He assures that the CPI data confirms “what the Spanish already knew because they suffer from it every day”
MADRID, 10 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The leader of the PP, Alberto Nuñez Feijóo, has harshly charged this Friday against the chief executive, Pedro Sánchez, for the “shooting” inflation and has stated that it is “unjustifiable” that the Government is not taking measures “to help citizens “.
This has been pronounced after it was known that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.8% in May in relation to the previous month and increased its interannual rate four tenths, to 8.7%, due to the higher prices for gasoline, restaurants and food.
The latter marked their largest increase since January 1994, with a year-on-year rise of 11%, according to data published this Friday by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), which confirms those advanced at the end of last month.
The president of the Popular Party has stated that the data confirms “what the Spanish already knew because they suffer from it every day: inflation continues to skyrocket, while the Government collects more than ever.”
“It is unjustifiable that measures are not taken to help citizens,” Feijóo assured, in a message on his official Twitter account, which has been collected by Europa Press, which accompanies several headlines collected in the press about this rise in inflation.
Last Tuesday, in the plenary session of the Senate, Feijóo already snapped at Sánchez that “if he went out into the street, he would realize the number of families he offends with his triumphalist tone.” In addition, he stressed that since he announced the anti-crisis measures, the shopping basket has risen 10% and fuel “has eaten” the savings that he promised.
For all these reasons, the leader of the PP once again demanded that the Prime Minister “rectify” his economic policy and accept proposals from his party included in the economic plan that he sent Moncloa a month and a half ago, which includes tax cuts, reduction of bureaucratic expense and streamlining of European funds.
