O it was announced by Luís Montenegro in opening the debate in Parliament on the motion of censure of the Aquis to the Government, saying that the two measures will be implemented in the Council of Ministers next week.
“The first: to gradually supplement pensioners by EUR 1,611,13, which represents a value of around EUR 400 million that will be paid together with the December pension,” he said.
The second, aimed at “supporting the middle class, will be “a reduction of the IRS by the sixth step, to a value of EUR 400 million”.
“ This decline covers, in practice, all IRS taxpayers, even those who are above incomes, given the progressive nature of the tax. This tax relief will already be felt with a reduction in the retentions of the source in November, in the salary and Christmas subsidy ", said.
According to the Prime Minister, the two measures “will cover more than two million pensioners and more than two million households.”
“ And they are only possible thanks to the economic performance of the country and the sound financial and budgetary management of the government. We are not talking about more debt, we are not talking about illusions for the future”, he said.
Montenegro has ensured that this will not compromise the right accounts, saying that “ruling responsibility is knowing how to distribute the results without destroying the conditions that made them possible.”.
“ We in the government do not accept the false choice between right accounts and social justice. We prefer fair accounts, the condition to support those who need, reduce taxes and protect the country in the most difficult moments ", said.
