The deputy of VOX in the General Meeting, Sara Álvarez Rouco, has insisted today in the plenary session that "Asturias is sinking while the socialist government makes the same mistakes", while alerting the regional government that "with the recipes that apply to Asturias, leading Asturians to the most absolute of the ruins, will be the liquidator who lowers the blind to our region ”.
In his speech, Álvarez Rouco has addressed the Minister of Finance, Ana Cárcaba, to whom he has transferred the VOX model to “rescue” Asturias. “Reduce taxes, contain expenses, increase disposable income for families, stimulate consumption, discourage tax fraud by these reductions, thus increase the attractiveness for investment and economic growth, increasing the base of taxpayers and raising more, that would go to investment. That is the blow on the table essential for Asturias, "he said and," not his model, "he continued," because no matter how much taxes go up there will be no one left to pay them in our region. "
In this regard, said the deputy, "while the expenses that detract from productive investment rise, the population ages, the birth rate is low and the employment rate is unfortunate, so our prepared young people leave Asturias, the socialist government continues to fill the mouth of social government when from VOX we call them reckless government, a government that goes to economic suicide because, if it does not reverse the vicious circle and make it virtuous, Asturias sinks and then, nobody will pay taxes. ”
Also, Álvarez Rouco, took advantage of his intervention to indicate with figures the real situation of Asturias that, for example, “registers 1,600 unemployed more than last year, has an activity rate, according to data from the third quarter of 2019, of 50.7 %, and is also the lowest in the historical series and the community with the greatest decrease compared to 2018, the public debt amounts to 4,351 million euros, representing 18.6% of its GDP, housing sales and enrollments fall ”.
