MADRID, 21 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Secretary General of Podemos and Minister of Social Rights, Ione Belarra, has affirmed that the Government’s agreement to lower the VAT on electricity from 21 to 10% is an “immediate” and “necessary” step to alleviate the bill.
However, and as he has transmitted on social networks, it is “urgent also to end the electricity oligopoly.” “We will only achieve this with the creation of a public energy company,” he has revealed in his comment on networks after learning that the Council of Ministers will address this tax modification this Thursday.
Previously, the spokesperson for United We Can in Congress, Pablo Echenique, described the lowering of the VAT on the price of electricity as “great news” and that it will imply an “immediate” reduction in the bill that was reaching “unacceptable levels at this time.” “.
In addition, he has pointed out that they are trying to improve some aspects of the measure to be even “more effective”, such as making the reduction from 21 to 10% of VAT “permanent” and not during certain periods of time.
