Feijóo requests to eliminate VAT on basic food and reduce that of energy

The People's Party, led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has launched a plan to reduce taxes, citing the erosion of families' purchasing power due to inflation, particularly energy prices. The plan includes a 0% VAT on basic food items, a reduction in VAT on energy from 21% to 10%, and adjustments to income tax brackets to account for inflation.

Feijóo criticized the government, saying it has made Spain "uninhabitable" and called for it to abandon its optimistic rhetoric about the economy. The plan also proposes increased tax deductions for families with children.
