The Government assumes the fiasco of direct aid and announces a "clarification" of its decree to give more margin to the CCAA

The First Vice President of the Government and Minister of Economic Affairs and for the Digital Transition,

announced this Monday that she is designing a clarification to the direct aid decree so that the autonomous communities, if they wish and still have available resources,

In statements to Telecinco collected by Europa Press, Calviño responded in this way when asked about the complaints of small companies and freelancers that the aid is not arriving because it is only being granted to those who have pending invoices and not to those who have losses due to the Covid but they are not delinquent.

The vice president explained that, from the point of view of the requirements of these grants, for which 7,000 million euros were budgeted, the established criteria are those that appear in the subsidy laws and has specified that what is requested to access This aid is to prove that the billing has fallen as a result of the Covid and that there are outstanding debts, utility bills or financial debts or that the company has had losses and that the partners have assumed them.

"We are preparing

so that the autonomous communities that have resources and that want to make an additional call can do so and can execute (these aid) to the maximum between now and the end of the year", stressed the vice president .

Calviño has recognized that the rhythm in the granting of this aid is varying a lot in the different communities, that some are going faster than others, but he has insisted that the Government is willing to support those regions that are granting the aid more slow.

In any case, he stressed that the fact that in some regions there is a lower demand for these aid shows that all the effort made since March of last year to strengthen the business fabric and avoid widespread bankruptcies is bearing fruit.

Last week Calviño already announced that the Government
