I am in favor of reducing all budget items. But the item I don't want to reduce is the pension expenditure because it affects the weakest part of society.
Mariano RajoySpain is facing an economic situation of extreme difficulty, I repeat, of extreme difficulty, and anyone who doesn't understand that is fooling themselves.
Mariano RajoyThere are countries that are near ours which are in the situation which we all know. I want to say that this is not the case of Spain now and it will not be in the future.
Mariano RajoyWe have to change economic policy: create confidence, foster investment, cut the public deficit, restructure taxation, and reform the labor laws.
Mariano RajoyTalking and pledging is very easy but governing is slightly more difficult, the policy reforms that we've implemented have worked, and backtracking would be a blunder. When I see that, with the help of Podemos, the Socialists wants to change everything we've done, I just think it's bad for Spain.
