  • Minimum income.The Government of Pedro Sánchez delves into the preferential treatment of the Basque Country and Navarra

The president of the Andalusian Government, Juanma Moreno (PP), protested this Sunday before Pedro Sánchez about the favorable treatment granted by the central government to the Basque Country and Navarra, the only communities in the country that will be able to manage the minimum income vital . "The others are not?", Moreno launched during the conference of regional presidents with the Prime Minister.

Last Friday, the Government of Pedro Sánchez approved the minimum vital income during an Extraordinary Council of Ministers, a measure that will cover 850,000 families at risk of social exclusion (2.3 million people). Aid will go from 462 to 1,015 euros per household

"We do not question its need," Moreno said, although he has shown Pedro Sánchez the "surprise" when listening to the Minister of Social Security, Jose Luis Escrivá, affirm that only the Basque Country and Navarra are qualified to manage it.

For the President of the Board, it is "somewhat reckless" the argument of the President of the Government that these two communities can manage it because they know how to do it. "The others are not?" , Juanma Moreno has raised.

The President of the Board has also called for "clarity and equity" in the distribution of funds announced by the European Union and "equality" in allowing communities to manage that money.

During the presidents conference, Moreno reiterated his request to the Government so that next June 8, the eight Andalusian provinces go to Phase 3, without leaving behind Granada and Malaga, "as there are no objective data that justify it "

According to the data of the Board, in Andalusia, with almost 8.5 million inhabitants, there are currently 99 people admitted to public and private hospitals , of which 34 are in the ICU. A "hopeful" figure, according to Moreno, which represents a 97% decrease in the number of hospitalizations compared to the day of the "peak" of the pandemic, which was March 30.

Town halls

The Chairman of the Board has also requested that the claim of the municipalities to be able to use the remnants and surplus be taken into account , thus transferring the claim that mayors and presidents of county councils have sent him.

Precisely this week, Moreno has had a video conference with the mayors of the eight capitals, a meeting with the president of the Granada Provincial Council, the socialist José Entrena , and has visited municipalities such as the one in Ronda. "If there is a moment in which that money can be spent, that moment is this one", he has remarked.

About the start of the next school year , Moreno has insisted that it must be planned in a coordinated manner. "It makes no sense for homogeneous guidelines to be given at the national level for beaches, bars or treatment of waste bags in the homes of people isolated by Covid and for nothing to be said about the start of the school year," he said.

For Moreno, the argument that it is an autonomous competition is an "excuse" in a state of alarm and sole command for an "extraordinarily serious" situation. "Does this situation justify regulating everything, but not offer guidelines for coordination and organization at the national level for the start of the course?"
