Alegría assures that "a top leader" of a financial institution supports the new banking tax

MADRID, 25 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Minister of Education and Vocational Training and new spokesperson for the PSOE, Pilar Alegría, has revealed that "a few days ago" a "top leader" of a financial institution "clearly" defended the extraordinary tax measure that the Government plans to approve in the near future .

"I will not say the person, but a few days ago I was with one of the top leaders of a financial institution in this country and he clearly defended this tax. I was positively surprised by his analysis of redistributive power," he said in an interview collected by Europe Press to RNE the minister, who considers that this shows that not all the banking sector is against the measure.

Alegría recalled that it is a tax that is already underway in six EU countries and that it is a "redistribution at a difficult time where the middle and working classes are suffering." "The suffering of many cannot be transformed into benefits for a few", she lamented.

The socialist spokeswoman has indicated that it will be ready "in the near future" and that the CNMC will presumably be in charge of sanctioning in the event that the tax affects citizens. "The fundamental objective is that redistribution and to prevent this decision from harming the citizen," she pointed out.

On the other hand, in another interview on TVE, Alegría has defended the social and "redistributive" measures put in place by the Government with the aim of "defending the middle and working class", and has criticized the attitude of the PP, which He has warned that there is "a legislature for a while" and that "it is going to take forever."

"At the moment, with the complicated situation that exists, this Government thinks of social profitability, not electoral. It is time to propose measures and solutions thinking of the middle class and workers, the elections will come and when the PSOE is united we are unbeatable and We have shown it," he added.

Regarding the appointments, Alegría considers that this allows them to have "a more global vision" and that they can transfer "the party from the party", and denies that they are produced because of a crisis in the Government. In addition, he points out that it is "natural" that there may be divergences of opinion in a coalition government.
