  • 10-N.EH Bildu wants the Basque Parliament to see Casado, Rivera and Abascal in the electoral campaign in Euskadi

The staff of the PP has left this morning in a hurry to criticize the Ministry of Finance for the possibility that, after having blocked 7,200 million euros of regional financing, they will disburse them in the pre-campaign. The leader of the party, Pablo Casado, and the main barons and popular regional leaders have raised the tone against the acting minister María Jesús Montero for the "blackmail" that would mean disbursing payments on account (4,700 million) and the liquidation of VAT ( 2,500) in full pre-election frenzy, after having wielded that it was impossible to do it while on duty.

To Casado, that possibility, advanced today by El País, seems "one more step in the very negative instrumentalization of institutions and public resources to campaign." In his view, "red lines that had never crossed democracy were being crossed" after, now that there are elections, "the government says it can buy electoral wills with the money of all taxpayers, when until four days ago it was impossible and there was a report from the Advocacy that made it impossible. " "It has been done with the CIS, with the TVE, with the Royal Decrees and already threatens to do so with pensions," he lamented.

The PP even studies taking possible legal action, if the Executive's turn is consummated. "Whenever you now accept what is the solution, we will analyze the responsibilities that you may have incurred for previously denying that solution," Genoa sources say.

The 'popular' proposed a compromise solution, which went through articulating an unpaid credit line (that is, with an interest rate of 0%) to advance the funds to the autonomies, which are suffering from treasury tensions and are endangered the payment of health, education and supplier invoices. The Acting Executive rejected that proposal, but now believes that the funds could be released in the coming weeks, since that political guideline would not commit the next Government to leave the polls.

In Genoa they believe that it is an "improper blackmail of a democracy." Genoa sources say: "Good proof that there were no problems to transfer the funds (update of deliveries to account and settlement pending VAT) is that now they recognize that it can be done even if it is a functioning Government." Just "when the elections are imminent."

The president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, has ironic about the arguments of the acting minister of the Treasury: "Mrs. Montero, when do we believe her, when she said she couldn't pay us or now that" she finds a loophole "because there are elections ? " His counterpart in Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, added: "Sanchez has lied to the Castilians and Leonese putting the quality of public services at risk. Now that the elections are called, the Government does find a way to settle its debt with the Autonomous Communities. We do not accept any more deception. "

"Another electoral maneuver of Pedro Sánchez", synthesized the president of Murcia, Fernando López Miras. "First they suffocate, then blackmail and now that elections are coming, they give us alms," said the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

Married sees the Bildu veto on the right as "a social disease"

Bildu's proposal to veto the presence in the Basque Country of PP, Citizens and Vox in the electoral campaign has provoked a strong response in the popular ranks. "Of course I will continue to go to the Basque Country. It is a social disease to think that someone cannot visit an autonomous community for having an ideology or for defending freedom," said the president of the PP, Pablo Casado.

"I say this with concern, because Bildu has been essential for the PSN to reach the Government in Navarra. In democracy not everything is acceptable. Bildu cannot be a partner either in Navarra, or in the Basque Country or anywhere," he insisted Married, for whom that attempt to declare him "persona non grata" "is a symbol of what the Basque Country has been going on for too long: there are children who are not happy because they are children of civil guards, officials who are not pleasant for not speaking the official language and families that have to leave the Basque country because they do not agree with exclusive nationalism. "
