vice president has accused the PP of being “economic deniers” and colliding “against reason and the reality of the data”, with growth forecasts from national and international organizations that are “above” those of the Government.
“Faced with this, we have some leaders of the PP who have been making catastrophic predictions, which demonstrates the need to know who is the person who knows about the economy, because of course those who make public statements show every day that they do not know,” he said. continued.
A government of PP and Vox would mean “a slowdown” at the arrival of European funds
Calviño has considered that a government of PP and Vox would mean “a slowdown” at the arrival of European funds and has given as an example what happened in Italy.
“We are talking about European funds, about the labor reform. You don’t play with things to eat, and you have to do experiments with soda”, he said.
Interrupted during his intervention
During her speech, Calviño was interrupted by a neighbor from Puente de Vallecas, who reproached her for not talking about squatters and people “who live off the Government and have to buy cars.”
The vice-president replied that what must be promoted is that working people and young people have access to decent housing: “I completely agree with you that we have to make sure that the entire system rewards and encourages effort and that they make the best to contribute for your country”.
At the neighbor’s insistence on the squatters, Calviño recalled that they had proposed in Parliament a modification of the law on procedural agility so that illegal vacancy is as agile as possible and has called on her to “have a calmer conversation” after the appearance, so that at the end he has approached where this citizen was.
