Each with its “flavor”, the Junta de Castilla y León and the Socialist Parliamentary Group continue to stretch the rubber of the negotiation of the community budgets for 2025. Without significant progress, but not without completely breaking off the negotiations – although with some insinuations , especially from the PSOE, the only one with Vox to be able to facilitate the approval by the PP of these hypothetical accounts, the Minister of Economy and Finance, Carlos Fernández Carriedo and the leader of socialists, Luis Tudanca, sat down yesterday again at the dialogue table and got up without closing the meetings, but they did not open a certain window of optimism either.
A meeting, yes, in a new scenario after those with the fist and the rose abstained last week and thus facilitated the spending cap. But, Tudanca warns, that’s all, and it is now the government of Alfonso Fernández Mañueco that must act: “The ball is in their court.” The meeting, he said, can be summed up “very simply: either the Governing Council approves the budget project and registers it in the Cortes, or there will be nothing more to say.”
The PSOE wants a firm document to “debate”. “Enough”, he said, “with words, we must take precedence over facts” and “demonstrate that it was not a bluff, a deception and that the project presented October 15 was something more than a ‘power point’ “From the socialist ranks, they demand the “reciprocity” of the PP in the municipal councils, also facilitating the approval of the accounts. “Generosity for generosity’s sake,” Tudanca explained. And, he added, “they will not present an amendment to the entire budget in case the budgets are debated in the House, because “it makes no sense” to approve the spending ceiling and to “knock this revenue quadrant down to the first “opportunity and bills.” This, he assumes, means that the room to include their demands is limited to partial changes within each section, without being able to vary the big numbers.
He nevertheless admitted: “If they are the highest, I don’t think there will be any problem finding the money for the things the Socialist Party is asking for.”, in addition to carrying ideas that can be executed with legal changes thanks to the Accompanying Measures Act and that do not require specific funds. They will send everything to the Council in a document.
The Autonomous Executive has undertaken to “analyze” the proposals that the Socialists will present, “in order to examine to what extent they are included in the preliminary draft Budget and how to approach, where appropriate, the financing possibilities “, they told Carriedo. department. And they reiterated “their desire to keep open the avenues of dialogue with the parliamentary groups with a view to reaching a budgetary pact for 2025”.
Much harsher and more suspicious, the sole lawyer of Podemos, Pablo Fernández, is convinced that the Council “will not approve” the accounts of the Governing Council with which, he assured in statements collected by Ep, ” they will demonstrate, not only that they are liars, but also incompetent and completely useless.
