Euskaraz irakurri: Aurrekontuetako partidetan 450 milioi euroko aldaketak proposatu thisu EH Bilduk

The negotiations on the budgets for 2023 between the Basque government and the opposition parties, except Vox, started this Wednesday with a predisposition to listen and call for dialogue from all parties, but with distant positions.

Economy and Finance Minister Pedro Azpiazu, who had already warned that there will be no structural changes in the budgets before 2023, first of all met with EH Bildu, the main opposition group and current budget partner of the government.

As explained by the spokesperson for EH Bildu Maddalen Iriarte After the meeting, the coalition proposed to change the allocation of 450 million from the Basque budget for 2023 in order to address “situations of deterioration of public services, especially in Osakidetza, the cost of housing, the energy crisis, the serious situation of the primary sector and the loss of roots of strategic companies”.

“EH Bildu has made a “common sense” proposal to the councilor to initiate “structural changes” as the current challenges cannot be addressed with palliative measures alone,” he stressed after insisting the meeting “come too late” .

The coalition also imposes another condition to reach an agreement: that the debate on taxes be opened, something that lawyers have recognized as ‘pending’, according to Iriarte.

Elkarrekin Podemos-IU will also defend the need for fiscal reform in his meeting with counsel, although his main demand to promote the approval of the budgets will be that they contain concrete measures for “the materialization” of the education pact. The spokeswoman for the Purple Coalition, Miren Gorrotxategi, recalled that this pact stipulates that there must be sufficient public offer in all areas of education, but there are no public centers in municipalities such as Usurbil, Lazkao, Ibarra, Loiu and Lapuebla.

Therefore, “specific mechanisms (in the budgets) also foreseen in the Education Pact, such as the publication of centers” are needed. “We are not coming out of the education pact, but we are demanding that it be followed and if the government does not follow the law, we will not support the law (which will result from it),” he warned.

The PP will also attend the meeting “with the best of intentions”, although it believes that the government will limit itself to explaining the bills and believes that the “incentives” to submit opposition proposals have been “reduced”. given its absolute majority in parliament.

Like EH Bildu and Elkarrekin Podemos-IU, the PP also wants to talk about taxes, albeit with an opposite approach, as it advocates lowering taxes on households and businesses so that this money can be used “to restore economic activity.” to get going”.

However, the opposition’s various tax claims will not be included in the budget negotiations, as government spokesman Bingen Zupiria has warned, as the talks will be limited to the budgetary scope and jurisdiction of the executive and taxation – he recalled – depends on of the delegates.
