The Andorran elections of this Sunday are the most disputed of all time. This electoral campaign was dominated by issues like Housing, the relantionship with the European Union, welfare policies and abortion. I enlight here some of the proposals of the main political parties in Andorra.

Democrates per Andorra / Democrats for Andorra



 –> The party refuses to decriminalize abortion, instead it prefers to economically support women that choose to abort outside the country

 –> Creation of public-private Real Estate Fund to recover innabited and abandoned buildings

 –> Incentive banks to rent empty apartments they posess

 –> Continue the negotiations for an assotiation agreement with the European Union but keep migrant quotas and public monopolies like the electric company of Andorra and Andorra Telecom

 –> Keep developing the airport Andorra/La Seu d’urgell so it can receive regular flights from european capitals in the next 4 years

 –> Progressively increase minimum wage so it can reach 1200 euros in 2023

 A new and more inclusive law for disabled people

Partit Socialdemocrata / Social democratic party

 –> Increase income tax to 20% for those who earn more than 140k a year. Current income tax is a 10% for everyone.
