The head of the Generalitat gave starting weapon at the beginning of the political course He concluded with a conference at the New Economic Forum (continuing face-to-face breakfasts after the pandemic), with a message to political actors: “Now is not the time to think about polls. Now is the time to think about refrigerators”.
That is, if any political movement or proposal made now can stand out from the next election, which will be held in nine months. And Ximo Puig’s conference was not lacking in these. most significant, A tax inspection in the Valencia region. He didn’t specify. He said the Treasury is working on it, this will be discussed at the next Consell seminar (this weekend), but it’s about adjusting efforts to address inflation. He said this is the top priority of his Government at the moment. However, Valencia admitted that the tax action was “very limited”.
The aim of this reform would be to “help the middle and working classes, further protect the vulnerable population and promote job creation”.
In this context, he insisted on the idea of a municipal alliance against inflation and announced this in the coming weeks. will call the mayors to the municipal conference against inflation.
The rise in prices is linked to the energy crisis, the other axis of the conference. Puig defended the commitment to renewable energy and criticized any commitment to nuclear power. Consell’s chairman influenced the Valencia Pact line for energy transformation. “It’s an opportunity to protect the planet, to restart the economy,” he said. It’s a statement that has been under its influence for months since the war brought the energy crisis. In this sense, he insisted on the need to encourage the installation of these clean energies, which are creating friction within the governing coalition.
Since 2015, Puig has acted within the framework of his activity (that of Botany): social advances, but without tension with the business world. Therefore, he also advocated increasing wages and the inter-professional minimum wage through social dialogue, an agreement with employers. A lease is an ambitious solution.
The president and leader of PSPV also said he wanted to underline the position of the Community of Valencia in terms of employment and social protection, which is far from what it was before 2015. Thus, while the cost of back-to-school has increased a lot due to the purchase of books, C. Valenciana pointed out that this is not due to free textbooks in public education. He also highlighted that if employment was destroyed earlier, more than 300,000 were created during this period of Botànic. C. Valenciana “is autonomy where inequality grows the least. That is, where social cohesion resists best”.
What is not discussed at a conference is also important. What’s left. Puig didn’t mention the tourist tax. Nor, although regional funding has highlighted the increase in extra funds and opportunities received from the Government in recent years.
During the question, Puig expressed hope that former Vice President Mónica Oltra would be “dismissed”. She described him as a “valid” person.
