The Government does not guarantee that the discount on fuel for professionals and the reduction of VAT on food will be extended beyond June. The first vice president of the Executive, Nadia Calviño, stressed that Europe is asking that the aid be withdrawn.
What "is" expected to be extended throughout the year, he added, is the "reduction inelectricity taxes", as it is included in the General State Budget. The vice-president has avoided guaranteeing that the VAT reduction will be maintained during the second half of the year.
