SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE 24 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The spokesperson for the Popular Parliamentary Group, Luz Reverón, has underscored the approval of the Draft General Budget Law of the Autonomous Community for 2025, stating that they are “cautious, well-balanced accounts that prioritise social expenditure” despite the uncertainty due to the absence of State Budgets for the forthcoming year.
Luz Reverón pointed out that, in light of Sánchez’s “inability”, the Canary Islands Government provides “certainty and transparency with budgets that maintain structural balance, adherence to fiscal regulations, and centre people in political actions”.
Reverón remarked that the regional administration has managed to formulate, without increasing taxes, expansive budgets reflecting a spending rise of 3.3% compared to the previous year, thereby boosting the capacity for non-financial expenditure to 11,678 million euros.
At this juncture, the popular spokesperson reminded that the PSOE and Sumar Government has raised taxes 69 times over the past six years, “making Spain one of the nations with the heaviest fiscal burden in Europe”.
Although a detailed understanding of the regional accounts for 2025 is still pending, the popular deputy celebrated that, with the data unveiled today following the Government Council, the regional budget “continues to implement measures that ensure sustainability and enhance well-being, including, for the first time, access to housing”.
Lastly, Luz Reverón expressed satisfaction that the bill encompasses a package of new tax reductions that not only boost the amount of deductions for Personal Income Tax (IRPF) in the autonomous section but also increase the number of taxpayers eligible to apply them.
