Rueda defends his management and promises to lower more taxes in the face of an opposition that questions his data

Pontón undertakes to demand from Sánchez "the rescue and gratuity" of the AP-9 and clashes with Rueda, who questions his ability to comply

Taxation, Alcoa, energy policy, unemployment and emigration, in addition to the management of the AP-9, have been some of the issues that have focused on an economic block of the TVG debate in which the president of the Xunta and PPdeG candidate for re-election, Alfonso Rueda, has focused on defending the management of a Galicia that "works", while his rivals have questioned his data and model.

Ana Pontón (BNG), José Ramón Gómez Besteiro (PSdeG), Marta Lois (Sumar) and Isabel Faraldo (Vamos) have unanimously questioned the management model of the PPdeG in the Xunta and have introduced different topics in a block that Rueda started with an announcement: if he remains in San Caetano, he will expand the Inheritance Tax bonus for "collateral" relatives, those who inherit from brothers, uncles, nephews, fathers-in-law and brothers-in-law, among other relatives.

Pontón, critical of the popular party's fiscal policy, has responded to Rueda with data on unemployment and emigration. "If Galicia works, why are we losing thousands of jobs in industry or employment," he stated, before promising to preside over a Government that "will not be satisfied with misleading data", as well as promoting a plan to promote technology and innovation, and a pact for science and innovation. "We do not want to compete with low salaries, but rather to attract talent," she stated.

Sumar's candidate has been critical of the popular tax policy, while Rueda has reaffirmed that it seems "very serious and dangerous" to eliminate the Inheritance Tax bonuses, assuring that Sumar has promised it. At the same time, he has brought out one of the popular ideas' strength since the pre-campaign: the forgiveness of the debt to Catalonia.

"Each Galician will have to pay 400 euros to comply with this pact," he stressed, to be later responded to by Besteiro, who stated that he wants Galicia to have its debt forgiven just like Catalonia, and has urged Rueda to clarify whether will accept whether the community benefits from this measure or not.

In the section criticizing the Government, the leader of the PPdeG has criticized the management of the Next Generation funds, accusing the Ministry of having "put them in a drawer." "It seems that you are not the one who governs Galicia," Pontón snapped, interrupting him.

Furthermore, in addition to proposing a reform of Sogama, Lois has vindicated the measures carried out by the leader of her party, Yolanda Díaz, at the head of the Ministry of Labor; while the socialist José Ramón Gómez Besteiro has also highlighted steps taken by the Executive headed by Pedro Sánchez.

For example, the socialist leader recalled that this Tuesday the increase in the interprofessional minimum wage will be approved. He has also warned Rueda that it is necessary to "manage better" and has displeased him that the popular ones always hide behind "blaming others."

Pontón, who has directly confronted Rueda on several occasions and even offered to sit down with the Galician president tomorrow to compare the economic figures - "set a place and time," he challenged - has introduced into the debate the transfer of the AP-9.

In fact, she has stated that, if she is president, her first claim to Sánchez will be "the rescue and free access to the AP-9." Rueda has questioned her ability to fulfill her commitments, while the nationalist, once again, has confronted her and said: "Up to 75% reduction in tolls, what have you achieved? ?"

In a subsequent block, Besteiro stated that with him "free access" to the AP-9 and AP-53 will be guaranteed, while he claimed that with the central government "we must dialogue."

ALCOA AND ENERGY POLICY

For her part, Isabel Faraldo has focused on the situation of Alcoa, in San Cibrao, in Cervo (Lugo), and has addressed both Rueda and Besteiro to seek a commitment before the cameras aimed at "doing everything possible to save" the factory. In this regard, she has defended that "there is only one solution: public intervention."

In terms of energy policy, the Podemos candidate has promised the promotion of a large public energy company, as well as a bonus card that is valid for various means of transport such as trains, buses and taxis.

Also Ana Pontón, who promised to "end the revolving doors" - she has cited as an example the case of former councilor Beatriz Mato and her move to Greenalia - has stated that if she governs "she will remove the chair that the electric companies have in the Xunta Council". "Wind energy yes, but not like this. It must be put at the service of society," she concluded.
