European conservatives are presented as the only guarantors of economic growth

USPA NEWS - European conservatives integrated into the European People's Party (EPP) closed its congress in Madrid, with a call to the confidence of the voters, to whom they presented as the only guarantor of economic growth.

European conservative leaders like German Chancellor Angela Merkel, former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, the Portuguese Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho and former French Prime Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, clothed to host the congress, the Spanish Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, to who offered their support ahead of the general elections on December 20. With an eye to the election date, Rajoy focused his closing speech at the conference to highlight the merits of conservative policies, which he said offered "political and economic stability."

The European People's Party, Rajoy said, "we are not a fashionable drink or a fever a day or an old failed idea masquerading as news" but are the only guarantee "a place of peace, of growth, comfort and hope" in Europe. "Faced with the new and old demagogues, we consolidated the great European heritage and aim to employment as the best social policy," said Spanish Prime Minister, and argued that "the European People's Party is the party of the people, we are called on the difficult situations that bring stability and efficiency. Our target also is to consolidate a more open, responsive and democratic Europe."

Against that, the European "socialists are in the red, intolerable deficits, negative growth and job losses. Now, in addition, all kinds of parties in Europe fix everything in half an hour, they have never ruled, and when they do, we have some experiences arise everywhere across Europe," Rajoy recalled, stressing that popular Europeans "are the political family that has nurtured this great European heritage that is the welfare state, and we have done because we have been rigorous in thinking how we could finance it and make it in the long term."
