Pedro Sánchez has announced in Alicante that his executive will approve an investment of 560 million euros next Tuesday to reinforce the training of children in Primary and Secondary in the public system. Money that will have, as its main objective, “that 5.5 million young people learn the language of machines, that they master robotics and programming.”
In addition, the President of the Government added that this money will also be allocated to support and reinforcement activities against school dropout for the most vulnerable in more than 3,000 educational centers, to help more than half a million buy books and school supplies of students and, he added, to “help students with disabilities overcome any barriers”. “The stronger the PSOE is, the stronger are the pillars of the Welfare State,” Pedro Sánchez added at the rally he is holding in Alicante.
In his speech, he defended that, despite the pandemic and the war, his government “has consolidated the pillars of the Well-being society” and has underlined the impulse that has been given “to social dialogue”. He has given the example of the pre-agreement between the employers and the unions to increase wages in the coming years. “Why is there more social peace in Spain than in most of the EU countries?”, they have asked. “Because there is social dialogue, because this government has recovered it, with the labor reform, with the commitment of workers and businessmen.”
He has valued that agreements such as the one indicated “are a consequence of the will of the social agents but also of politics, of public institutions.” And he recalled that “every month there is good employment data and bad news for the right, the Valencian Community is a good example.” In the middle of the war and after a pandemic “we are at levels that we have never seen in the incorporation into Social Security, with a left-wing government. With the PP the Generalitat Valenciana was synonymous with corruption and with Ximo Puig it is synonymous with exemplary character and good management”.
Despite the advances in the reforms, Pedro Sánchez has indicated that “we are not going to say that Spain is doing well”. “There are problems, there is inequality, there is poverty, and we are going to rest until those ills are resolved.” But he has warned that “we are growing more than any European economy, we have one of the lowest inflation rates in Europe, and this has nothing to do with televangelists or healers, but with good management, which is what the PSOE does when it governs” .
“We have shown that it is possible to grow in employment and wealth, that we can revalue pensions and balance Social Security accounts and we can reach agreements to update the Toledo pact.” He has pointed this out before concluding that “that is why Spain is advancing and the right of the PP and the extreme right of Vox are raging.” “They say it’s impossible, don’t be fooled, they say it as an excuse to advance their privatizations and cuts where they govern. Unlike them when they governed, we do not identify the reforms with cuts that generate inequality, but with reforms that generate dignity”.
At the rally, he was convinced that his party “is going to win in Alicante, in the Valencian Community and in all of Spain, we will be the first political force as in 2019. Our management is our best guarantee.”
