Jordi Turullsecretary general of Junts, warned the government that the seven deputies of his party in Congress would vote against energy tax if this endangers investments in the Tarragona chemical park.
This was ensured in “The National”: “We are not saying that energy companies should not pay taxes. In fact, they pay a lot. What we don’t want is for this to become this great investment in danger which exists at the Tarragona Camp to transform what we call petrochemicals into the spearhead of the green economy and decarbonization”.
“The PSOE tried to agree on budgetary policy with JxCat and with Podemos, at the same time. And we don’t have the same one,” insisted Turull during the socialist negotiations.
According to him, in Catalonia, “we pay too many taxes” and he affirms that his party is in favor of “lower them and do it in such a way that there is fairness and justice”. “We have to extract the maximum amount of money from the state, or not, by approving the budgets and negotiating them if they have not already accomplished what they had to do in Catalonia,” he said .
“At a time when you have such a decisive force in the Catalan independence movement in Madrid, we need to get more money from there and not from the pockets of the Catalans,” summed up Turull.
“Bridges with the PP do not exist”
In addition, the Secretary General of Junts also spoke of a possible pact with the PP in a possible motion of censure against the Sánchez government. The door, more than closed for Feijóo: “Junts’ support is a fantasy. They go hand in hand with VOX. “They don’t even need to hint at us.”
“The bridges with the PP are neither broken nor severed. They do not exist, after they decided that they did not need to talk to us. The PP had an attitude of mass destruction with very sensitive questions for Junts”, he concluded.
