integrated responses of parliamentary spokesman IU President of the Government in the House of Congress on the Future of Social Policy in our country.
Lord President of the Government, I do not know if you remember a novel by Dürrenmatt called 'Justice'. It attempts to show that reality has nothing to do with the official reality. Well, in this day we have seen how the government tries to create an official reality complacent regarding the welfare state, citizens, however, come as the "Midwestern State ', if not social unrest.
Lord President of the Government, we are not in vain in the days leading up to Carnival. Each is disguised as what they want or what they can. The government conceals the reality: the government disguises antisocial policy reforms to ensure social policies and the Popular Party disguised as leftists. I have heard here today was not expecting to hear things in the mouth of the Popular Party, because it denies any policy which has governed there. Where has ruled, welfare cuts and privatization have been the norm, not the social policy priority.
But let the reality, ladies and gentlemen. The reality is that our country faces, it is true that very detached from what we recalled yesterday, hit the market, a market coup attempting to apply all sorts of cuts and benefit rights precisely on the shoulders of those who have not caused the crisis, but fundamentally they have suffered. This market coup, Mr. Prime Minister, is creating social unrest and political disaffection and you seem not to notice when it affects not only the government but to the vibrancy of democracy itself.
Lord President Government, on the street, outside these walls, there are over 4,600,000 unemployed and stops. In our country there is a 'state of the Midwest', not a welfare state. Divide us more than 7 points, more than 70,000 million euros in social spending than the European average and we have the rare honor of being the next to last in overall social spending from the EU Fifteen.
Moreover, our country has a specific, one of the most unequal countries, most unfair of the European Union. 10 percent of earners and those who have more assets are 10 times more income than the whole of society and, above all those under income and assets are 30 times more, Mr. President. Can not come to this House to discuss the welfare state with those figures mean is that what a 'Midwestern State' and social situation of discomfort.
ladies and gentlemen, the Government has taken two steps in their management, on the one hand we have tried to cooperate, especially in social policies, and in recent years we have seen in trenches and different positions. In a first stage, the government thought it was possible to put a hare and hunt with the hounds, to neoliberal policies in taxation, for example cut more than 30,000 million euros in revenues and more wealth high and at the same time, social measures such as the Law of attention to the Unit. In this came the crisis and the government realized that it is not possible to serve two masters betrays one of them and the government has chosen to betray the citizens and workers, maintaining its commitment to neoliberal policies and markets .
In recent days, Mr. President, if this were not enough, the Government has increased the sale of 'Grandma's jewelry. " Mr. Prime Minister, a key part of the European welfare state is also the public sector. In the coming days we will no longer be public in the field financial-had 50 percent of social sector through the boxes in the financial field, and what might be called communications and transportation, the only area with significant public presence along with the social policy field. The Government has decided to privatize AENA and take decisions on privatization, in our view, undermine the welfare state.
The European welfare state is based, said earlier in a public presence in the economy and a fair tax system. Our tax system is anything but fair. 70 percent of revenues are workers, through income and taxes consumption. The contribution of large estates and large incomes contributes in a minor way to the taxation in this country and, moreover, defrauded more than 80,000 million in tax fraud. Mr. Prime Minister, an anemic tax no welfare state which provides for it or the stamina.
Moreover, an essential part of the welfare state are the social policies. Can not say that in Spain, with 7 points gap with the European average and be the penultimate in social spending, have a welfare state. As I said, 'Midwestern State' and, sometimes, discomfort. And the Prime Minister and the Government over the past few days, lately, what they have done is to trim the welfare state.
It appears as the great reformer. I do not think this is the great destroyer, the right not share the doom and gloom, but I do not share the complacency of the great reformer who asks us to sacrifice today to ensure a bright future in the social model. No, Mr. Prime Minister, because if you prune a weak welfare state, you are cutting the welfare state. And that's what they've done with the adjustments that have occurred in recent days and that is what they are doing, despite the enormous effort of the unions, the policy also public pension. Do not accuse you of demography, we are not doomed to demography. We have something much more important, that is democracy.
And the question is: How much are you willing to spend democracy in social spending? With a difference of 70,000 million with the European Union average is not fair that the only response the Government is cutting back on public employment, cutting the salaries of public officials, freeze pensions for pensioners and now even cut pensions Caesarism worth a better cause. Mr. Prime Minister, you are elected for four years, you are not elected for 50 years. Just one of the limits imposed democracy is the time. Do you know why? To avoid that, 'I do it for your good, and today I sacrificáis for the sake of tomorrow. " Ladies and gentlemen, in our view, this position is not acceptable in relation to the Government.
conclude by saying that an alternative economic recovery by boosting public. An alternative that does not generate economic recovery as the cut is now generating more unemployment, more precarious and that does not degrade the quality of public services. When you cut the salary of officials or deny his reinstatement are degrading the quality of health, quality of education and quality of social services.
There is another alternative to a tax reform to recover at least what we have left to enter lower taxes for higher income and more than 30,000 million euros that would cut unnecessary now made by the Government. And there, in our opinion, a better alternative, which consolidates the welfare state in our country or moving towards the welfare state and do not trim the welfare state of today nor the future of the welfare state. I hope that what has started as a carnival with costumes on the reality and the political position of each can end up in a debate to change the government's economic policy.
