• More Country. Íñigo Errejón imitates the ecological policies of Pablo Iglesias
  • 10-N. Pablo Iglesias accuses Pedro Sánchez of exhuming Franco as "electoral ammunition"

We can consider that nothing has changed since April. The problems that existed then remain "intact" and, therefore, the purple strategists conclude that their solutions remain valid. Hence, the electoral program for 10-N is 95% identical to that of 28-A . In their country proposal they reinforce their commitment to a fiscal reform, placing as a red line, a priority, to establish a tax on large fortunes; While they continue betting on the referendum agreed as a solution to the conflict in Catalonia , but they will not be inflexible, it will not be a red line.

We can live at the crossroads of wanting to escape from a political current situation that is about to be flooded by the sentence of the process . The purple leadership has drawn the line of maintaining its social discourse, speaking of "the problems of the people" even though they are left alone and even without having a media echo. "We are going to maintain a social profile. That means talking about people's problems. If we talk about this we will be a better country. The Catalan conflict is not the only problem that Spain has. There are millions of people who cannot reach month and if we don't talk about them they won't be given a solution, "they reflect from the dome of Podemos.

The months since April have made the need to strengthen its commitment to fiscal reform, which added to its program, increase the income of 3.5 points of GDP , some 40,000 million, in the purple direction. And as an emblem of that tax reform, Podemos is not willing to give up the creation of a tax for the great fortunes that grave the great patrimonies in order to raise 1% of the GDP of assets exceeding one million euros, and of Progressive form. "It will have a minimum exempt for the first home of 400,000 euros and will tax 2% of assets of more than one million euros, with 2.5% of assets of more than 10 million euros, with 3% of assets over 50 million and with 3.5% of the assets of more than 100 million euros, so that most of the tax falls on the thousand highest assets in the country. This tax will replace the current estate tax, which is inoperative, and cannot be discounted by the autonomous communities, "they explain in Podemos.

One of the few novelties of the Podemos program is that they want to create a new green tax, a tax on the benefits of large companies to pollute, they explain in the game, which frame it in their commitment to the ecological transition. "An aggravated type in corporate tax to discourage polluting activities and increase the contribution of companies with more responsibility in the ecological transition." In its sights, oil and energy companies.

Dialogue for "territorial conflicts"

Big fortune tax, red line. Referendum in Catalonia, no. In its program for 10-N, there will continue to be a bet "for an agreed referendum in which Podemos will defend a new fit for Catalonia in Spain". This solution appeared in the April document; disappeared in the text of 370 measures that in August sent to the PSOE to try to resume the negotiation; And now he returns to the scene.

"We believe in a dialogue solution of territorial conflicts. The referendum in Catalonia is not proposed as the tax to the great fortunes, which we will do if we get to govern. The consultation in Catalonia is going to dialogue with the rest of the parties, we are going to put it on the table and we will see what comes out of this dialogue, "sources from the direction of Podemos indicate.

During the negotiation with the PSOE, Pablo Iglesias opted to compromise the loyalty of his training in matters of states such as Catalonia to facilitate a co-government. That is, implicitly waived the referendum. This position generated friction with the 'commons', the Catalan sector of Podemos, whose leaders whenever they could publicly expressed that they did not give up the consultation. At the meetings, these positions were wielded by Vice President Carmen Calvo as a factor of distrust.
