The blow of the Minister of Economy and Finance, Pedro Azpiazuto pass a tax reform at a time of pre-elections and economic uncertainty like the current one makes it less likely to reach an agreement with the opposition on the 2023 budgets.

EH Bildu, Elkarrekin Podemos-IU and PP+Cs participated in the second round meetings with the Basque government to try and agree on the bills, but there has been no rapprochement of positions as the three formations link a possible pact to a tax change, which each side wants in a different sense.

However, a third meeting will come when the three coalitions (the far-right Vox party has been excluded from the negotiations) have analyzed the counterproposals that Azpiazu has handed over to each group, although he has warned them that now is not the time to make fiscal changes.

Azpiazu: “In unstable situations like the current one, no tax reform is necessary”

“In unstable situations like the current one, there is no need for a tax reform. Nor can we ignore the fact that the councils and the General Assemblies will end their legislatures in three months,” as there are regional elections in May, Azpiazu stressed. , who recalled that the government of PNV and PSE has a majority to get the budget alone.

EH Bildu He sees the deal as “very far off”, although his parliamentary spokesman, Maddalen Iriarte, has promised to analyze the government’s counter-offer, which includes posts for €54 million on limiting rents, health, housing, inspection of work , self-consumption of energy and Basque.

“The difference with our proposal (which amounted to 450 million) is very big when we are at a time to invest,” said Iriarte, who regretted that the Basque government is not considering extending the energy bonus, as requested by this group.

In the same vein, the spokesman for Elkarrekin Podemos-IU, Miren Gorrotxategi, has moved his coalition “very far” from the fiscal compact. He has criticized the government’s failure to make an “extraordinary effort” to bring positions closer together and believes that the counter-proposal does not include the most relevant approaches of his group.

So compared to the 511 million put on the table by the purple coalition, Azpiazu has made them an offer of 41 with initiatives in areas similar to those of EH Bildu.

Ever since PP+CsLuis Gordillo believes the executive has “room to maneuver” in committing to tackling a tax reform during budget negotiations.

She also considered that the counteroffer worth 27.5 million and support measures for companies and education are insufficient.
