The opposition leader has taken advantage of the announcement by the president of the Generalitat Valenciana,

Ximo Puig

, to ask the Sánchez government to be "consistent" and lower taxes, as his own rank-and-file colleagues in Valencia do despite having initially refused. .

Alberto Núñez Feijóo

asks the PSOE to "copy itself" and "have at least a little coherence and not say one thing and say the opposite a hundred kilometers away" and, likewise, stop "disqualifying the opposition for asking for what the autonomous governments of the socialist party are now doing in some regions".

"It makes no sense to live in this situation," he added.

Puig, he said, has now applied a reduction "after having denied it."

That the council of ministers began "today" to approve tax cuts, he has stated, would be "coherent" and "is in line with what other European countries do."

"Not in Spain, taxes are raised here."

The president of the PP has made these statements in the Pere Garau market, one of the most popular in Palma, known for its products from the primary sector, where he has been accompanied by the president of the Balearic Popular Party,

Marga Prohens

, a candidate for the regional elections that will be held next year in the archipelago governed since 2016 by the PSOE of Francina Armengol.

Feijóo has taken the claims at street level of the market and the increase in the price of basic foods as the axis of his claim released yesterday, when he demanded that the Government lower the VAT on food and children's and feminine hygiene products until 4 %.

"Copy countries like

Germany

, where some basic products

have 0% VAT

," Feijóo told the government, which he accuses of "criminalizing merchants" with "the nonsense" of the proposal to cap prices.
