The economic vice president, Nadia Calviño , has expressed her opposition to extending the suspension of mortgage payments provided for in the government's plan against the crisis to rents, as requested by Podemos. In statements in Antena 3, the minister has affirmed that the package of measures taken so far by the government can be expanded, but it has been cold with adding a moratorium on rents. "We have focused on maintaining income. It is different from mortgage loans, on the other side there is no bank, there is another citizen and the measures that affect one part may affect the other, therefore it is necessary to reflect on measures with a beneficial effect on one side, but negative on the other. "

Regarding the protests by the group of self-employed, Calviño assures that she is "surprised": "If there is a group for which we have put a battery of measures on the table, it is the self-employed."

The minister has been cautious about when there will be recovery or not after the coronavirus crisis. "It all depends on the decisions that are made and what happens around us," she said when asked if there will be a movement "in vee", with rapid rebound, or in "ele" with stagnation in the fall and Recovery.

"It is important that we all act in a coordinated manner," he stressed after praising the decision of the European Central Bank on Wednesday night. He said that European governments must also act and called on banks and companies: "Financial institutions must continue to lend to companies and companies must behave responsibly and minimize job losses." "Ultimately we all have to respond" and has included citizens by respecting the instructions of the health authorities. "We are going to try to push for a European response on the fiscal front," he stressed, alluding to asking EU partners for forceful action in favor of recovery.

The vice president has confessed that on Wednesday "it was tremendously tense" with the Spanish risk premium and assured that the ECB's 750,000 million emergency plan "will reassure the markets."

And he did not want to comment on the final economic impact of the coronavirus. "You have to be extremely cautious with the estimates," he said, noting that those who are now catastrophists a few weeks ago were "quite benign."

Regarding the coronavirus test, the vice president has hinted that it is applied frequently and successfully. " I have had to do it twice, I have not had much concern for my health, but for infecting others" and he has made "an appeal to responsibility." Calviño participated in the March 8 demonstration on International Women's Day and was flanked by two infected women, the wife of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Territorial Policy, Carolina Darias. The vice president has stated that "isolation works".
