The opposition charges Sánchez for penalizing the victims of the pandemic with more taxes

A demonstration, called by the association ‘Stop Successions’ and in which members of the Popular Party and Citizens have participated, has traveled the streets of Madrid this Saturday to protest against the inheritance tax that has seriously penalized the victims of the crisis In particular, the demonstration began at around 12 noon in Madrid’s Plaza de Cibeles. In front of the Ministry of Finance, the protesters have read a manifesto to protest against the “brutal increase in taxes that the Government intends to carry out.” The march continued through Puerta del Sol and Carrera de San Jerónimo, until it reached the doors of the Congress of Deputies, where the concentration ended with the reading of a second manifesto. Government was attended by the deputy spokesperson of the Popular Parliamentary Group in Congress, Sandra Moneo, and the popular deputies, Miguel Ángel Paniagua and Juan José Matarí During the rally, the deputy spokesperson of the GPP explained that the Popular Party has attended to a “fair” demonstration to show his commitment against tax increases and because he considers “that Spaniards cannot bear even one more tax ax from Pedro Sánchez.” Monao has lamented how “the electricity bill goes up, penalizes the consumption of diesel, they want to pay for driving on the highways ». “And now the Spaniards who have lost their loved ones this pandemic year see their pain as the insensitivity of this Government is added. Spain needs to lower taxes, to reactivate the economy and create jobs, “he stressed.The deputy secretary general and national spokesman for Citizens, Edmundo Bal, who has defended that “it is a legitimate claim” that the inheritance tax is not charged, “against the claims that the Government is raising in this such an inopportune moment, after more than 100,000 compatriots died from the pandemic. “” Who would think of raising the death tax, the inheritance tax, seems like a real nonsense to us. Not only is it untimely, but it is an unfair tax that taxes wealth twice, “he criticized. At this point, the deputy of the orange formation has warned that there are people “who even have to sell their inheritance to be able to pay their tax” which, in his opinion, “has a confiscatory nature”. Against economic recoveryFor the association ‘ Stop Successions’ citizens “can no longer bear” the Government’s “fiscal offensive” which, in their opinion, “directly threatens the economic recovery, against jobs and against the prosperity of Spaniards.” The protesters consider that the “brutal rise” in taxes that the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, and the Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, “is a declaration of fiscal war on inheritances and legitimate family assets”. In this context, the association criticizes that while Europe “lowers and even eliminates” taxes, Spain “is the only country that applies the ‘trident of death'” (inheritance, donations and patrimony).”Millions of unemployed, thousands of companies closing, hunger queues increasing, with the most massive and costly government in history,” lamented ‘Stop Successions’, which censors the “predatory and vampiresque fiscal policy” of Sánchez and Montero.
