Feijóo proposes discounts on electricity and gas bills to families who save the most

Feijóo is committed to creating an independent body to monitor energy policy, and calls for “stopping renewable, nuclear and hydraulic energies”, at least during “the duration of the war.” The PP is in favor of reconsidering the calendar of the ecological transition because the war in Ukraine has blown the deadlines. “The war has blown up the deadlines for renewables,” said Feijóo, who is committed to “stopping this transition plan for the survival of households.” The popular leader defends keeping active “all the energy capacities” that he has Spain, like the nuclear power plants “which provide 20% of the energy produced”. He admits that although renewables are “the future” they face “a complex implementation”, such as wind energy: “people don’t want windmills near their homes”, he has said. That’s why he warns that: “We can’t unplug what works before plugging in what doesn’t work yet.” “We can’t unplug what works before plugging in what doesn’t work yet” Feijóo feels annoyed by the government’s rejection of his proposal to renew the Constitutional Court and the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ). “The government’s response has been furious, it seemed very surprising to us that the government does not accept or even talk about this matter again,” he stated after hearing the words of the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, who accused the PP of “appearing facing the gallery” who want to renew the highest body of judges. The leader of the PP considers that at this moment the Council “is a kind of zombie” because “it cannot exercise the constitutional powers it has”, and denounces that the Executive “is blackmailing the renewal of the Constitutional Court”. About the latest polls that grant the PP up to 8 points ahead of the Socialists, Feijóo has been prudent. “There is a long way to go before the elections” he has confessed, although he has announced that if they reach Moncloa they will repeal all the laws appealed by his party before the Constitutional Court, such as the abortion law or the education law.
