Representatives of Teruel, Basin And Soria They exploded against the PSOE and the government for using their funding as an example to defend the concert in Catalonia. “Catalonia will receive in one year what the three provinces will receive in 1,000 years,” illustrated the spokesman for Teruel Exist and former representative of Congress. Tomas Guitarte.
“Every company [en estas provincias] He receives an average bonus of 18 euros per month for each worker he hires. That represents 25 million euros per year. On the other hand, according to the technicians who have studied the concert, it could be equivalent to 22 billion euros per year for Catalonia,” he added.
The conflict broke out last Monday, when the spokesman for the PSOE executive, Esther Penasaid that in Spain there are already territories that benefit from unique financing. He gave the example of the provinces of Teruel, Cuenca and Soria, which have fiscal “singularities”.
These words generated a huge dust that even the PSOE as a whole did not support. The spokesman of the socialists in the Congress, Patxi Lopezsaid that “it is not comparable” while the Catalan financing speaks of autonomies and that of Teruel, Cuenca and Soria speaks of provinces. However, the government spokesperson, Pilar Alegría, supported Esther Peña.
After this agitation, the representatives of Cuenca now, Soria now! And Teruel exists They went to Madrid this Thursday to criticize the position of the PSOE and the government. “They wanted to create a huge hoax on the part of those who criticized fake news and divert attention as if these three provinces were receiving special treatment,” Guitarte said.
As explained, the tax credit concerns the social security contributions of companies, which has little to do with the Catalan concert. In addition, although the agreement would be permanent, this aid will be reviewed at the end of this year and depends on the approval of the general state budgets, something that is not yet known if the government will have the support to carry it out.
“It is miserable and petty to play with the crust given to the poor to justify the food given to the rich,” Guitarte added.
The spokesperson for Soria Now! in the Cortes of Castile and León, Angel Cenastated that Pilar Alegría “lies when she makes this comparison” and that Esther Peña “insults” by doing the same. In addition, he took the opportunity to demand an apology and the commitment of the PSOE to renew the aid that companies receive.
However, the one who proved to be the toughest was the deputy of the Cortes of Aragon. Pilar Bujalso from Teruel Existe. Speaking of Alegría, he said that “this country does not deserve such an ignorant minister.” “With his statements, what he has demonstrated is the zero commitment of this government to understand, know and want to apply the aid to the operation. We do not deserve it,” he assured.
“We don’t just want to be asked for forgiveness, but for the measures to be implemented. We want to be governed for ourselves as for the rich children of this country. Being few in number does not take away our rights,” he said. added.
