The Deputy Secretary General of the Socialist Party of Castilla y León, Virginia Barcones, affirmed today that “our country deserves to continue growing and advancing to implement policies that have made it possible to revalue pensions, raise the minimum interprofessional wage, that we have more employees and with better conditions, or that we raise scholarships”. This is how she has stated it during her visit to Peñaranda de Bracamonte (Salamanca) where she has participated in the PSOE electoral caravan with an information table at the weekly market on Thursdays.

Virginia blamed the PP for “consenting in the Junta de Castilla y León that the alliance of the right with the extreme right would cause the ranchers of Salamanca to suffer terrible damages.” “They knew what this ruining extreme regulation and ideology was going to mean, because they are willing to ruin ranchers and farmers, whom they say they defend, for making ideology.” In this sense, she pointed out that “they are deniers of vaccines and climate change.”

Barcones asked for the vote for the PSOE “in defense of the workers and the middle classes.” In this regard, he recalled that pensions have risen by 8.5 percent and that, in Salamanca, 22,000 people have a free pass to travel by train in “a measure to combat depopulation.” He also recalled that “those over 65 years of age can, once a week, go to the cinema for two euros so that cinemas can be revitalized once more.”

The deputy general secretary reviewed some measures implemented by the Government of Spain such as the 20 million euros in Salamanca to “guarantee that by 2025 the province is connected by broadband, another 26 million euros to guarantee 5G, and that 140,000 plots of homes, businesses or warehouses in Salamanca can be connected via satellite, with 100 megabytes at a maximum price of 35 euros and a subsidy of 600 euros for the installation of this connection”.

Virginia Barcones, who toured the Thursday market, spoke with some of the street vendors as well as with residents of Peñaranda and the region. In addition, she visited the facilities of the Dulces Dulca company, one of the main confectionery factories in Castilla y León with regarding 200 workers.
