The PP opens to support the new anti-crisis package of the Government if they are accepted "some" of your measurements

The Popular Party would be willing to support the government’s new package of anti-crisis measures, which includes freezing rental prices for contract renewals and a 200-euro check for working families, as long as it includes some of the measures that propose. This was stated this Monday at a press conference by the PP Deputy Secretary of Economy, Juan Bravo: “If the Government says yes to some of our measures, our vote will be closer to yes, otherwise it will be closer to abstention ”.

He has also insisted that the Executive “copy the measures of the PP”, although “late and in a reduced way”, while criticizing that it lacks a plan. Bravo’s statements come after last week the Government detailed the news of the royal decree-law approved by the Council of Ministers to deal with the energy crisis and the high inflation caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine with special focus on the food cost.

In this sense, the PP Deputy Secretary of Economy reminded the press of the measures that his party proposes: taxation for employment, the need to simplify bureaucratic obstacles, a reduction in superfluous political spending, activating European funds Next Generation“and all this aimed at economic growth and job creation, which leaves no one behind”, he pointed out.

Bravo has also criticized the Government’s proposal for a check with a single payment of 200 euros for families with incomes of less than 27,000 euros a year and assets that do not exceed 75,000 euros, when compared with the youth cultural voucher of 400 euros. “Giving 200 euros to families and 400 euros to young people to spend, for example, on video games does not seem very logical with what is falling. It makes more sense to help families, low incomes, pensioners ”, he pointed out, to later denounce that, in his opinion, these are measures that represent a “patch” and not a true solution.

On the other hand, despite the fact that the CPI has been reduced to 5.8% year-on-year in December, Bravo has reproached the Government for the underlying inflation -which excludes energy and fresh food- stands at 6.9% . “Underlying inflation continues to rise, it is not data to poke chest, but to take measures that help workers and companies to control it”, he concluded.
