SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, July 6 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The general secretary of the Canary Islands Coalition (CC) and candidate for the inauguration as president of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, has guaranteed this Thursday that there will be a reduction in taxes in the Canary Islands while regretting that the opposition does not give them the usual 100 days of grace at the beginning of a new Legislature.
“They give us less forty,” he told journalists after meeting with the Asinca board of directors together with the candidate for Congress, Cristina Valido, and in reference to the fact that the investiture debate or the inauguration has not yet taken place.
He has said that “it is not risky” to lower taxes in the archipelago because it is only about “taking the pressure off” Canarian families of the “excess collection” that public administrations have due to inflation.
Along these lines, he has commented that it cannot be that public administrations “benefit” from an increase in collection while citizens “have fewer resources and disposable income” and he understands that the tax system is “to adapt and make it sustainable” so that families and the self-employed have a “breather”.
Clavijo has pointed out that during the four years of his Government between 2015 and 2019 they lowered taxes “every year” and always looking for the sectors and groups that benefited the most, such as the zero IGIC in electric cars, the pink rate or the bonuses to improve efficiency energy in homes.
However, he has said that the criticism of the opposition is “electoral”, as well as the rejection of the future government having 12 ministries, something that in his opinion “responds more to a tantrum”.
In fact, it has indicated that the creation of the Ministry of Universities is a demand from the educational subsector and, furthermore, the PSOE had signed it in its previous pact, although it was not carried out.
Clavijo has pointed out that they are “fulfilling” all their commitments and has assured that they will be “happy” to explain all the decisions that have been set in the pact, and have been “agreed upon and worked on” with the four signatory forces in the pact.
