It's not just another dispute.

And less after both formations have reached a government agreement in Castilla y León.

But the discrepancies between the parties in the parliamentary sphere continue to be a constant.

Thus, from the ranks of Vox, they denounce that the PP rejected one of their proposals to demand tax reductions from the government on energy to later take them as their own in the Senate

As explained by the formation of Santiago Abascal, the 'popular' refused to support Abascal's formation to lower VAT on energy, personal income tax and now they include it in a motion.

The VOX spokesman in the Senate, Jacobo González-Robatto, shows his powerful discomfort at the multitude of refusals received by the Popular Party to the amendments that this formation has presented to the 'popular' motions.

And now "we find ourselves in a consequent motion of interpellation that will be debated in plenary tomorrow."

The senator denounces, in fact, that the PP "carries out these types of tricks to get a headline", when in reality, "the only thing it achieves is delaying measures that can alleviate the pressure suffered by the Spanish.

Specifically, González-Robatto refers to the motion resulting from interpellation to urge the Government to urgently articulate certain temporary measures to protect companies and families from the uncontrolled increase in prices.

"The number one point of his initiative is a historic vindication of VOX. In the Senate, they rejected it on October 6," laments the senator.

It is about lowering the VAT on the electricity bill to 4%, an amendment that the VOX senator José Manuel Marín defended, precisely in the plenary session on October 6, and that the 'popular' senator Francisco Javier Márquez rejected.

Although it is true, Abascal's formation was much more ambitious in amending him than the PP is now.

"We asked to lower the VAT on electricity to 4% or eliminate it forever," Robatto denounces.

But the "PP trap" that vox denounces does not end there.

And it is that in the plenary session on March 22, the last one held, the 'popular' rejected another amendment that now appears in their motion as a consequence of interpellation.

"Our amendment had two parts, and one requested the contributions paid by the workers, so that the increase in their net salary can offset the effects of inflation, thus mitigating the decrease in purchasing power," recalls the senator, who "Personally, after they rejected it, I went to talk to the PP senators to ask them to accept it, and they denied me the amendment again."

"With this type of attitude, more typical of children who copy themselves in school work, the Spanish suffer," warns the senator.
