The former president of Aragon and general secretary of the Aragonese PSOE, Javier Lambán, appeared “concerned” by the fiscal pact that Salvador Illa signed with ERC for his inauguration. According to him, if this agreement were “completed”, it would cause a “very serious loss for the country”, to the point that would run the risk of becoming a “failed state” “again”.“.
This is how he spoke this Monday from Barcelona in statements to the media, a few minutes before beginning the presentation of his memoirs at the Aragonese Center in Barcelona. There he stated that This pact would “reduce the capacity of the State” to guarantee equality and territorial cohesion by losing the tax power “of more than 30% of GDP”, by uniting it with the provincial treasuries of the Basque Country and Navarre.
Actually, Lambán categorically denies the argument that Catalonia is “the least well-funded community”. and advocates a reform of regional financing without “in any way” leading the region to “separate or segregate itself” from the system. “This would amount to breaking up the common treasury and depriving the Spanish Treasury of several billions.. “Spain could not survive,” he said.
