Greenpeace activists interrupt his speech during the ‘tories’ conference
MADRID, 5 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
British Prime Minister Liz Truss, who has been in the spotlight since announcing her economic policies, defended this Wednesday the idea of ??lowering taxes to deal with the economic crisis and insisted that her economic priorities are summarized In one word: “growth”.
During her long-awaited speech in the framework of the Conservative Party conference in the city of Birmingham, the British ‘premier’ stressed that “lowering taxes is good on a moral and economic level” although she admitted that “when there are changes, there are problems ” given that “not everyone thinks the same”.
Thus, he stressed that “he believes in fiscal responsibility” and has expressed the need to “give value to the taxpayer” in an event that has been interrupted by the appearance of two activists from the Greenpeace organization, who have protested against environmental policies of the government.
The activists, who have criticized the actions of the Executive regarding the practice of ‘fracking’, have carried a banner that read “who voted for this?”, although they have been quickly expelled from the event between boos, according to information from the newspaper ‘ TheGuardian’.
Truss, for his part, has continued with his speech and has advocated “reducing the debt” and promoting economic reform. “I like business. I like people who take responsibility, who undertake. I want to see more of that,” he added.
In addition, he recalled that the country is going through a “crucial” moment, “stormy” days in which “the loss of Queen Elizabeth II, the cornerstone on which the modern United Kingdom was built, is mourned.”
“Faced with these difficult times, we must get up,” he asserted before stating that the population “knows how to spend their money.” “This is what conservatism is about; it is faith in freedom, justice and the potential of the British people,” she said.
In this sense, Truss has indicated that when he arrived at Downing Street he felt that “it was not an option to stay without doing anything”. “Families may not be able to heat their homes. Businesses and jobs may be lost,” she continued.
On the issue of Brexit, he has promised to keep his promises and has clarified that by the end of the year the matter “will become history”. “Brexit will allow the UK to do things differently,” she said.
In turn, Truss highlighted that the country is “increasing its energy security by being more independent from authoritarian regimes”, a clear reference to Russia in full invasion of Ukraine, and pointed out that, in terms of migration, the new Minister of the Interior, Suella Braverman, is “brilliant”.
According to a YouGov poll, Truss has lower approval ratings than former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and former Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn at their worst.
The situation has led the Conservatives to consider replacing her in office if her poll results do not improve. On Tuesday, former Transport Minister Grant Shapps said she has about 10 days to “achieve a 180-degree turn.”
