The Ministry of Finance has announced a distribution of the 7,000 million foreseen among the Autonomous Communities that has generated immediate tension with the Madrid autonomous government.

The Department headed by

María Jesús Montero

grants Andalusia the largest item in absolute terms, 1,109.2 million, followed by Catalonia, with 993 million.

However, the Community of Madrid, with an economic weight similar to that of Catalonia, will receive 30% less, 679 million and is in fifth place in the classification, which has provoked a quick protest from the Government of

Isabel Díaz Ayuso

.

"It is a punishment for political reasons," said the Minister of Finance,

Javier Fernández-Lasquetty.

"We have had the unpleasant surprise of seeing

how Madrid is again punished by the Government of Pedro Sánchez,

" he said shortly after knowing the cast.

Lasquetty has underlined that Madrid is awarded 9% of the pie when it represents 14% of the population and 19% of the economy.

"In other words, Madrid is going to receive 101 euros per inhabitant while 130 come to Catalonia and 128 to Valencia," he criticized.

"It is not possible to continue tolerating that Sánchez punishes in this case the companies, the self-employed and SMEs in Madrid that are having a bad time for political and electoral reasons. It is unfair."

The distribution and the protest coincide with the regional electoral campaign.

According to a statement from the Ministry of Finance, the distribution criterion has been to give priority to the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands with 2,000 million for both, as planned, but which has distributed the remaining 5,000 million

"according to the same indicators and with the same weighting. they have in the REACT EU fund allocation

, only updated. "

Distribution criteria

According to the criteria of the Ministry, collected by Europa Press.

for the first compartment of 5,000 million it is specified that

two-thirds of its amount is distributed according to the relative weight of the income indicator

of each Autonomous Community and City, which measures

the fall in GDP in 2020 moderately

based on the relative prosperity of each one of them.

The income indicator of each autonomy is the figure resulting from dividing the relative weight of each territorial entity in the fall in GDP of 2020 in relation to 2019 by their respective relative prosperity, measured through their per capita income with respect to the per capita income. national capita.

Two ninth parts of the amount are distributed according to the employment indicator, which considers the weighted average between the weight of autonomy in the total of registered unemployed in January 2020 and its contribution to the increase in national registered unemployment from January 31 to end of that exercise.

One-ninth of its amount is distributed according

to the youth unemployment indicator

(16-25 years) which, analogously to the previous criterion, considers the weighted average between the weight of autonomy in the total of young unemployed registered in January 2020 and their contribution to the increase in youth unemployment registered over the past year throughout the country.

As for the second compartment of 2,000 million euros, its distribution will

be made in proportion to its relative weight in the fall in 2020 of Social Security affiliates

in net terms.

This indicator will be measured with the reduction in the annual average number of registered affiliates between 2019 and 2020, discounting the effect of the number of average ERTE workers in 2020.

The Ministry of Finance will carry out the transfer of these resources to the autonomies

in the ten days following in which the agreement that is celebrated with each of these territories becomes effective

.

Although the territorial entities may also request that the release of these funds can be made later.
