The Congress will overturn the decree of the Government of the surplus of the municipalities

The

is on the verge of losing the vote on the validation of the royal decree so that the municipalities can use the accumulated surplus.

The formula arbitrated by the

, to overcome the legal impediment (embodied in the

itself

and in the

) that the municipalities spend that money without incurring a subsequent deficit in their accounts, was that they ceded the remnants voluntarily to the Executive who would return them later in two phases.

Now, between this year and the next, 35% of the first

, and the rest, up to 15,000, in the next 10 years, a period in which they would receive 100% of the contribution, which would be added to the initial injection.

This proposal already represented a bankruptcy in the usual consensus of the

(FEMP) because it left out municipalities that do not have savings or do not want to give them up.

And in the parliamentary negotiation to be approved, it is not drawing any consensus either.

The royal decree is voted on Thursday in

and, although the negotiations are ongoing,

.

Right now the Government does not have the necessary support to achieve a simple majority.

And he negotiates in extremis to convince

,

and

that they are inclined at this time to "no".

Even the

u, is actively participating in the talks and has met with the second vice president and leader of

,

.

Speaking to TVE on Wednesday morning Colau said that he trusts that a consensus will be reached.

Colau has supported the manifesto of more than 30 large municipalities (such as

,

or

), which are committed to distributing the initial fund of 5,000 million among the municipalities with no criteria other than the population, as has been done with the autonomous communities, regardless of the accumulated surplus for each municipality.

In fact, the lack of support for its text has led the Ministry of Finance to present a new formula so that these 5,000 million are distributed, at least

, following population criteria, which would also allow financing to municipalities that do not have accumulated savings or refuse to give it up.

And they propose that this percentage can be negotiated.

But the possibility of the royal decree being overthrown remains intact.

The Treasury has offered that it be processed later as a bill in order to reach a later agreement on this controversial point.

If it is not approved, it would mean a resounding defeat for the Government, especially because it has not been able to add support, beyond United We Can, which is not even a compact block for the doubts of Colau and, therefore, of

, the Catalan brand of Podemos.

And this Wednesday's session in the

has not anticipated anything good.

The PP, as highlighted by its spokesman,

, has managed to carry out a motion that asks the Government to withdraw this text.

The voting has not been completed, due to a failure of the telematic voting system, but the popular ones assure that they win because their margin is greater than the number of senators who have not voted.

The

has not achieved the support of

and

.

In Maroto's opinion it is "a deserved defeat."

"It

is difficult for

approve the

for not deciding what he wants to spend the money on and because he fails in his intention to expropriate the savings of the neighbors," he adds.

The

has led the criticism of this royal decree.

His

, assures that "there is no time" to process the decree as a bill, due to the enormous need for funds that municipalities have to combat the pandemic.

If the decree is not validated this Thursday, what he proposes is that the Executive present another, agreed before.

"We want to agree on a new text that includes a fund without conditions of 5,000 million euros, which enables the modification of the Budget Stability Law to enable the councils to spend the 15,000 million euros they have saved after much effort, which the spending ceiling of local entities for the years 2020 and 2021 is eliminated, financially sustainable investments are extended and the participation of local entities in European funds as a result of the Covid is guaranteed, "add the 'popular'.
