Toledo (EFE) in Extremadura.
This has been indicated by Rodríguez in statements to the media before holding a meeting with pensioners in Ciudad Real, where he has also thrown Feijóo in the face that he has had to be “corrected by the European institutions” in relation to his position before labor reform and now says it is “good.”
The also candidate of the PSOE to the Congress of Deputies has defended that the Socialists are “encouraged” with a view to the start of the campaign for the general elections on July 23, and “satisfied to have made progress in the country in terms of social rights, of pensions and with the labor reform”.
This contrasts, in his opinion, with a PP that “does not finish counting its program” but that has shown that “some of the lines on which it wanted it to pilot this campaign are missing” as the “fallacy” of the most voted.
Since it has materialized the “marriage of convenience with the extreme right” that supposes “a lot of cost” for the Spaniards and especially for Valencians, for those who live in the Balearic Islands and for Extremadurans.
Feijóo, “disabled from the start”
In this sense, he has criticized that the PP has ceded fundamental powers such as the management of natural heritage to “people who deny climate change.”
Likewise, Rodríguez has considered that Feijóo is “disabled from the start” to try to lead the Government of Spain insofar as “he lies to the Spaniards with his remuneration” and violates the Transparency Law and the Senate regulations.
At this point, he has asked the ‘popular’ leader why he does not tell “what his bonuses are about and what he is trying to hide” as well as “what are you waiting for” because his fellow party members are registering and updating the declarations of assets.
In addition, the spokesperson for the Executive has pointed out the “correction” of the European institutions to “the fallacy of the repeal” of Feijóo in terms of the labor reform, having to assume that it is good and that the vote of the deputy Alberto Casero that allowed to approve the reform was not a computer error but what the PP wanted was to “boycott what has been one of the great advances of this legislature.”
Pensions: “if it were up to Feiijóo, pensions would have gone up 40 euros”
In this line and before the pensioners who have attended the event in Ciudad Real, the minister has presented the pension reform carried out by the Government of Pedro Sánchez as another of the great advances of the legislature by “reversing the cuts in the PP to pensioners” and revalue them according to the price of life.
This measure, he explained, takes the form that each month pensioners earn around 250 euros more and that at the end of the year it will be about 1,400 or 1,500 euros more.
“If it had been for Mariano Rajoy, which is the same as saying Feijóo, pensions would have risen just 40 euros a year,” Rodríguez has sentenced.
For this reason, he has remarked that what 23J is about is choosing between continuing with a public pension system that increases them and guarantees that young people will have a public pension tomorrow, or “going back to the past in the that they froze and the piggy bank ran out”. EFE
