SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, December 14 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The four groups that support the Government of the Canary Islands – CC, PP, ASG and AHI – have finalized this Thursday the first budget of the legislature with the approval of a commission opinion that both the PSOE and NC-BC understand that it remains ” impregnated” by the “ultra-right” ideology of Vox, which has had more partial amendments approved against six of the left-wing groups.
Next year’s budget amounts to a total of 11,301 million, 11% more than the initial budget of the previous year and 3.3% above real spending, and with two thirds oriented to real spending, it does not include the electoral promise of CC and PP reduce the general IGIC rate from 7% to 5%
Socorro Beato, of the Nationalist Group, has highlighted the “prudence” of the accounts given the magnitudes that are known so far and that real spending is “prioritized” and has put on the table, for example, that at the proposal of NC- BC, fuel price surveillance mechanisms are incorporated in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
Fernando Enseñat, from the Popular Group, has highlighted that the budget is the “largest in the history” of health, with 576 million more and that it allows “covering the hole” in recipes left by the ‘Flower Pact’.
He has pointed out that he complies with the social services law if the funds agreed upon at the Sectoral Conference arrive, that investments reach 1,088 million – 121 million – and that there is more social spending and investment than with the previous Government, with tax reductions of about 240 million.
He has called the amendments presented by PSOE and NC-BC “disappointing” because they ask for works in education “that cannot be done” and do not detail which items to cancel – a point denied by NC-BC -. “We have to change the chip and not paint the budgets pretty and take the photo,” he indicated.
TWENTY AMENDMENTS MADE FOR MORE THAN THREE MILLION
Raúl Acosta (AHI) has highlighted that more than 20 amendments have been negotiated by just over 3 million “and from all groups”, more than 40% of the Education area, which shows that “the deadline has not been passed.” roller” and an attempt has been made to “accommodate all possible currents”.
Melodie Mendoza has valued the integration of the ICHH into the organic structure of the Canarian Health Service (SCS) and the increase in funds for the Agri-Food Quality Institute (ICCA) and has asked all groups to be “sensible” to approve the budget.
“We cannot afford to continue with an extended one, it would be a mistake,” he indicated, stressing that once it is approved it is up to the parliamentary groups to “carry out responsible control” of the management of the items.
Javier Nieto (Vox) has regretted that a “sword” remains over all the policies that his party defends and that its proposals to help families have not been taken into account.
His colleague and spokesperson, Nicasio Galván, does not understand that funds from “gender ideology” and “climate fanaticism” are not diverted to help families and although he has valued the “respect” of some groups in the Chamber and lawyers, he does not understand “red lines” and “ideological sectarianism”. “There have been groups that have not even wanted to sit down,” he said.
NC-BC: A BUDGET FULL OF “MISTANTINES”
Esther González (NC-BC) has charged against the “blunders” of the budget and the non-compliance with the laws of education, culture and social services while Carmen Hernández has questioned that the accounts are “impregnated” with the ideology of Vox against the amendments from his own group, since only one of 169 was approved. “There you go,” he noted.
He has criticized the cuts in equality at a time of “incessant increase” in violence against women and the “territorial damage” generated by the “pressure” of deputies from some islands against Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, for example.
He has also said that the budget “puts school transport contracts at risk” and understands that “it is neither social nor prudent” because apart from not lowering the IGIC, “they have lowered taxes on the rich” with the inheritance tax bonus. and donations.
Manuel Hernández (PSOE) has described the budget as “disappointing” because it “forgets” about the social majority, without any measure to alleviate the rise in mortgages or the shopping basket and with ASG and AHI as “stone guests” .
He has also indicated that they “mistreat” the primary sector, do not respond to the water emergency in the eastern islands and point to the “most expensive and numerous” Government in the history of the archipelago and favoring the upper classes.
He has criticized that the Executive is “more comfortable” accepting amendments from Vox than from the PSOE – only five out of a total of 324 – and applying the “parliamentary roller.”
