Spain ‘cannot put up with more austerity’

World Business Report

Available for over a year

As Spain’s politicians struggle to reach a deal over a new government, Begoña Villacís, a senior figure in the Citizens Party, has told the 91¸£ÀûÉç that austerity doesn’t have to mean higher taxes. She told World Business Report’s Mike Johnson that Spanish people were angry and unsatisfied following six years of austerity. She also criticised the growing number of part-time jobs and temporary contracts in Spain. Mike asked her first whether a fundamental disagreement over the future direction of the economy is blocking the formation of a new government. (Picture: Begoña Villacís, Picture credit: 91¸£ÀûÉç.)
