• “Now more than ever we must put partisanship aside and unite strength and solutions against the inflation that impoverishes families; In this battle, either you are with the Andalusians or you are against them”.
• Moves the "disappointment" by the Drought Table “where once again the Sánchez government does not listen to Andalusia before the serious situation that exists”.
• "We have been lowering taxes for four years and the PSOE has always voted against it, we are surprised that now they are asking for a deduction from personal income tax."
The general secretary of the Andalusian PP, Antonio Repullo, has transferred his commitment so that the formation continues to be "a party open to the Andalusians and sensitive to this land, which serves as a transmission belt for the Government of Juanma Moreno to correspond to the Andalusians in the search for solutions."
In accordance with this, Repullo has pointed out that "the first task must be to listen" and, for that reason, encourages the rest of the parliamentary groups to bring "the will to dialogue, sensible proposals and the desire to be useful to the Andalusians" in the meeting that the different political spokespersons will maintain with the president of the Board.
Thus, the Secretary General has indicated that “now more than ever partisanship must be parked and join forces and solutions against inflation that impoverishes families; in this battle, either you are with the Andalusians or you are against them", and regretted that the PSOE "continues to be in the confrontation that only stalls social and economic progress, instead of joining the dialogue, the proposals and agreements".
For Repullo, that is what has prevailed in the National Drought Table, which "has brought neither projects nor resources nor intentions", which "disappoints us to see that once again the Government of Sánchez does not want to listen to Andalusia or attend to our needs that are within its competence".
“The development of this table does not correspond to the very serious water crisis that our community is going through that demands urgent actions", he added, highlighting that "while the Board has already activated two drought decrees with 141 million euros despite having only 33% of the powers in this matter, the Government of the Nation continues without assume new commitments, and, with 67% of the competitions, it has only dedicated 9 million so far and with no intention of doing anything else”.
For this reason, the Secretary General has demanded urgent measures from the National Executive such as the double electricity tariff for irrigators, the bonus for desalinated water, the lowering of taxes for farmers and the reprogramming of Next Generation funds. "This is not the time for confrontation, but to join forces and respond without delay to climate emergencies."
In addition, Repullo has shown his "surprise" at the PSOE's proposal to request a reduction in personal income tax when "the Socialists have always voted against all reductions in personal income tax." In fact, "we have been lowering taxes for Andalusians for four years within our powers and the PSOE has voted against all the reductions", despite the fact that "our reductions in taxes have left 540 million a year in the hands of Andalusians" .
Repullo has ensured that the Government of Andalusia "Working towards 2023 on a new selective tax reduction because we know that this is the formula to be able to help Andalusian families", and among these will be the reduction of the water canon and the deflation of personal income tax, an issue that "we ask the Government of Sánchez to copy us at the national level ”.
"We are going to increase the amounts that are exempt from personal income tax in application of the personal and family minimum corresponding to the regional tranche aimed, in this case, at favoring family income, birth rates and people with disabilities."
Repullo concluded by emphasizing "that we will continue to support Andalusian families, working tirelessly to provide solutions to the uncertainties that lurk and to be able to place Andalusia in the place it deserves."
