The Vice President of the Government and leader of Unidas Podemos is determined to apply a sensible tax increase to high incomes. "To those who have the most", to "great fortunes". And he is sure that these taxpayers are willing to make a greater effort for "fiscal patriotism" .

"Today it is a social consensus that instruments such as a reconstruction rate are necessary that allow the great fortunes, who are desiring it, to exercise their solidarity with Spain , contributing resources directly to the public coffers," Iglesias said during his appearance in the Senate. .

And insisted.. "If we go down more taxes on those who have more we will have a health and worse education Everyone should agree to have a tax system to prepare Spain for any eventuality as the Covid That great fortunes pay their corresponding taxes . "

In this way, Iglesias has defended the creation of that reconstruction rate or the highest income tax that Podemos wants to implement as a substitute for the Heritage tax.
