The spokesman of Economics at the Regional Assembly, Begoña García Retegui denounced "the cynicism of the PP to do just the opposite of what they promise."
In his view, the PP does not meet the promised income tax drops in their electoral programs, while their municipal taxes increase year after year as the IBI well above the CPI. "
The facts are stubborn
Valcárcel Retegui recalled that promised in the last regional election campaign a reduction in income tax a quarter of a percentage point annually for 4 years to reach 1 percent by the end of the term, "failed promise."
The only reduction did not reach 20 euros on average per respondent and was negatively assessed by the Economic and Social Council by little, by no impact on the economy or not help boost consumer spending and investment.
"Armed robbery"
Moreover, the socialist deputy spokesman denounced the "armed robbery" involving the disproportionate and unfair increases approved by popular councils in taxes as property tax.
Valcárcel García Retegui asked, "If you have any credibility, requiring a reduction in their municipal tax rate in the Property Tax (IBI) for it does not increase above the CPI, as the increases provided by PP will produce a very negative impact on lower incomes, on those who are suffering with greater intensity the economic crisis, those who in any case have caused. "
He gave the examples of what happened in Murcia, "where in 2001 paid less than 50 euros per 6,000 euros of assessed value, while in 2010 they will pay more than 103 euros per 6,000" or Towers gossips, where what it cost 300 euros to a neighbor / a way of IBI in 2007 was to cost 450 euros in 2009, or in Molina de Segura, in Santomera, and so on, accumulating a rise of over 50 percent since 2004 and more than 25 percent so far this term. "
"To be credible, the people should make a move and lower the tax rate.
Only then will stop the bleeding that is for all households increases approved by the people, which soon began to take the neighbors, "he concluded.
