Sep. 22 () –

The second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, has stressed that she is negotiating with the Treasury, within the framework of the General State Budgets, the new tax for large fortunes, apart from other new measures, and has been convinced that there will be an agreement on this tax because it is a proposal that “always” has come from United We Can.

In statements to the media, he has asserted that there will be an agreement in “time and form” on future public accounts and this new tax, without entering into the debate on whether it should be temporary or permanent in full talks on the measure, given that what is relevant is its deployment at the present time.

Likewise, he has stressed that it is necessary to address the “emergencies” and the consequences derived from the war in Ukraine, for which taxes are needed for those who “have the most”, as opposed to the PP’s position based on “fiscal gifts to the rich ” and practice “fiscal dumping”.

At this point, he explained that the team from the confederal space, including his chief of staff and Secretary of State Nacho Álvarez, addresses this proposal with “documents” as well as other measures for the Budgets, which he will not reveal .

ECHENIQUE WANTS THE TAX TO BE PERMANENT

Previously, the parliamentary spokesman for United We Can, Pablo Echenique, welcomed this Thursday that the PSOE has assumed the “historical demand” of its formation and has shown his desire that it continue to give in and end up accepting a tax that is applied in a permanent and not temporary, as the Treasury has proposed.

Echenique has recalled how just a few months ago United We Can defended in Congress a bill to tax large estates and prevent the autonomous communities from being able to fully discount it, being rejected by Congress with the vote against the PSOE.

For this reason, he has ironized that many of his proposals are first “Bolivarian”, then “impossible”, then “illegal”, because the European Union does not allow it, “then they start to sound good”, then they are accepted but temporarily , until later they are permanent.

“We hope this is the case. We are very stubborn and we are going to continue insisting,” said Echenique, who has assumed future meetings with the Treasury to be able to specify the nature and scope of the new tax.

The spokesman explained the PSOE’s change in position in that, as it is a “common sense” proposal, “it ends up breaking through” and causes the positions of the parties to move, recalling how its proposal to end lost profits of the energy sky has not only been accepted in Spain, but within the framework of the European Union.
