Unusual, but two members of the PSOE with high responsibility give a different version in the middle of the autonomous campaign in Madrid about their true plans with a chapter as essential as taxes.
On the one hand, the socialist candidate to preside over the Community of Madrid,
Ángel Gabilondo
, promised on March 22 not to raise any taxes, not even that of Heritage and Successions, because "this is not the time."
He assured that he would not touch them "for two years", alluding to ending the legislature in the summer of 2023 without any increase.
However, the Minister of Finance,
María Jesús Montero
, has dismantled such an important electoral promise this Monday by ensuring that it is willing to introduce fiscal changes in 2022 and, in any case, that there is a new regional financing model in 2023 that, if it implies the "harmonization" of Assets and Successions that she defends, it will mean a tax hike in the Community of Madrid, among other territories.
Montero has affirmed that in the tax figures "linked to wealth and patrimony, to inheritance, to donations" the Ministry "has a special interest in hearing which is the formula that the people who are working in the academic field or in the professional field, such as those that make up the committee of experts ".
The deadline for the committee created this Tuesday is February 2022
, with which, if it waits for them, it can launch the "harmonization" within a new financing system for January 2023.
On the other hand, the minister has not closed the door to act before the end of its work by the new committee of experts, which has been presented at the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
"The idea of the Government is that, regardless of whether the final document may be around a year old, they are
anticipating some work on the tax figures in which they are making progress, so that the Government can take them into account for the preparation of the 2022 Budgets
but also for the new regional financing model, which is also an indissoluble element of this tax reform, because the regional system needs more resources ".
"When we have the first installments of these issues, we will submit them for discussion and it will be part of the political analysis so that their implementation is as fast as we can."
Montero is one of the champions against the so-called "fiscal dumping" in Madrid and made a pact with Esquerra last year to try to dismantle it.
The president of the Community of Madrid,
Isabel Díaz Ayuso
, has reacted quickly on her official twitter account: "Masks out!", She exclaimed after Montero's announcement, because it is in line with her thesis that Gabilondo has lied to the ensure that you will not touch taxes, because your real plan is to raise them.
"He has always wanted to give a fiscal ax," has also reacted the Minister of Finance,
Javier Fernández Lasquetty
.
"They are not capable of hiding fifteen days in a row," he pointed out, putting at 2,000 euros per Madrid, the harmonization that Montero intends to promote.
However, the leader of Más Madrid,
Iñigo Errejón
, has assured this Tuesday in La
Sexta
, before the Montero calendar transcended, that for him it is not a red line to raise taxes to agree with Gabilondo: "The priority is to form a government ".
Asked if it would not be a drink for him to govern with Gabilondo without raising the Estate Tax, Errejón has admitted that "there are so many drinks in politics ..." and that his idea would be to persevere for later.
But for drinks, seeing in the middle of the campaign as a central promise of a candidate to govern was dismantled by a finance minister from his party.
