What does Vox propose? The program of those of Abascal that 3.6 million Spaniards voted on 10-N

The numbers from the vote count for the November 10 elections offer no doubt: the party that has grown the most in votes is Vox. to those who already obtained in April until reaching 3.6 million voters. What have this important part of the citizens voted for? What is the training program?

The main programmatic axes of Vox, heard at rallies and on television as well as aired on social networks, mainly go through the defense of the unity of Spain, the liquidation as far as possible of the autonomous State, a forceful action in Catalonia that involves the arrest of Quim Torra and the control of illegal immigration. Also the defense of the traditional family and .

However, among public opinion, the specific proposals of the party in some matters are not known in detail. What are the main ones? First of all, the Vox program proposal must be put into context. Facing 10-N, those of Abascal presented two documents: a general electoral program consisting of which they have presented recurrently in all electoral processes and a .

It is this last document that reveals what Vox wants to do with the economy, especially at a time when the prospects are not good:

Taxes

“The current tax figures clearly discourage the efforts of workers, the self-employed and businessmen, and are an obstacle to the free exchange of goods and services,” Vox begins his presentation, warning in advance that “the average rate of personal income tax must not exceed the type of Corporation Tax”.

To comply with this budget, those of Abascal propose the “reduction of the sections on personal income tax to two, up to 60,000 euros and more than 60,000 euros” and the “progressive reduction of the marginal rates of the sections to 22% and 30% respectively”. In this way they intend to pull down the regional section that in some regions raises the rate to 48%.

Regarding Corporate Tax, Vox advocates a reduction in the general rate to 22% from the current 25% with the commitment to work to reduce it to 12.5% ​​”depending on Spain’s budgetary capacity.” Likewise, they defend a total elimination of the double taxation of dividends.

Also in tax matters, Vox seeks the “definitive repeal” of both the Wealth Tax and the Inheritance and Gift Taxes and the Increase in Value of Urban Nature Land because “they make it difficult to save and attack family assets”.

Employment and pensions

In labor matters, Vox slides generic measures without much specificity, such as “reduction of social contributions for workers, employers and the self-employed” and “simplification of the number of employment contracts.” Another outstanding measure in this block is the “freedom of retirement age once the minimum required is reached and greater incentives to delay it.”

In pensions, a political and economic battlehorse in recent years, Vox stands out from the rest of the parties and talks about “promoting a mixed system for those people who, on a voluntary basis, want to take advantage of it.” Something that calls into question the Pact of Toledo.

Public spending

It is in this section that Vox makes a total amendment to the autonomous system and proposes “the integration of essential public services (Health, Education, Justice…) into the central structure of the State.” Along the same lines, Vox talks about eliminating regional and local foreign action organizations, public promotion organizations, “public propaganda apparatus at the regional and local level” in addition to financing (this would be done progressively) to parties and unions.

In macroeconomic policy, Vox postulates the “immediate application of the Expenditure Rule in force for City Councils to the Autonomous Communities”, the “search for a primary surplus in public accounts, which comfortably exceeds the annual cost of debt” and “an annual program of amortization of Public Debt that will gradually reduce the amount dedicated to the payment of interest in the Budgets”.

families

Addressing support for families from an economic point of view, Vox proposes, to begin with, “a school check that will favor the free choice of center by parents.” He also defends the granting of scholarships, but “linked to the effort of the student.”

In the same way, Vox proposes a series of tax exemptions for families based on their members, which will be governed based on the Basic Needs of the Taxpayer (NBC), which “will allow the basic units of the taxpayer unit to be quantified based on of its size, its composition and the scale consumption derived from the common life of families”.

The 100 famous measures

In each electoral appointment, Vox has put its main axes of its action ahead of any other measure, which are summarized in several pillars.

Regarding the unity of Spain, Catalonia is presented as a primary objective in the Vox program. The party will use its parliamentary force that it has not had until now to demand compliance with the Constitution and the “immediate suspension of the autonomy of Catalonia”, with the consequent prosecution of the rebels “in the separatist coup d’état”, as as it appears in the measurement text.

Regarding “support for the family, life and values”, Vox picks up the gauntlet of the PP’s demands during the governments of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and appeals to family unity and the rejection of abortion. To these slogans directed at a more traditionalist and Catholic electorate that may oppose homosexual marriage or the termination of pregnancy, Abascal’s party adds a social veneer by promising aid for the elderly, dependents and the disabled.

Immigration and the concept of identity are the most controversial points in the party’s program and the one that has earned it the qualifications of xenophobic and far-right from other parties and sectors. Vox talks about controlling immigration based on the needs of the national economy. A proposal that matches the discourse of other European movements such as that of Marine Le Pen in France.

In the same way, Vox establishes that this control must also be governed by the ability of these immigrants to accept European values ​​and integrate into society. Although it is not mentioned explicitly, it can be assumed that issues such as the prohibition of the Islamic headscarf come into play here.
