MADRID The Spanish Prime, Mariano Rajoy , announced the end of the sacrifices and unveiled a set of social measures to “alleviate” the middle class hit by the economic crisis at the start of an election year in the country. “We believe in the future of Spain if we continue with the economic policies we have put in place, you no longer have to require many sacrifices,” he said in the debate on the state of the nation, the most important annual legislative meeting.
Less than one hundred days for municipal and regional elections, which measured support for the government before the general end of the year, the chief executive made a positive review of the three-year term. “The state we are discussing today is a nation that has come out of the nightmare and rescued herself. A nation in which I begin to spin the wheel of economic activity, is already beginning to grow jobs and reduced the number of unemployed, “he said from the rostrum of the Congress of Deputies. Of all his decisions, he emphasized the not to ask the rescue in 2012 when Spain was on the verge of bankruptcy. “It was the great social measure of the legislature,” he said.
The opposition branded the discourse of “triumphalism” and accused Rajoy cause with their cuts “a huge mess” in Spain, reducing the rights of citizens and lead to increased job insecurity. “His complacency is unwarranted. No one believes neither you, “snapped the leader (PSOE) Socialist Party, Pedro Sánchez , who opened the debate seven months after being elected by the militants of training.
Rajoy gripped the economic data to be congratulated for having brought to Spain from recession and for fulfilling the promises made at the beginning of the legislature, in December 2011, he said.
“Spain has gone from being a country on the brink of bankruptcy to become recovery scenario. It’s not a problem for Europe, or need a bailout, nor will leave the euro, “he added. He said that the Spanish economy will grow 2.4% this year, compared with 1.4 in 2014, and predicted the creation of 500,000 jobs.
The Chief Executive winked at the middle classes with the announcement of an aid package and measures including notably the so-called law “second chance”, with which it is intended that families and entrepreneurs struggling to achieve a restructuring of its debts. He also announced a special bonus for self-employed with dependents, reduced prices for new permanent contracts and new aid for single parents with two children. “None of these measures will mitigate the damage they have done their policies in these three years,” Sanchez said before reporting that some of them had already been presented at other times, without ever met. The face-off between Rajoy and Socialist leader became a war of data and an exchange of accusations following the management of current and former government led by socialist José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero (2004-2011).
Other hot topics such as corruption, one of the main concerns of citizens, or sovereigntist challenge for the region of Catalonia also attended the last great political debate in the legislature. This is celebrated in key “pre-election” and in an environment of change, following the results of recent surveys that point to the end of bipartisanship in Spain for a possible strong inflow of new parties.
