The Government of the Community of Madrid announces that another 433 Catalan companies have settled in Madrid so far this year.

This is what the vice president of the regional government,

Ignacio Aguado

,

assures EL MUNDO

, who estimates that there are already 3,558 companies with original headquarters in Catalonia that have moved to Madrid since the illegal referendum of 1-O.

For the leader of Ciudadanos, "the attack by the Government and Esquerra Republicana to Madrid with this business exodus is incomprehensible."

"So far this year, 433 companies

have become independent from the fiscal asphyxia imposed by separatism in Catalonia

and have come to Madrid," he says.

The sequence is constant since 2017, according to their data.

After the referendum there was an explosion with 1,035 transfers from Catalonia to Madrid in the last months of that year.

In 2018 there were 1,650 and, despite the fact that the pro-independence leaders have not subsequently spoken of trying unilateral routes again, the exodus has continued in 2019 and 2020. Last year 440 companies did so and until mid-November, the aforementioned 433 with which a rebound with respect to 2019 may occur at the end of the year.

"It is incompressible that they continue attacking us instead of imitating us

. The fiscal model of the Community of Madrid works," says Aguado.

The vice president agrees with President

Isabel Díaz Ayuso

that a battle must be fought to defend Madrid's low-tax model, including the non-application of the Heritage model.

"The PSOE and ERC cannot come to impose their fiscal model on us. As a regional government I already anticipate that we will defend ourselves in all possible channels and ways."

Large companies based in Catalonia such as Abertis or Naturgy moved their headquarters to Madrid, although others such as CaixaBank or Banco Sabadell preferred the Valencian Community.

None of them alleged fiscal reasons as Esquerra Republicana maintains, but of legal stability.

None have returned.
