Discrediting False Promises
In a political context marked by rhetoric and promises, the PP candidate for the parliamentary elections, Alejandro Fernández, has expressed his critical view on the funding debate in Catalonia.
Fernández, in a forceful way, has pointed out that those who promise to defend the economic concert for Catalonia are throwing falsehoods to the wind.
At an informative breakfast at Forum Europe, the stage where he spoke, Fernández emphasized the infeasibility of negotiating a new financing model while the pro-independence process continues.
Conditions for the Dialogue
Fernández has emphasized that in order to reach a financing agreement, a climate of trust is necessary, a condition that is not currently being met.
He added that only in a scenario without tensions and with the support of all the autonomous communities could a review of the financing system be considered.
Alternative proposals
Looking beyond the criticism, Fernández has presented some concrete proposals in the event of governing after the elections.
This includes the reduction of personal income tax, the elimination of inheritance tax with immediate effect and other measures aimed at boosting the economy and easing the tax burden.
The Path to a Strong and Stable Catalonia
Fernández has painted a picture of the future where his party plays a decisive role in Catalan politics, offering an alternative to the current options.
In his view, the path to a strong Catalonia involves leaving division and extremism behind, promoting a constructive and pragmatic dialogue.
Criticisms and Concerns
In addition to economic issues, Fernández has also expressed concerns about other areas such as education, housing and drought management.
He has criticized what he considers a ‘culture of no’, calling to abandon extremism and approach problems pragmatically and responsibly.
In short, his position represents a commitment to a change of course in Catalan politics, leaving aside divisive rhetoric and looking for real and sustainable solutions.
