Sánchez: “Governing is not living in Moncloa, nor living in a two-million-dollar apartment largely paid for with tax fraud”
The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, stated this Wednesday that, as the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, had told him, “governing is not living in the Moncloa, nor is it living in a two-million-dollar apartment largely paid for with a tax fraud”, in reference to the home of Alberto González, the boyfriend of the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
Feijóo had told him that “governing without Budgets is not governing, just as governing is not living in La Moncloa”, demanding elections given that the Government has refused to process the 2024 Budgets due to the early elections in Catalonia. Sánchez has responded with this attack referring to Ayuso and has then defended his six-year government. “Governing is having a country project, having the courage to implement it and the capacity for dialogue to execute it,” he said. In his six years of government, he has said, he has “bet on growth, people's rights and coexistence.” In economics, he has said that “Spain is in better shape than the rest of the EU, with 21 million members, a temporary employment rate of 16% due to the labor reform and raising pensions, the minimum wage and strengthening public services.” “And we do it with fiscal responsibility,” he highlighted, “announcing that “2023 will close with a deficit of 3.7%, “meeting the objectives we previously set.”
