The councilors of the Popular Party in the Yaiza City Council, Juan Monzón and Guayo Rodríguez, denounce “the tax increase proposed by the government of Unidos por Yaiza and Coalición Canaria after approving in the last plenary session an increase of almost 45% in the ICIO” for which they add that this tax “goes from 2.4% to 3.5%, staying only half a point from the maximum legal established of 4%”.
For the populars, the proposal of the municipal government “comes to worsen, even more if possible, the resentful economy of the neighbors who fully experienced the tourist stoppage”. In this sense, the popular spokesman Juan Monzón shows his “great concern” for the measures that the Noda government is adopting, which he considers “totally contrary to the recommendations of the experts in order to face this crisis”.
“Mr. Noda, do not count on us to raise a single rate, or a single tax that means punishing the residents of Yaiza even more, and less when you have not been able to approve a single line of direct aid destined to the sectors most punished by the crisis”, said Juan Monzón.
“It is evident that when the Mayor speaks of his much-vaunted good economic health, he refers only to his and that of the government group, hence they can afford the luxury of raising the budget item dedicated to advertising and propaganda to almost 300 thousand euros to spend on self-promotion”, says the spokesman for the popular group.
From the Popular Party they assure that the Municipal Government “forgets once again the neighbors, the self-employed and the SMEs, behind which there are also people, who have received one blow after another and who can no longer bear more burdens”.
“They have already had enough with having survived the cessation of activity, the problems derived from the pandemic and totally exorbitant electricity prices, so that now the City Council arrives and increases the fiscal pressure, drowning them even more instead of lending a hand and standing by their side to mitigate the effects of the crisis as much as possible”, defended the councilor of the Popular Party of Yaiza.
