The first vice president of the Government, Nadia Calviño, pointed out this Friday that the presence of 44 charges for loss of ETA, seven of them for blood crimes, on the EH Bildu lists is “absolutely incomprehensible”.

This was indicated in response to the media in Santiago de Compostela, pointing out that he does not know "which leaders of a political party may consider that they may want to harm the victims and, on the other hand, go back."

Calviño has stressed that ETA "stopped killing 12 years ago" and Spain has left "behind" a "very black and painful" period of its history. "No one should want to reopen and activate those feelings that I believe oppress the hearts of all Spaniards," he added.

In assessing the CPI data for the month of April, he did not rule out eliminating the VAT reduction on food introduced in January when responding to this question that they will observe "how inflation evolves".

Calviño indicated that the government's measures have allowed inflation to drop "quickly" with a drop of five points in five months and, in this month of April, a "sharp drop" in food inflation "is allowing a drop in the Underlying inflation".

He pointed out that in these months there is "enormous volatility" in the field of inflation compared to the months of last year when the war in Ukraine began. In particular, he indicated that the levels are "about half" of what they were a year ago.
