Wealth and inheritance taxes fall within the remit of the Comunidades Autonomas, not central government.
According to their programa electoral , they didn't actually say they'd abolish Wealth Tax, however they did say they'd encourage the CAs to get rid of it for small and medium sums by raising the limit at which it is applied - similarly for inheritance tax.
It's on page 157 & 158 of that doc (pdf pages - p156-7 printed pages)
