The PSOE presents a motion in all municipalities to increase spending against poverty and portray the PP

Ferraz considers that for the 'popular' the lives of the million and a half IMV beneficiaries are "insignificant"

MADRID, 17 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The PSOE is going to present a motion this Monday in all the regional councils and parliaments of the country so that the different administrations increase spending on measures against poverty that serve as a complement" to the Government's policies. In this way the socialists try to portray to the PP whom they accuse of opposing all the measures that support people with less income.

The PSOE seeks with this motion that the regional councils and parliaments commit to increase spending to expand services such as "children's kitchens" and aid "against energy poverty", as well as adherence to the Alianza País Pobreza Cero.

"If we want to end poverty, we must unite all possible efforts, the State, the Communities, the City Councils, all of us are obliged to give a response so that more and more people come out of social exclusion," said the Secretary for Social Policies , Seniors and Social Movements, Beatriz Carrillo.

In addition, he has indicated that the PP "only likes to criticize any measure that supports the people who have the least, whether it is the creation of the Minimum Vital Income or the increase in the Minimum Interprofessional Salary," adds Carrillo.

Along the same lines, he has asked the 'popular' to explain how they want to end poverty "if what he does is eliminate taxes on the rich", which in his opinion causes "the poor to be poorer, by cutting social spending , as Rajoy did or is doing Ayuso", he pointed out in reference to the former Prime Minister and the current President of the Community of Madrid.

With the presentation of this motion, the PSOE continues its strategy of taking proposals promoted by the Central Government to all points in Spain and thus forcing the PP to position itself with its vote. A month ago the party's national leadership announced another initiative to present motions in support of banking and energy taxes as opposed to the "social hell" promulgated by the PP, according to the PSOE Municipal Policy Secretary, Alfonso Rodríguez. Gomez de Celis.

In this regard, the Secretary for the Toledo Pact and Social Inclusion of the Federal Executive, Iván Fernández, stressed on Monday that the Government has allocated more than 266,000 million euros for social spending, "the largest figure in history", as he has stated.

On the contrary, he has accused the PP of being installed in "everything wrong" and therefore considers that for those of Alberto Núñez Feijóo "the lives of 800,000 adults and 600,000 children, the beneficiaries of the Minimum Vital Income, are insignificant", he has launched .

Finally, he has assured that without the policies promoted by the PSOE, the economic and social crisis caused by the pandemic and the war in Ukraine would have placed Spain at "catastrophic" levels of poverty.
