Logroño, (EFE).- The Minister of Inclusion, Social Security, Migrations, José Luis Escrivá, said this Wednesday in Logroño that Vox’s electoral program in terms of pensions “is clear” with privatizing them; while that of the PP is “enormously ambiguous and leaves the book open to be filled in as it has to be filled out.”
This has been indicated in statements to journalists at a public act of the Riojan PSOE in Logroño, after meeting with leaders of the UGT and CCOO and with the socialist candidates of La Rioja number one for the Congress of Deputies, Elisa Garrido; and to the Senate, Concha Andreu.
The social agents, he indicated, “have conveyed to us their enormous concern about the curtailment of social dialogue, which has occurred where the PP governs with Vox, as is the case of Castilla y León, where a huge reversal is taking place”.
It is a “very disturbing element because it reveals what a government of these characteristics would entail, the result of the upcoming elections,” he added.
According to Escriba, “the maintenance of the purchasing power of pensions is at stake and the PP, not to mention Vox, systematically voted against all the reform blocks, they even went to Brussels and Mr. Feijóo was there to try to disrupt that agreement”.
The objective of the PP is “to return to the 2013 reform, of massive pension cuts”, assured the minister, for whom “there is enormous ambiguity in the PP program”, which, however, “is not in Vox’s, in which it clearly says to privatize a pension system and go to a Chilean-style system”.
“For this reason, the Vox program is very specific and that of the PP is very diffuse on some issues, such as taxes,” he emphasized.
