The PP barons explode against Pedro Sánchez for using campaign financing: "It's shameful"

The autonomous governments led by the PP have exploded this Thursday against the electoral use of regional financing that, in his opinion, Pedro Sánchez is making. The President of the Government in office announced Wednesday at an election rally in the Valencian Community that he will finally release the 7,000 million euros of the deliveries to accounts and the liquidation of VAT that correspond to the autonomies, when until now he had assured that legally the Government could not do it when it was in office.

"I find it shameful, a partisan use of unprecedented public institutions," assures EL MUNDO the president of the Region of Murcia, Fernando López Miras . "What worries me the most is that it is Pedro Sánchez's usual way of proceeding: first, a State Advocacy report is invented to suffocate us; later, after calling the elections, that report disappears. And now I have to find out a meeting of the PSOE that they are going to pay us what is owed to Murcia, "laments López Miras.

And it is that the regional leaders of the PP (the party governs in five autonomies: Madrid, Andalusia, Galicia, Castilla y León and Murcia) criticize the bottom of the announcement of Sanchez, but also the form: in an electoral rally, instead of in the Council of Ministers, in the Fiscal and Financial Policy Council, or even in direct contacts with the regional presidents, who have repeatedly asked for and have been denied.

On the contrary, Sanchez not only announced at the rally that his Government will "comply with the autonomous communities and update the deliveries on account before November 10", just during the election period, but also criticized the leaders of the PP for "tearing the garments "for those amounts instead of having facilitated the formation of a Government that was not in office and could have released them.

That is to say, the acting president transmits to the regional leaders that if they wanted to receive the funds that correspond to their parties they should have supported his investiture. A statement that, in any case, is inconsistent with the fact that now the Executive, who is still in office and can be much longer, says he can make the payments.

"What aggravates the matter more is that we do not have any official communiqué that informs us in the slightest about that matter," the 'popular' baron Murcia. Not surprisingly, the Minister of Finance of the region, Javier Celdrán, has requested in writing five meetings in the last two months with the Minister of Finance in office, María Jesús Montero , and this has not answered "anything", nor He has given him "no appointment," according to López Miras.

On the contrary, Montero has met for this issue with a socialist regional president, Ximo Puig (Valencian Community), who was precisely the one who shared a meeting yesterday with Pedro Sánchez. "Sanchez himself answered my request for a meeting in Moncloa telling me that he does not receive me because he is on duty ... and that same week he will eat with the president of Cantabria," López Miras said, for whom this episode is "quite creepy and irresponsible. "

MADRID'S COMMUNITY

The Minister of Finance of the Community of Madrid, Javier Fernández-Lasquetty , assures this newspaper that "it does not seem that a rally is the best place to make announcements in a subject that should have the highest level of institutional relationship." "The Government could have unlocked these funds from the beginning. What happens is that it has not wanted to do it. If it is now going to stop making partisan use of the autonomous financing funds, let it be done as soon as possible. We want to see facts, no words, "adds Lasquetty.

In the surroundings of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, president of the Community of Madrid, they underline the symbolism that Sánchez has made the announcement in Valencia. "I do not think it is by chance. I think Sanchez does this because the autonomous communities governed by the PSOE can no longer. They are financially asphyxiated and have told him that if he does not release the funds they will not help him in the campaign," They add in the Puerta del Sol.

In the Xunta de Galicia they share the pessimistic vision: "They have this problem on the table since February, but curiously they have found the solution in an election campaign, despite the fact that they themselves said that at this time (with the Government in office) it was illegal do it ", say sources close to Alberto Núñez Feijóo. "Casualties, we suppose," they add ironically in the Galician executive.

The announcement made by Pedro Sánchez came just the same day that the Central Electoral Board reproached the Government spokeswoman, Isabel Celaá, to use the press conference on Fridays after the Council of Ministers to conduct an election campaign. The accusations against the Executive for the electoral use of the institutions multiply.
