The President of the Government, Mariano Rajoy, said that the challenge for Spain is to maintain the economic policy and that two things are needed for that: "Entrepreneurs, people who take risks, work hard and create jobs, well-being and wealth", and a stable administrative framework, "a government", because he believes that "Spain cannot allow the elections to be repeated again". "It would be a ridiculous notion of extraordinary proportions", he said.

During his visit to the Mahou-San Miguel brewery in Alovera (Guadalajara), the acting President of the Government referred to an unemployment reduction "of 124,000 people" in July, meaning that "unemployment is falling in Spain at a rate of 8.7% per year", he said. Similarly, Mariano Rajoy highlighted the 98,000 increase in the number of people registered with the Social Security system, "three times higher than last year".

Encouraging sign for the future

The President of the Government said that the data "are very good but, above all, are an encouraging sign for the future and show that the great national objective for the next four years to have 500,000 more people in work each year can be achieved".

"To do so, we need to maintain the economic policies implemented in the last four years, which have shown themselves to be positive for the Spanish people as a whole", said the President of the Government.

Government

As regards the formation of a government, Mariano Rajoy insisted on "the need for a government that can be formed as soon as possible" and "that can govern". "If we have a government with stability, if we have a government that can govern, we will generate confidence and, with the help of entrepreneurs, we will achieve that great national objective of two million jobs", stressed the President of the Government.
