The 2025 budgets for Castile and León They begin their journey. They do this under the cover of the “OK” that the Cortes gave to the spending ceiling, the first step to be able to approve the accounts, the most expensive in history, which will now have to be debated in Parliament with possible amendments. for their improvement.
“From the Junta de Castilla y León, we will do everything possible to contribute to the realization of this agreement,” announced the Minister of Economy and Finance, Carlos Fernández Carriedo.
“We will have the opportunity in the future to debate. The preliminary draft budget constitutes a good basis for this. And the Junta de Castilla y León wants to promote this path through dialogue, to reach the broadest possible agreement,” he assured.
There was applause in Parliament when this was confirmed, but it is only from the popular side, it is time for calculation and reaching out to reach an agreement with the groups. It will be time to check if Mañueco’s decision was serious or if it was a song in the sun.
He announced it during this Tuesday’s session Luis Tudanca and it was accomplished. The Socialist parliamentary group abstained in the vote and thus authorized the maintenance of the spending ceiling. His former government partner, Voicecarried out his threat and voted a categorical “no”, as did the UPL-Soria Ya group and the lawyer of Unidas Podemos, Pablo Fernández.
The lawyers of the Mixed Group Pedro Pascual Muñoz, from Por Ávila, and Francisco Igea also abstained, as did the socialists.
Today’s plenary session made it possible to move forward with the accounts. Now is the time for them to stop being a draft and become a project, which will come when they are approved by the Governing Council and they enter the Cortes to be processed, and that does not seem easy .
A gesture from the socialists who now want Mañueco to take note and negotiate the budgets in the Cortes. “The PSOE demonstrates, once again, that it is up to the task. Now we have to prove it,” said socialist Tudanca.
An idea your partner entertained this morning Rosa Rubio, who predicted that there would be no budgets. “You have dealt a blow to these Cortes to all the parliamentary groups, you have played with marked cards,” he commented.
For this reason, he asked Mañueco to approve them at tomorrow’s Council and register them on Friday. “If he doesn’t do it, he will have deceived the people of Castile and León.”
It is for this reason that Mañueco’s mission is now to find allies to obtain the yes of the majority of the House. We need a yes or an abstention from the PSOE or Vox, and that already seems more complicated. This is how it was presented on the table by the opposition which recognized that “the movement went wrong” and recognized that these were “false budgets”, which it presented with the intention not to move forward.
“Starting base”
The Minister of Economy and Finance, Carlos Fernández Carriedo, was responsible for defending this spending ceiling and budgets drawn up “with rigor” and “prudence”. “So thank you,” said the Council spokesperson in his message of thanks to all the lawyers.
Carriedo believes that this text constitutes the “basis” for future negotiations with the parliamentary groups on a budgetary pact. He also recalled that the ceiling on non-financial expenditure had been presented alongside the bill to provide “greater transparency”.
This non-financial expenditure ceiling for 2025 sets the maximum limit of non-financial expenditure at 13,490.50 million euros. “Amounts which are part of a macroeconomic scenario approved by the Independent Authority for Budgetary Responsibility (AIReF). In fact, and I quote word for word, the AIREF emphasizes that “it supports the economic growth forecasts proposed by Castilla y León,” he said during his staging.
The opposition
Opposition groups have defended the importance of having a spending cap, but insisted that Bring budgets to the Cortes so you can debate, negotiate and agree. Thus, the spokesperson for the Joint Group, Francisco Igea recalled that “politics is done in Parliament”.
Carlos Menendez of Voxwas very harsh with his former partner and criticized him for not wanting to discuss these accounts. “They are only interested in power,” he said. In addition, he criticized the fact that there were negotiations with the PSOE. “What they are doing is putting Christian clothing on the evil doll of politics,” he criticized.
