MADRID, 26 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The PP will take a motion to the plenary session of Congress this week to ask the Government to detail its fiscal consolidation strategy and to find out if it is in accordance with the budget guidelines determined by the European Union on the Stability and Growth Pacts.
The motion, to which Europa Press has had access, is the result of a challenge from the ‘popular’ to the First Vice President and Minister of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation, Nadia Calviño. Specifically, the interpellation, defended by the coordinator of the Economy of the Popular Group in Congress, Jaime de Olano, asked Calviño for explanations about the measures that the Executive intends to adopt to restore confidence in the economy.
And it is that for the PP, the explanations that the minister gave in this regard, do not represent a “realistic diagnosis” of the economic and social situation that families, the self-employed and companies face, and neither “provides any solution”.
For this reason, in addition to this strategy of fiscal consolidation, the PP demands that the Government reduce “superfluous and unproductive” political spending, in order to free up the “necessary public resources” to help families and companies fiscally without increasing the debt.
On the other hand, the PP also encourages the recovery of a reformist agenda that aims to improve the competitiveness of companies and of Spain, as well as improving the management of European funds so that they “really serve to modernize” the Spanish productive fabric.
Likewise, it is committed to a Plan in Defense of Families that focuses on the Spanish middle class, with the aim of recovering both the number of Spaniards that are part of it and the economic and social level it had before the current crisis.
Finally, the Popular Group urges the Government to focus specific aid on the most vulnerable groups, in order to reverse “the increase in inequality and poverty that has occurred since 2018.”
