ÚBEDA (JAEN), 22 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The Secretary General of the Socialists and President of the Government of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, has defended that the PSOE “manages the economy better” than the PP and is doing so “without false miracles” and without the help of “televreachers and “healers” Sánchez, who has intervened in Úbeda (Jaén) in some days of the PSOE on the rural world, has indicated that the PP when they governed in the financial crisis of 2008 “depressed the economy”, while the PSOE has shown that “it can be done expansive, transformational policies and also balancing the accounts”.
“It is true that Spain grows more than the European average, today we create employment as we have not created in the entire historical series of Social Security and that has nothing to do with healers or with televangelists, it has to do with the fact that the PSOE manages the economy better than the Spanish right”, said Sánchez in the courtyard of the Hospital de Santiago de Úbeda, surrounded by nearly a thousand people.
Sánchez pointed out that “thank goodness” that the Socialists have been “in charge of the institutions” to face the crisis, because “the economy is rising, inflation is contained more than in Europe and reforms such as pensions are being addressed” . “We are not going to say that Spain is doing well, nor are we going to talk about economic miracles, but it is true that today Spain is growing more than average, creating jobs like never before and that has nothing to do with healers or televangelists, it has to do with the PSOE manages the economy better”, said the president.
Sánchez has criticized the PP since while the Government provides solutions “they only see problems with each of the solutions.” “They call themselves constitutionalists but they break the constitution; they call themselves patriots but look how they speak badly of Spain abroad; they call themselves Europeanists but ignore the warnings from Brussels against their abuse of Doñana. This is the Spanish right: tell me what you brag about and I will I will say what you lack”, said the president.
He added that the economy needs “good management and not false miracles” and stressed that “the key is not to respond to the crises” caused by the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, “but to respond in a different way and take advantage of to make things better.”
For this reason, Sánchez has advocated working to achieve “strategic autonomy” since “the key to real politics is not only to respond in a different way, but also to think about what will come next.”
Pedro Sánchez stated that Europe has learned the lesson of the latest crises and the need to turn them into opportunities. “We have to reindustrialize ourselves. It is good to be powerful in tourism and hospitality, but it is essential to have more growth engines, it is essential to reindustrialize our country,” said Sánchez.
The general secretary of the socialists from Jaen thanked the socialist mayors who “have stood up and defended their neighbors” in these four years of difficulties. He has indicated that his management is “the best guarantee to even surpass the result of 2019 in the elections on May 28.”
Likewise, it has valued the 140,000 million euros of European funds that are going to be invested in the coming years in different axes, all based on “social cohesion, territorial cohesion, gender equality and ecological transition and digital transformation”.
The president has also highlighted other government measures, such as the revaluation of pensions, the rise in the minimum wage, the increase in scholarships, the approval of the Climate Change Law or the approval of the first Housing Law in history soon. democratic
LIVING PLACE
Also at a national level, he has addressed the issue of housing and has pointed out the need to allocate more public resources to housing, since Spain is the third country of the 27 in the European Union with the most empty flats and with only three percent of social housing. “I want Spain to reach 20 percent,” said Sánchez.
“We have gone from having budgets of 450 million in the construction of public housing to 3,500 million this year,” said Sánchez, who pointed out that 100,000 homes are being built, of which 60,000 are built or under construction, to added to the rehabilitation with European funds of another half million homes throughout the country”.
“My commitment is to build and finance through the ICO the new construction of 43,000 homes and to make available the 50,000 homes of Banco Malo”, pointed out Sánchez, while adding that it is “of social justice to return what we pay citizens, especially those who need it most, the young.
Sánchez has stated that while the PP “socializes the losses and privatizes the benefits as they did during the financial crisis and real estate boom”, the PSOE “is going to turn what is a problem into a right and housing” is going to be the fifth pillar of the Welfare State together with health, education, pensions and dependency and “the five pillars have the stamp of the PSOE”.
