VOX Senator Jacobo González-Robatto today made a harsh criticism of the Government's abandonment of the tourism sector during the debate on theMotion urging the Government to present to the European Commission an economic reactivation plan to specifically support the tourism sector to alleviate the negative effects of the pandemic .
González-Robatto has denounced that the Executive "has only presented an Impulse Plan for the tourism sector that has meant another strong setback for tourism professionals." And he justified this sentence because the document "was created for a very optimistic situation, with a clear recovery from the opening of borders and it was supposed to be aimed at promoting competitiveness, sustainability and training of operators in general." "At the same time", he pointed out, "our European neighbors imposed quarantines on tourists who came to Spain and worried their citizens not to visit us." "Again, given the passivity of the Government," he lamented.
Instead, the GP VOX presented in the Government a National Recovery Plan and promotion of the tourism sector, that "they have presented, not VOX, but the workers of these sectors, that is to say, the true experts".
"The Government lives in its parallel world," González-Robatto has reproached, who explained that "in the real world, in that of workers and the self-employed, things are not going well." “To prove it, they only have to take a walk and see closed hotels, closed bars, closed businesses. And if they walk a little more, hunger queues, "he pointed out.
Job destruction
"Workers and the self-employed need security, support from the Government," claimed the senator, who has criticized that the Government "destroys jobs without shaking his pulse."
Along the same lines, he explained that "it is not the time to raise taxes", but to "lower them", even at the cost of closing "useless ministries and not placing friends as advisers, which, by the way, do not work for them either very good".
The senator has also criticized the Executive requesting unity "when you are responsible for this crisis that directly attacks the tourism sector."
To this Motion, VOX has presented an amendment in which it proposes a specific and concrete plan for each period of the tourist campaign affected by COVID -19 bridges, Christmas campaign, Easter and other holidays.
