The vice-president, minister of the Economy and government spokesperson could not have been clearer at a press conference, Anthony Costaafter the celebration of Board of Directors this Friday. Asked about the medals the left clings to after the announcement of the measures taken by the president Marga Prohens During the policy debate, Costa asked: “If the previous government had such good ideas and proposals, why didn’t they implement them in eight years? Why didn’t they do anything?
“It is very easy for the opposition to say we will, we will… Although The socialist spokesperson brought no initiative“. Antoni Costa harshly criticized the PSOE’s attitude in the Balearic Islands: “Now it turns out that they have very good ideas. From the Levante Train there was a power point “which was fantastic,” the spokesperson said ironic tone. “And another for the Train to Llucmajor. But they didn’t have the plan, not even a meter of track…; all the recommendations they make now remain discredited by the facts themselves” said Costa.
The vice-president of the Balearic Islands gave a portrait of the previous executive: “Over the last eight years, the government of Francine Armengol what I did is take the problems and put them in a drawer so that they do not exist. When it comes to housing, zero suggestions. Its result: a 68% increase in the rental price“. Costa brought out the colors of the now main opposition party, recalling its long history of neglect when governing the islands. “Lessons not one“, Costa added.
Another item on the agenda was the famous sustainable tourism taxalso known as ecotaxwhich Marga Prohens announced would increase during the summer months and decrease in the low season. On this, Costa wondered: “When they were governing, why didn’t they take it up? How is it possible that someone on Monday declared themselves in favor of increasing the price of the ecotax, but when the government says so, it no longer does it?
The councilor was surprised by the sudden change of mind of the PSOE, which was in favor on Monday of a possible tax increase, but when he saw that the current government also agreed with this proposal, he changed your mind. “Can you change your mind so quickly? It’s really surprising. The PSOE made a proposal on Monday and had already changed its mind on Wednesday.Costa thought.
The Vice-President of the Regional Executive made a final remark: “We make proposals based on what we think is better for the citizens of the Balearic Islands. This government will face the problems, it will not put them in boxes like the previous one did. We have structural problems in the Balearics. And what we cannot do is ignore them and look away, we must act,” he said at a press conference, addressing a request to the PSOE: “What we ask of the opposition is that it does not block the Government’s action. If they see a good proposition, don’t block it.
