The Economy, Finance and Budget Committee of the Basque Parliament, voting for the Basque governing parties, has approved several partial amendments tabled by the opposition. Budgets 2023. These are amendments to €40 million.
One of the amendments is that of Elkarrekin Podemos-IU extend transport support. The purple coalition and the Basque government parties have voted for a 12 million euro amendment that includes a 50% discount on transport within the budget law. The left-wing coalition proposed a EUR 72 million amendment to extend the reductions throughout 2023, but eventually agreed with the PNV and PSE-EE an amendment of EUR 12 million that does not take into account “additional appropriations”.
The PNV has criticized EH Bildu because it is not included in that agreement. “Unfortunately, EH Bildu has again closed the doors to dialogue. They could have gotten 12 million in transport aid, but they didn’t want to,” said Jeltzale’s representative, Alaitz Zabala.
EH Bildu MP Leire Pinedo has assured that the deal “does not fully comply with the parliamentary mandate”, and that the ruling parties wanted to “avoid a role image” and “make up the final picture”, but the reality is that they don’t do that. They really had the will to look for agreements.
11.5 million have been agreed with the PP+Cs group strengthen investments in Osakidetza. Also in the health field, the Commission has adopted two amendments tabled by EH Bildu, totaling one and a half million, op mental health.
The rest of the amendments are aimed at helping families with sons and daughters, working in pre-school and primary education centers, promoting rental housing and hiring labor consultants from Lanbide and Osalan inspectors.
A total of 700 amendments have been tabled in the Committee on Budgets, for an estimated value of almost EUR 1.5 billion. Earlier, the PNV and PSE-EE had rejected the amendments submitted by the opposition parties in plenary session. The executive and the opposition reproached each other for their lack of will to negotiate, and Minister Azpiazu announced that the government parties would approve some partial amendments worth 30 million euros.
