The announcement was made during a press conference following the organization's executive board meeting, held at its Barcelona headquarters. The elections, initially scheduled for July 18, have been moved up by two months to make them “more feasible,” as explained by Sánchez Llibre.
Should no other candidacies be presented before May 8, Sánchez Llibre's re-election would be automatically validated on May 15. Nevertheless, a new executive board would need to be constituted through a consensus process. The president has denied the existence of any opposition or critical currents within the entity.
“"The new date was decided because it is “more feasible."
During the same appearance, Sánchez Llibre outlined the five main pillars of his presidential program. He emphasized the importance of increasing business productivity and competitiveness, as well as “drastically” reducing absenteeism, considering it a priority for freelancers, small, medium, and large companies. To address this issue, he proposed collective bargaining and a state-level pact among employers, public administrations, and trade unions.
Other key points of his program include reducing tax pressure for businesses and families, through the withdrawal of wealth tax, the reduction and bonus of inheritance tax, and the deflation of personal income tax (IRPF). He also highlighted the need to facilitate access to housing, simplify administrative procedures, and ensure efficient infrastructure.
