The general secretary of the PP calls the Canarian proposal to make the spending rule and the use of the surplus more flexible
SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, January 19. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The general secretary of the Popular Party (PP), Cuca Gamarra, has described as “disappointing” this Friday the support of the Canarian Coalition (CC) for the latest decree laws of the Government, which even surprised them and not “favorably”, but she has guaranteed that the popular people will comply with the Government pact in the Canary Islands.
In statements to journalists before participating in a steering committee of the PP on the islands, he regretted the agreement between the nationalists and the PSOE when it was going to “break solidarity” on immigration when the Government handed over powers to Catalonia under to an agreement with Junts.
However, he has highlighted the “good health” of the pact on the islands and has stressed that the important thing is that “the Government works, is doing things well and is making the Canaries have a better quality of life.”
Along these lines, he has insisted on the “responsibility” of his training and that the “only” interest is to “serve the Canaries” to try to solve their problems and improve living conditions.
Within this search for solutions, he has described as “sensible” the proposal of the Government of the Canary Islands to modify the budget stability law and make the spending rule more flexible so that the autonomous communities that comply with the debt can allocate the surplus to public services – in the case of the Canary Islands the amount amounts to 293 million -.
Gamarra understands that an autonomous community “with its homework done” and “compliance with the rules” must be able to “reinvest everything it can” in improving the “day-to-day life” of its citizens, which is why he hopes that the Government of Spain allows it and “does not put any brakes on the wheel” even though it is the first to fail to comply.
Along these lines, he has pointed out that “work well done” must have a “reward” and not live in a country “where those who do good work do have a reward, but those who do things well are punished in the end.”
For this reason, he said that the PP “views this initiative favorably” and has encouraged the Government of the Canary Islands to raise it within the Fiscal and Financial Policy Council because “it must be seen from a common and not bilateral approach, this is the key”.
