What is at stake on the next 4-M in Madrid and with Madrid throughout Spain is not fascism or democracy as the outdated propaganda of the demagogues says, what the Madrilenians are at stake in these regional elections is the freedom of education and free choice educational or medical center, respect for institutions and the rule of law and, above all, freedom of business and support for private initiative and entrepreneurship policies. In other words, everything that has led Madrid to become the first community in Spain in terms of GDP and employment growth, the one that contributes the most to the Common Fund of the State with the lowest taxes and to be awarded as the best Region in Europe 2021-2022 by the European Committee of the Regions or praised in Italy as a model of health and economic management.
All this are verifiable realities in the face of the demagoguery of a Pablo Iglesias who conjures up the danger of being left out of the Madrid Assembly with masquerades such as the abandonment of the SER debate, with the invaluable collaboration of VOX and Rocío Monasterio, or with lies that They have found the following of a PSOE and Ángel Gabilondo in desperation.
Lies like when he says that the order to the UME to intervene in the residences came from his vice presidency of Social Affairs when in fact he left the Ministry of Defense as Minister Margarita Robles has clarified. It is also a lie to say that Madrid is the Spanish community with the highest number of evictions when official statistics certify that it is twelve. And those who turn to Europe to recover the Wealth Tax also lie when Spain is the only European country that still maintains it.
What is at stake on 4-M in Madrid is free competition and support for private initiative
But the biggest falsehood used in this campaign is to accuse Madrid of tax dumping to defend a so-called harmonization that, as a recent report by the Institute of Economic Studies recalls, is nothing more than "a subterfuge for forced tax increases", whose Instrumentation would only "increase the deficiencies of our tax system."
"We are talking - explains the Institute - of increasing the cost of capital and reducing the level of business investment, which will lead to a reduction in employment and productivity that will end up generating a loss of both economic and social welfare." Because if the regulatory tax pressure is equalized at high levels, "the inequalities in tax collection pressure and in collection per inhabitant will increase, unjustifiable from a perspective of tax equality and personal equity." So clear and so true.
By the way, speaking of blows of effect and without wanting to prejudge anything, if it is strange at least that the absolutely reprehensible and democratically intolerable letter packages with bullets and threats to Pablo Iglesias, Minister Marlaska or the director of the Civil Guard, were not detected by the Post Office , but not by the protection and surveillance services of the Ministry of the Interior. Someone is lying or someone has not fulfilled their responsibilities and their security obligations. And that requires both conclusive explanations and the assumption of responsibilities with resignations or dismissals included.
