The GPCs deputy spokesperson demands a "National Health Plan that offers a unique response to the pandemic" and calls for "a plan of economic aid for the affected sectors"
"The state of alarm is an indisputable tool, but it has to be compatible with democratic health, that is why the president has the obligation to give explanations", The deputy spokesperson of the Citizens Parliamentary Group (GPCs), Edmundo Bal, has stated in a telematic press conference after the meeting of the Permanent Committee of the orange formation. "We believe that the state of alarm that the Government has decreed can be improved, so we will make proposals to make it more effective and provide better solutions," he added.
"We have been warning for weeks that the health situation was serious and that it was getting worse", Bal pointed out who recalled that, from Cs, "we have been demanding a National Shock Plan against the pandemic since June." For this reason, the liberal deputy has demanded, once again, from the Executive of Pedro Sánchez, "a National Health Plan with a coordinator who offers a single response to the pandemic and not 17 different ones."
Likewise, Bal has requested "a plan of economic aid for the sectors affected by the new declaration of the state of alarm." “We have done it before and now we will do it again. We will be by the side of the Government doing useful politics because that means being next to the Spaniards ”, he claimed.
Regarding the draft of the General State Budgets that the Government will present tomorrow, the also member of the Standing Committee of Cs has assured that the orange party "will try to provide constructive solutions so that they are moderate and pragmatic budgets, which provide solutions for the life and economy of the Spanish ”. "Having Citizens is a guarantee that Europe will look at them with good eyes", however, "it will not be like that if it chooses ERC or Bildu as partners, groups that do not believe in Spain or in Europe," said Bal.
