The spokesperson for the Popular Parliamentary Group Y President of the PP of the Canary Islands, Australia Navarro, criticized yesterday that it has only been paid today two percent of the 1,144 million euros that the archipelago has received from direct aid from the Government of Spain to our companies and the self-employed, which represents about 30 million.
This is how Navarro points out after President Ángel Víctor Torres stated at the Candelaria festival that he supported the “timid start” that the Canarian economy has had this quarter. “To speed up the delivery of direct aid as much as possible”, Navarro believes that it is the best way. “It is difficult to explain that the moment our economic engine begins to move, the Canary Islands Government bureaucracy becomes a stumbling block and slows down the arrival of oxygen to our companies.” Navarro emphasizes that it is an “exasperating slowness and parsimony” on the part of the regional Executive “that is repeated with the 84 million euros planned to help the tourism sector and that seven months after being announced they have not yet been delivered” .
Therefore, the popular rejected “Any triumphalist message” and he recalled that with growth forecasts for the rest of the year of 4%, two points below the national average, and close to 50,000 workers in ERTE, our economy is still “stagnant and anesthetized.”
“Less bureaucracy, less taxes and more reforms is the way to go so that our economy can come to the fore with greater speed and security,” stressed Australia Navarro, who is speaking today in Parliament.
Finally, the president of the popular Canaries recommended to the Torres government that in these difficult times «instead of betting on the budget surplus as it has done until now, bet on leaving the money in the pockets of Canarian companies and families, including in the budgets of the autonomous community for 2022 a reduction in taxes.
