Fúnez (PP) says that engaging in talks with Junts "is not on the table" because Feijóo "is not Pedro Sánchez"

ZARAGOZA, 11 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The deputy secretary for Social Policies and the Demographic Challenge of the PP, Carmen Fúnez, has stated that engaging in conversations with Junts in view of the investiture as president of Spain of the 'popular' Alberto Núñez Feijóo "is an issue that is not on the table right now."

"What we are very clear about is that Feijóo is a president of principles, he is not Pedro Sánchez and therefore he will never disappoint, neither the constitutional principles, nor his constituents", he has wielded.

Fúnez made this statement in statements to the media, before participating in the inauguration ceremony of the 'popular' Jorge Azcón as president of Aragon, at the Aljafería Palace in Zaragoza.

The deputy secretary for Social Policies and Demographic Challenge of the PP has indicated that her party is "very clear" that the Congress of Deputies "has to have stability", which is provided by "the party that wins the elections", which has been the PP .

He has gone on to point out that his formation is working in this line, to "seek the stability of the Congress of Deputies and of Spain", taking into account that they have won the elections, which separate them from 50 deputies from the second party, the PSOE, " that he has been the loser", despite the fact that he has not yet "acknowledged that he has lost the elections and that the PP has won them".

For his part, the president of the Catalan PP, Alejandro Fernández, who has also attended the inauguration of Azcón, has commented, when asked by the media about Junts, that this party "is outside the Constitution", like Carles Puigdemont, who, moreover, "is a fugitive from Justice and, consequently, is out of any type of negotiation." "That is my position and I have maintained it firmly since minute one", he has sentenced.

In another order of things, Fúnez has spoken out for the rise in the CPI in July, 0.2% in relation to the previous month and four tenths of an increase in the interannual rate, up to 2.3%, when asked about this question.

As he has said, these data "show that the Government of Pedro Sánchez did not listen to the PP for months", nor to its president, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who defended the lowering of VAT on food, meat, fish and preserves, "those of greatest need of the Spaniards".

The 'popular' leader has argued that since the polls "have voted mostly for the PP" in the general elections on July 23 "they opted for that VAT drop" defended by her party because families "are having a hard time and need tax cuts."

Fúnez has assured that if Feijóo is president of Spain "it will be one of the first measures that he implements", with the drop in VAT for those foods that he has mentioned and also in personal income tax because Spanish families "cannot continue to be burdened by those taxes so high that the PSOE has launched and that they are penalizing the economy, not of large companies, but fundamentally of Spanish families".
