Criticism of 20,000 Million Euro Proposal: Should Money Go to Vulnerable Families Instead?

He criticizes that the cost is 10,000 million, money that should go to vulnerable families: I don’t think a 22-year-old footballer needs it

MADRID, 3 (EUROPA PRESS)

The leader of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has assured that the proposal of Vice President Yolanda Díaz and Sumar candidate for the Presidency of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, to give 20,000 million to young people to undertake or train and He has criticized that this measure costs 10,000 million, money that, in his opinion, should be “put in vulnerable families” or in helping those whose mortgages have been raised by more than 300 euros.

What’s more, the head of the opposition has indicated that what Díaz is looking for is to “buy” the young vote before the general elections on July 23 because that vote “is changing places” and has censured that Sumar, when designing this measure, does not even distinguish by income level. “Now, a 22-year-old footballer, from the Real Madrid youth academy, I don’t think he needs 20,000 euros to emancipate himself,” he proclaimed in his speech at the forum of the newspaper La Razón.

This has been pronounced after this Sunday Yolanda Díaz proposed giving 20,000 euros to young people who turn 18 so that they can “undertake or train”. This Monday, the spokesman for the Sumar campaign, Ernest Urtasun, stressed that his proposal to display a ‘universal inheritance’, endowed with 20,000 euros for young people who turn 18, will not be retroactive and has responded to criticism from Vice President Nadia Calviño, that a Moncloa prospective document for the year 2050 was in favor of the deployment of this measure.

A “CORRECTED” PROPOSAL ONE DAY AFTER ITS ANNOUNCEMENT

In his speech, Feijóo stressed that “the joke” of 20,000 euros to those who turn 18 has “already been corrected by Mrs. Díaz’s campaign manager, who says no, that they are for those who turn 23” years old. “And then Mrs. Yolanda Díaz has come to correct it, which is for those who turn 23 but with retroactive effect when they are 18”, he ironized.

The head of the opposition has criticized the cost of this measure by Sumar. “This is worth 10,000 million. With 10,000 million, imagine how many problems we would solve for families with a mortgage, whose mortgage has risen a little more than 300 euros a month, and those families who charge 1,100, 1,200 euros, who had a mortgage of 300 and now they have 600, more than 50% of their income,” he emphasized.

In this sense, he has highlighted that it is in vulnerable families where they should put the money. As he has said, he does not believe that “a 22-year-old footballer from the Real Madrid youth system” needs that sum of money to emancipate himself.

BELIEVE YOUNG PEOPLE NEED VOCATIONAL TRAINING AND UNIVERSITIES

According to the president of the PP, what 18-year-olds “need is professional training, dual professional training and good universities” but giving them “20,000 euros as income independence is not reasonable.”

At this point, Feijóo has also criticized that the Government approved a few months ago a cultural bonus of 400 euros to all those who turned 18, and now the Sumar candidate announces this measure of 20,000 euros.

The head of the opposition has warned of the cost of this last measure because “there are not 10,000 million”, given that Spain has “an astronomical debt”. “How are we going to disburse 10,000 million euros for this measure? I understand that the young vote is changing places, but 10,000 million can’t buy that,” he said, adding that “you have to hide a bit” and ” be a little serious.”

SEE AN “OFFENSE TO INTELLIGENCE” TO SAY THAT SPAIN GOES “LIKE A MOTORCYCLE”

Likewise, Feijóo has charged again against the head of the Executive for saying that the Spanish economy “is going like a motorcycle” when it is “the Spanish economy is the economy that has worked the worst after the Czech Republic in the entire European Union in the last four years “.

“To say that this is going like a motorcycle is an offense against intelligence and it is also a recurring provocation,” he proclaimed, adding that Spain has recovered the GDP of 2019 a few weeks ago but is the “last country that has done so”.

In addition, he has pointed out that the Spanish have lost purchasing power and that Spain is the country in which the tax burden has increased the most since 2019. He has also highlighted that Spain is “the country that has twice the unemployment rate in the Union Europe, the first country in youth unemployment and the second with the highest female unemployment”, as well as the one with “the third largest public deficit in the Eurozone.

“To say that the economy is going like a motorcycle is to look at the indicators backwards,” he added, adding that this is “a bad joke.” In his opinion, if the Sánchez government does not accept the diagnosis, “it will never be able to solve his disease.” “But the diagnosis of the Spanish economy is that today we Spaniards are poorer than in 2019, they pay more taxes and we have more deficit and public debt,” he added.
