Valencia supports Madrid and rejects Montero's financing criteria as arbitrary

• Hacienda Montero begins the financing reform with a "victory" for Valencia and the rest's discontent

In its proposal to

, the Ministry of Finance tried to square the circle, that is, to make everyone happy. To do this, it presented a document in December that revolved around the

-defended by the side headed by the Valencian Community and Andalusia-, but correcting it in practice with

to satisfy the so-called emptied Spain, the front in which Galicia or Castilla y León are inscribed.

But if that first "skeleton" of the new distribution of regional funds did not finish convincing almost anyone, the autonomy that applauded it not only now takes a step back, but also warns that the Ministry's proposal may fall directly into arbitrariness .

In other words, objective criteria would not be applied for the distribution of the cake, as Madrid has been denouncing.

This is the main conclusion of the report prepared by the Valencian experts on the

proposed by the Ministry to overcome the current system, which has expired since 2014. The 79-page Valencian document bluntly questions María Jesús Montero's proposal , and will be fully assumed by the Generalitat to send as

In other words, it is not clear how they are calculated or why, in the opinion of the Treasury, they should represent 3% of the resources.

In the opinion of the Valencian report, the calculation of the needs of each region "should be limited to understandable population variables due to their simplicity and transparency in their calculation", so that they are not

The report emphasizes this line: "At no time do the quantitative techniques used allow us to obtain the weights proposed for the corrective variables, giving them a weight of 3%-4% based on what the current model does and on unsubstantiated claims."

Therefore, in the opinion of the Valencian experts, the Ministry's document "cannot be considered a sufficient proposal to tackle the necessary and urgent reform of the current financing system".

What is proposed from the Valencian Community is the

In short, go to a scenario "without more

funds that, as is happening now, distort the allocation derived from the adjusted population to justify that of the
