The distribution of funds from the General State Budgets to the autonomous communities has once again opened a new gap between the central government and the two main regions presided over by the Popular Party, Andalusia and Madrid, due to the almost 2,509 million transferred to Catalonia, the autonomy that receives the greatest amount, compared to the 2,318 and 1,305 that the Executive will allocate to both respectively.
The Junta de Andalucía, through its Minister of the Presidency, Antonio Sanz, has been the first to point to Moncloa and point out that
the distribution is "discriminatory" and "anti-statutory" because it does not take into account the population accumulated by the communities in the cast
.
"It is worrying once again that the Government of the nation fails to comply with the Statute of Autonomy, by not granting Andalusia the level of investment that corresponds to it by population," he remarked in statements to the media in Seville.
In fact, the counselor has come to define the autonomous distribution of the Government of Pedro Sánchez as a "punishment" because Catalonia exceeds Andalusia by about 190 million, with almost a million fewer inhabitants.
"
We are clearly discriminated against"
, he stressed.
Then came the turn of the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who started by stating, during the Eduardo Barreiros Foundation Automotive Awards ceremony, "at this time and now that we know the plans for the 2023 Budgets, I I am forced, I am a politician, to claim something that is happening and that is that our Government is going to allocate twice as much investment to Catalonia as to Madrid, this is what there is".
"
I am curious to see how the president explains it to the people of Madrid this Saturday in Getafe
", said the regional president, referring to the act that Pedro Sánchez shares tomorrow with the general secretary of the PSOE in Madrid, Juan Lobato, and the mayor of the town, Sara Hernández.
After her complaints, and in opposition to the distribution of funds, the
popular
leader has claimed the work of foundations such as Eduardo Barreiros.
"
Political money without more does not work, what really moves a country is the effort
, the imagination of its people and people like you", he added after insisting that the Community of Madrid "is already the economic engine of Spain" because "it leads the construction of companies and investment without suffocating them with additional taxes".
"Here we do not punish success or initiative," she has deepened.
