The position of the PP on the anti-crisis decree, in the air
The PP has not yet revealed the meaning of its vote regarding the decree of measures that the Government of Pedro Sánchez approved last week to face the crisis due to the war in Iran. Although the package includes measures proposed by the PP, such as the reduction to 10% of fuel taxes and despite the fact that, ironically, the popular people have welcomed the Government “to the fachosphere” for “copying” their measures, Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s party leaves its position up in the air.
On Tuesday, the PP spokesperson in Congress, Ester Muñoz, celebrated that the Government assumed the tax cuts proposed by the PP, but asked to assess the convenience of making some of them permanent and going further including, among others, the deflation of personal income tax. Feijóo also demanded that the vote be postponed to April to include these measures demanded by the popular people.
In Moncloa they consider that they already have enough votes to validate it and that is why they immediately take it to the Lower House, less than a week after approving it in the Council of Ministers, although Sánchez will predictably once again ask Feijóo for responsibility in the face of a crisis that, as he has been warning, will have consequences in the pockets of the Spanish people.
