Arcadi España hints at a possible tax increase to finance transportation: "We cannot send messages of cuts"

Following the recent resignation of Óscar Puente after the Urda train tragedy, the Minister of Finance hinted at potential tax increases to fund improvements in Spain's transport network. Arcadi España emphasized the need for additional investment in transport, particularly in high-speed rail and commuter services, during his speech at the Fórum Europa Tribuna Mediterránea. He noted that current investment levels are significantly higher than during the previous PP government. España criticized the right-wing parties for their promises of tax cuts, stating that substantial investment efforts are necessary. He acknowledged the possibility of the PSOE being in opposition after the upcoming elections and addressed concerns regarding corruption within the party, asserting that the PSOE has acted decisively against it.
