• PP Feijóo demands a fiscal gesture from Sánchez to reach agreements and opens to negotiate the renewal of the CGPJ

With expectation, but also with distrust and misgivings.

This is how Alberto Núñez Feijóo's visit to La Moncloa

is lived in the PSOE this Thursday

.

The first meeting between the new leader of the PP and Pedro Sánchez is considered among the socialists and in the Government as an important touchstone to know the attitude and predisposition of the Galician.

In fact, they expect something tangible after the meeting.

In the Government they believe that a dialogue and even an understanding with the PP is possible.

The optimism of being able to try to renew, now yes, the Judicial Power

returns to the Executive

, but a tax reduction is not contemplated as requested by the new president of the PP.

In the PSOE and in the Government they do not contemplate touching taxation.

At least for now.

They do not foresee a tax reduction, as Feijóo demands.

In fact, his bet regarding hydrocarbons has been direct aid, the subsidy -discount of 20 cents for each liter- instead of touching

VAT

.

It is not, at least for now, the roadmap of Nadia Calviño and María Jesús Montero.

"The solution of the PP when it is in the opposition, no matter what happens, always goes through lowering taxes," they complain in the PSOE.

«Then when they govern they raise them.

Rajoy

raised about 50 taxes».

«Let him say where he is going to cut from: from Education and Health?

Because the right always balances the accounts with cuts ».

The Socialists and the Government dodge fiscal pressures, which come from both the opposition and its allies.

Just yesterday, Podemos registered a tax law on large fortunes, where it contemplates creating a tax on fortunes greater than 10 million.

The PP demands a tax cut, remembering that it was Sánchez's commitment at the last

Conference of Presidents

.

That is how he spoke then with Feijóo himself.

From the Government they defend that the shock plan approved by the

Council of Ministers

mobilizes 16,000 million euros, with 6,000 million in direct aid and tax reductions: specifically, the electricity bill: lowering VAT from 21 to 10% and eliminating the generation tax and the electricity tax.

Despite the different positions, in the Executive they still trust that the PP will at least abstain and not oppose in Congress the shock plan against the crisis due to the war in Ukraine.

In the PSOE and in the Government they believe that a sample to know if Feijóo turns towards moderation is the renewal of the Judicial Power.

They are willing to immediately resume the negotiation under the terms agreed with Pablo Casado -renew the governing body of the judges with the legislation in force, which makes a PSOE-PP agreement necessary-.

They remember that if Feijóo has defended the Constitution these days, the first thing he must do is comply with it and, therefore, renew the General Council of the Judiciary.
