The general secretary and spokesperson for the Popular Party in Congress, Cuca Gamarra, replied this Monday to the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, that “paternity or maternity” of the mortgage guarantee for the first home for young people is his, and encouraged him to continue with the “cut and paste†to go “in the right directionâ€.
In an interview on TVE, Gamarra spoke in these terms after yesterday Sánchez advanced that this Tuesday a 20% ICO guarantee will be approved for the purchase of the first home for young people up to 35 years of age with incomes of less than 37,800 euros per year and families with dependent minors.
Gamarra, who pointed to the “credibility deficit” that Sánchez has in this matter, stressed that this “is not a new measure” because the leader of his party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, “proposed it a few weeks ago” and “the PP He has put it into practice†in the autonomous communities where he governs.
“We encourage you to continue implementing those PP policies because they are positive and give results,” Gamarra stressed, insisting once again on “the five-year credibility deficit” of a president who “has done nothing and only now, when the elections and has a rather deficient results sheet, he begins to propose measures â€.
Therefore, if the measures that he puts on the table “are a cut and paste of those that the PP proposes”, Gamarra said that “obviously” Sánchez is going “in the right direction” in this case. “The paternity or maternity of the measure is not in the PSOE or in Sánchez; It is in the PP and Feijóo â€, he reiterated.
Although Sánchez “arrives quite late”, Gamarra delved into the fact that this is the “correct path” and that is how he defends himself in the autonomous communities of Madrid, Andalusia, Castilla y León or Galicia, where “this measure is already underway” to endorse the mortgages to young people for the acquisition of their first home.
“The spirit of the measure is exactly the same,” said Gamarra, although he qualified that the government budget cannot be bought from that of a Housing Department. “Welcome to endorse and, from now on, we have to see if we can endorse more,” he told Sánchez, showing the PP’s willingness to support him.
In addition, Gamarra showed the satisfaction of the PP after the agreement between employers and unions for a salary increase. He applauded the dialogue between the “highest protagonists” of the economic fabric, since “this is the way” and not “this frontal attack on businessmen” from the Government itself.
Feijóo’s ‘number two’ in Genoa considered that the Executive would also have to be in the income agreement and ask what it can do to alleviate the effect of inflation. Specifically, he again demanded to deflate personal income tax or lower VAT on products such as meat, fish or preserves. It is an “effort that is missing and corresponds to the Government”, he sentenced.
