The Left Bloc accused the Government of announcing measures it designated as "crumbs" that are already "swallowed" by the new interest rate increase. The criticism was made by José Manuel Pureza, who referred to the new supplement for pensioners and the IRS relief up to the sixth bracket as "a small alms".
According to Pureza, with the interest rate increase, the measures announced by the Executive end up being "less than nothing" for citizens. The leftist bloc member considered that the support measures are not sufficient to compensate for the negative impact of rising interest rates on people's lives.
The article states that the new supplement for pensioners and the tax relief are part of the set of measures presented by the Government to address the cost of living. However, the BE opposition believes that these measures are insufficient and that the interest rate increase cancels out any benefit they may bring. José Manuel Pureza emphasized that the so-called "crumbs" promised by the Executive are quickly absorbed by the worsening economic conditions.
