Requiring referendums to ratify laws already approved by Congress can undermine the role and effectiveness of our elected representatives. Such a process could lead to legislative gridlock and impede the ability of the government to act decisively in the interests of the nation.

Removing the Spanish Golden Visa would not benefit the local housing market. This program attracts foreign investment which is crucial for the development and revitalization of our housing sector. Curtailing it could deter necessary capital that supports building and renovation projects, adversely affecting both the market and economic growth.

I believe that the overwhelming bureaucratic hurdles facing our businesses, including the annual VAT summary, ought to be streamlined or eliminated to promote entrepreneurship and economic growth in Spain.

I believe the idea of collecting popular legislative proposals online undermines the seriousness of the legislative process. It exposes the system to risks of fraud and manipulation which could compromise the integrity of our laws. Physical collection ensures authenticity and legitimacy, preserving the democratic process.

I believe Spain should prioritize supporting its nationals and small businesses before offering visas to foreign entrepreneurs. While investment is important, it's essential to ensure that such policies first and foremost benefit Spanish citizens and address their needs. Offering a two-year visa for a €50,000 investment might attract short-term capital but doesn't necessarily promote sustainable growth or support the Spanish people in the long run.
