The president of the PP, , has supported the management of the Valencian president, Carlos Mazón, after , in which at least 224 people died. Feijóo has guaranteed that the PP “will give everything of itself” to strengthen Valencia while the socialist party “will do so to wear down the Valencian PP”, he stated in an event with PP mayors of municipalities affected by the floods with which he puts an end to a two-day visit to ground zero of the catastrophe. The opposition leader has expanded on the idea that Pedro Sánchez’s Government has abandoned Valencia after the dana. For his part, Mazón, also in a harsh speech, has attacked Sánchez’s Executive for being “the cruelest and least scrupulous in Spain” and for orchestrating a hunt against him.
Feijóo, who yesterday Wednesday and affected by the disaster of last October 29, in which he avoided the media, has attacked the Executive of Pedro Sánchez “for leaving the Generalitat alone” during the tragedy “and it seems that now He is also going to leave her alone in the reconstruction.” The national leader of the PP has insisted that the aid from the Spanish Government “is insufficient and is not arriving. Only a third are direct and the rest are tax deferrals,” he reiterated after warning that his party gave its votes to the PSOE to approve the aid but “that does not mean that we remain silent and do not demand the presence and commitment of the Spanish Government.” .
The popular leader has recognized “the unity and strength with which you are working, starting with President Mazón, who has stood up and made a brave decision,” he said in reference to his commitment to link his political future to success. of the reconstruction” of the municipalities devastated by the dana.
The president of the PP has announced a bill in Congress to specify what aid those affected need and for each parliamentary group to take a stand. In addition, it has requested the centralized management of aid through the Tax Agency, “which has all the data, and can pay affected self-employed workers, companies and individuals in three days” without the need for them to request it.
President Carlos Mazón thanked Feijóo this Thursday for his support. “If your presence in Moncloa was necessary, now it is urgent for Valencians. And here is a humble president willing to resist the cruelest and least scrupulous government in the history of Spain, to recover Valencia. The task is enormous,” he stressed and then added that “I have not been involved in any political calculation, much less a personal one. “I am not into the partisan or personal strategy.”
Advertising to spread hoaxes
“I never thought that the Government of my country, the PSOE, would reach the level it has reached. As we stepped forward and shied away from confrontation, the hunt began. I confess that I was wrong,” Mazón assured, while denouncing that the PSOE has paid for advertising “to spread hoaxes against us.”
Mazón has “demanded” from the central Executive a series of measures for those affected. “I demand from here the elimination of all interest on any credit or guarantee that the Government of Spain puts in place. Total exemption from VAT on homes, cars, purchases of furniture, household goods or industrial and commercial machinery. And the elimination of the self-employed quota in 2025, because the insult of a two-month extension to pay is not worth it.” The regional leader has also demanded an extension of the IBI and IAE exemption, which is borne by the central government, so that it does not go against the accounts of the town councils. He has asked for Sareb homes for those rehoused and for the list of municipalities in the decree affected by the dana to be expanded by 28.
Mazón has thanked Feijóo for “his warmth, work, coordination and personal support” and has reviewed the resources mobilized by the Generalitat to help those affected by the flood and has maintained that his government has been the first “to appear to give explanations in the Valencian Cortes, the first and only one to make self-criticism and assume political responsibilities, and the one who has remodeled his Executive to adapt it to reality.”
