Sánchez insists on pointing out Del Pino, accusing him of not wanting to pay taxes: "The homeland is not just about making assets"

The Government insists on going to the clash with

after the decision that Ferrovial transfer its headquarters from Spain to the Netherlands, where the tax burden is lower.

A decision that has caused a major anger in the Executive, both for the forms and for the substance.

The confrontation with the businessman, who is the third largest Spanish fortune, is led by the President of the Government himself.

For Pedro Sánchez, what is behind this departure is not "legal stability", as the company claims, but

that is, that "those who have more have to contribute more to the public treasury by paying more taxes".

Reproaching him, in addition, for his lack of patriotism for changing the headquarters to pay, understand, less taxes:

The analysis made in La Moncloa of Ferrovial's decision is that more than a business decision it obeys the "personal interests" of the businessman, specifically, to, they interpret, his personal purpose of paying less taxes.

Dutch legislation does not oblige the entire management team of a company to establish their tax residence in that country in order to have their headquarters there and Del Pino has proposed to take advantage of that possibility to not move.

The Government, however, remains firm in the conviction that the pretext is wanting to pay less taxes and, in fact, Sánchez not only points out Rafael del Pino with names and surnames, but also accuses him of lack of patriotism, reproaching him, In addition, he has made his fortune thanks to Spain, to public awards.

"As a society we want to compete in the world, build a welfare state society where those who have the most contribute more.
