Economic plan without any rigor

Record deficit, debt and spending, with no guarantees of recovery.

This is the dangerous formula that governs the economic performance of the Government in the midst of a crisis and that independent experts observe with concern.

This is the case of Cristina Herrero, president of AIReF, who warns today in our pages of the risks of not complying with the Executive's macroeconomic framework due to her excessive optimism and maintains that it must be accompanied by a disciplined plan with careful spending control.

s that prevail in the little we know about Sánchez's program

, full of propaganda and devoid of rigor.

Thus, the suspension of fiscal rules is not accompanied by a necessary adjustment plan.

It has gone from pretending

the coffers of autonomies and municipalities to open the tap without supervision.

And, although the public push is inevitable to respond to the pandemic, it is irresponsible to shoot the spending ceiling to maximum without minimum stability objectives.

Herrero trusts that, despite everything, "the Budgets are prudent."

Although it is enough to listen to the radical wing of the government coalition, which insists on excluding the constitutionalists and putting the future of the country in the hands of the partners of the Frankenstein investiture, to worry. The president of AIReF also points out that it is "essential" For economic recovery, European funds should be used for "productive investments".

And he throws a dart at the Government: "The information it has given is insufficient."

And it is that, far from seeking sustainability, what would happen because the aid is accompanied by structural reforms, everything indicates that

.

This is evidenced by the fact that Sánchez announces that he will squeeze the funds in the three years that remain in his mandate and even assures that if all the money is not received in this period, he will throw out debt.

Nor does the ability of Moncloa to distribute aid to its liking, without even an agency to execute it, does not generate trust, which invites us to think about the most caciquil patronage, especially given the lack of transparency that this Executive boasts. In short, recovery plan sins of unjustified triumphalism even if only inconsistency is appreciated.

There are the chest blows on job creation.

Despite the fact that we are talking about the largest public outlay in history, the Government anticipates that many fewer jobs will be generated than before the crisis.

Getting out of this crisis requires a rigor that is conspicuous by its absence.
