Feijóo will reduce personal income tax to medium and low incomes, will review the laws approved by Bildu and will make the fight against gender violence a "priority"

The president of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, outlined on Monday the first ten measures that he will adopt in his Council of Ministers if on July 23 he achieves sufficient confidence at the polls to reach La Moncloa. A decalogue that includes the reduction of personal income tax in the middle and lower classes, the recovery of the crime of sedition and the toughening of penalties for corruption or the revision of all those laws approved thanks to the support of EH Bildu in Congress.

Several of these points were advanced by EL MUNDO on June 6 and confirmed this Monday by Feijóo himself at a breakfast organized by Nueva Economía Fórum in Madrid.. In addition, the popular leader will make the fight for equality and against gender violence a “priority”, will significantly reduce the number of ministries and present in its first 100 days a new organic law of the Judiciary that guarantees its independence.

Feijóo, who continues without giving clues about his future economic team, also promises to quickly contact the social agents to establish the lines of dialogue for the legislature, will convene the Conference of Autonomous Presidents and will carry out an audit of state accounts to inform the Spaniards the economic state of the State if there is a change of Government.

With 34 days to go to the polls, the PP takes advantage of the image given last Saturday in the formation of town halls throughout Spain to boast of having broken the “block policy”. The movement of the popular in the Basque Country and in Barcelona, giving their vote to the PNV and PSC respectively to curb nationalism, places Feijóo, they believe in Genoa, as the guarantor of the “bridges” policy that reinforces his presidential image of facing 23-J.

Hence, the president of the PP has opted at this time, still pre-electoral, to advance part of his executive plan if he reaches La Moncloa. As of today, all the surveys predict that, to do so, it must go hand in hand with Vox. The alliance, forged for the moment at the regional level only in the Valencian Community after 28-M, does not convince Feijóo, who in recent days confronted those of Santiago Abascal at the expense of Vox's denial of the existence of violence of genre.

Hence the importance that the president of the PP has decided to give to the “fight for equality and against gender violence” in his first weeks of presidency of the Government. He will raise this issue to a “priority”, while launching a message both “for the left” and “for those who say they are on the right”: “We will not make a law like the yes is yes nor are we going to deny or stop fighting against a scourge that every year leaves fifty women murdered at the hands of their partners” in our country.

The popular leader marked the first red line in a hypothetical negotiation with Vox on Equality: he will not eliminate the outgoing laws within his formation. “It will not occur to me to deny it or make laws that leave women unprotected, or repeal the laws that the PP has made. We will not take a step back,” Feijóo said.

Meanwhile, in Vox they accuse the left and part of the leadership of the PP of orchestrating a campaign against those of Santiago Abascal for denying gender violence. The president of the party himself defined this term on Monday as an “ideological concept” and, in parallel, presented a battery of measures to “combat violence against women and its causes.”

Among them, Vox proposes “to support and assist victims of domestic violence, especially that suffered by women, children and the elderly”, the identification of all rapists released by the law of yes is yes or the prohibition of the entry to “no man, regardless of the gender with which he perceives himself”, in spaces reserved for women, such as changing rooms or toilets.
