MADRID, 24 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has proposed this Monday a package of measures to give “certainties” to young people, such as expanding the flat rate for freelancers to those under 35 years of age, giving them more facilities to found companies without bureaucratic procedures or discount 100% of the company Social Security contribution during the contract. That said, he has accused the Government of Pedro Sánchez of wanting to control young people with “banners” and “checks”, alluding to the 400-euro cultural bonus upon turning 18.
“Freedom is not bought or subsidized but is acquired through training and knowledge”, Feijóo proclaimed at the opening of the second sectoral convention of the PP focused on young people under the title ‘Youth a life project’ which has been held at the Casa del Reloj Cultural Center in Madrid, in which the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has also participated.
Feijóo has criticized that the left is “arrogating the flag of youth”, as if “it only voted for one party”. “The left considers that young people are their electoral fishing ground and it belongs to them, that they do not have the capacity to direct, decide or make any decision,” he asserted.
At this point, he has criticized the fact that the left tries to “control” young people with “direct checks” and with “banners” when the most important thing is “their freedom” to “think, disagree and vote against the political establishment.” “Do not resign yourselves”, he has told the young people, to ensure that “they should not follow the dictates of a Government that leaves them mortgaged”.
Later, he announced a battery of measures proposed by the PP such as extending the flat rate for self-employment up to 35 years of age, continuing to encourage the hiring of people under 35 in their first jobs in income tax; facilitate the creation of first companies without paperwork; discount 100% of the Social Security fee during the term of the contract; or support with tax deductions to companies that host student interns.
Likewise, the head of the opposition has opted for a national conciliation plan, which includes, among other measures, a commitment to flexible hours, teleworking or the financing of nursery schools.
