The PSOE believes that Feijóo is modulating his speech on taxes because he is already talking about "updating" the IRPF rate

They argue that the PP is reneging on its tax proposals after the fall of British Prime Minister Liz Truss

MADRID, 21 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The PSOE considers that the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, is modulating his position on fiscal matters and that he is already talking about "updating" the income tax rate while two months ago he advocated lowering taxes "intensely ", According to PSOE sources. Thus, they assure that the fall of the British Government, of a conservative nature, has forced the PP to "renege" on its fiscal proposals.

In this sense, they refer to the statements made by Feijóo this Friday in Barcelona, ​​where he once again asked the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, to return "the increase in taxes" to medium and low incomes that they have had to pay due to the inflation. "What is called the update of the income tax rate", has specified the leader of the PP.

The aforementioned sources highlight that Feijóo used the term "updating" while two months ago, that in the month of August he advocated lowering taxes "intensely" and for the time necessary so that the price of electricity "is not discriminatory in ordinary consumption tasks and in the industrial production of a country," he said.

Thus, they argue that the resignation of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Liz Truss "shows the failure of neoliberal recipes and forces the PP to renege on its fiscal proposals", as they have transferred.

They also point out that the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has changed her speech in the same direction and has gone from demanding a drastic reduction in taxes or maintaining that she has always defended that they be lowered "with caution".

In this way they refer to statements made on March 27 in which he assured that all the measures "that are not aimed at drastically lowering taxes are not going to work", according to what he indicated in statements to the media after a visit to the environment of the old dam of La Alberca.

Thus, they underline the contrast with the words pronounced by Ayuso this same Friday, October 21, 2022, when he claimed to make the tax cuts "with caution" as they have done in Madrid, "successively and gradually and not all at once".

Thus, it has affected that when they propose "aggressive descents" she says that "you have to go little by little". First they have to see "the effects" the following year of those that are applied and, after that, go "little by little doing it". "It is how in Madrid we have worked and today we have become the first economy", she has settled.

In addition, Ayuso rejected that the problem of the former British Prime Minister, Liz Truss, has been the tax cut but that this is accompanied by an increase in public spending. "This tax cut is also accompanied by an increase in public spending, which is what has made the accounts not balance well," she stressed.
