The Government is already clear about how it will distribute the fund of up to 11,000 million euros announced a few weeks ago by the president, Pedro Sánchez, and that it will approve tomorrow in an extraordinary Council of Ministers.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Finance have already finalized the design of a plan based on three pillars: the mollar,

of 7,000 million, will be direct aid

for small companies and the self-employed, which will be distributed through the autonomous communities;

another of

1,000 million

to recapitalize medium-sized companies;

and another to restructure credits guaranteed by the ICO that will manage the bank, of up to

3,000 million.

The plan must be approved this Friday in the extraordinary council of ministers that was convened this week after the Executive

failed to agree before the ordinary council of ministers last Tuesday

.

The last-minute offer from United We Can, demanding at least 8,000 million direct aid in the aid package, evidenced the different sensitivities that existed within the Executive.

Although the minister spokesperson attributed the delay in her presentation to "technical problems", Vice President Nadia Calviño even told her government partners that the design of this plan was not "an auction of quantities" and that a serious matter "was not resolve with a tweet ".

Economic Affairs and Finance have always gone hand in hand in this negotiation.

Once it was clear that it was going to be built on three pillars, the big problem they saw in the package announced by the president was not so much the distribution of the amounts, as doing it

with legal guarantees

.

In other words, if the Government assumed the distribution of direct aid, in compensation for regional restrictions, it could open the door to a barrage of claims against the Government itself.

Finally, the communities will be in charge of distributing said aid, although that does not mean that they are not conditioned.

The Government will approve tomorrow a fund of 7,000 million that it will distribute to the CCAA so that they help SMEs and the self-employed to alleviate their

fixed costs.
