Ximo Puig, president of the Generalitat Valenciana, has rejected ending the Will tax this Tuesday, advocating for a “certain” harmonization of displaceable taxes to avoid fiscal dumping. This was revealed in an interview in TVE, convened by Europa Press, regarding the announcement of Juanma Moreno, head of the Government of Andalusia, to abolish the wealth tax and introduce a new reduction in the personal income tax. In short, this is the path that the PP, led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, began to follow. A tax cut policy in which Carlos Mazón, the leader of the popular in the Valencian Community, is positioned as an outstanding student. In fact, the tax reform he promised to implement if he won the Palau de la Generalitat in 2023 has become the mainstay of his economic discourse.
“In a time of crisis like this, financial disarmament is not the right path.” This is the position that the president of Consell strongly advocates. Puig also suggested that he would soon introduce tax reform, although he has made it clear that he will not go the way of the popular. The leader of the Autonomous Executive underlined the “need” at the national level to carry out a “deep” fiscal reform that “takes into account what the Constitution says” and is “progressive”. In other words, it focuses on people with fewer resources, but does not lower taxes on higher incomes.
In an “extraordinary” moment like the present, Puig stressed that we “must be aware” to help the popular classes “get through this winter and not leave anyone out”.
Know who has lowered taxes
“When we talk about lowering taxes, the point is to do it scrupulously and then, knowing whose taxes have been loweredWhile Puig stated that he wanted to act with “maximum liability” because of the benefits and harms caused by the reduction of taxes.
Likewise, the socialist leader valued that the Community of Valencia take other measures to “support the social majority” through a fiscal policy “as fair as possible”.
In particular, he referred to the measure implemented this year, in which all two-year-olds in the Valencia region have free education, or that textbooks are free, which has increased by 67 percent in other communities.
Puig’s speech against financial dumping triggered loud clashes with some of the PP’s main strongholds, such as the head of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
Meanwhile, Feijóo recalled this Tuesday that the PSOE led by José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero is in the case of the Wealth Tax, while urging him not to “demagogy” with fiscal policy and to respect the autonomy and powers that regional governments have. , then eliminated at the state level to recover from the crisis.
