Spain Announces New Aid Package To Mitigate the Economic Meltdown the EU’s Policies Have Created

The Spanish government has just announced a new aid package of €10 billion, on top of the €35 billion it has already provided to date, to help Spaniards survive under the economic meltdown now underway in Spain and across Europe – which is the result of the EU’s own suicidal economic policies. This is to “protect the middle and working classes in the face of a rise in the cost of living, energy and food,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said. According to RT, the new package includes canceling the value-added tax on such staple foods as bread and milk, whereas it will be reduced from 10% to 5% on oil and pasta. “Electricity and gas rebates will be extended for another six months, while rent increases will be capped at 2% until the end of the year. Landlords will also be prohibited from evicting vulnerable families.”
