The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, is clear that the tax debate is the one that can bring the most revenue from now to the regional elections of 4-M. Hence, yesterday his pulse did not tremble when he promised the people of Madrid that he would lead a tax rebellion in the face of “any demand” that is imposed by the central government.
“We are going to do everything in our power not only not to raise taxes, as we have been defending, but to lower them and apply a historic reduction in personal income tax. It is something that I am personally committed to. We are going to continue defending our fiscal autonomy and our low tax policy to promote more employment and more recovery, “said the PP candidate for reelection during her visit to the Modern Art Hall in the capital.
The popular ones believe that the debate on taxation is the one that will give them the most income in these elections
Ayuso was convinced of the Government’s plans and predicted that the main affected will be “investments, businessmen and savers.” “Although now he says otherwise, the PSOE candidate, Ángel Gabilondo, has already agreed with Más Madrid the tax increase that the Government of Spain is now going to impose unilaterally,” he added.
In the opinion of the popular leader, the Government has made a series of “very serious” announcements of tax increases in the Community of Madrid. “Something that, without a doubt, scares away private initiative and capital that are key for us in our economy. I would like him to do the same and to give the same treatment to the rest of the autonomous communities ”, he was ugly.

With the promise of rebellion, Ayuso enters the melee with the Prime Minister and ironizes that “there will no longer be Sánchez in Moncloa” once the May 4 campaign began, since he has become “a candidate electoral
in the Community of Madrid ”.
The person in charge of countering the attack from the socialist ranks was Pedro Sánchez himself, who defended that his “plan to harmonize taxes such as patrimony, inheritance and donations, as requested by the EU, does not contradict Gabilondo’s promise not to raise taxes in Madrid. ”.
Asked about the involvement and prominence of Sánchez in his campaign, the socialist candidate took the issue away, assuring that it does not seem “nothing problematic”, but “rather positive.” And he took the opportunity to repeat that in his government program there is no tax increase because “in a pandemic situation no more efforts can be asked” of the people of Madrid.
But the fiscal confrontation is not only a matter of the PP and PSOE and it also focused the speeches on the respective parties that make up the left and right blocs. Ciudadanos guaranteed that he will not raise taxes, and his candidate, Edmundo Bal, promised to reduce the autonomic section of personal income tax for habitual residence.
Something similar to what was outlined by the Vox candidate, Rocío Monasterio, who proposes tax incentives to favor families.
A position diametrically opposed to that proposed by the More Madrid candidate, Mónica García, who has proposed to end the “tax gifts to those who have the most” so that Madrid ceases to be the community of Sponsor a millionaire ”.
While the candidate of United We Can, Pablo Iglesias, indirectly agreed with Ayuso by stating that, “if in
Madrid govern the left, their premise that income taxes are raised will be assumed
higher ”regardless of what Gabilondo is targeting in the campaign.
