• Pacto.ERC reaches a budgetary "pre-agreement" with the Government and agrees a commission to pursue "the tax haven of Madrid"

  • Government.Pedro Sánchez supports the ERC's fiscal attack on Madrid and says that other PP presidents ask for a "harmonization"

The position of the parties that support the Government coalition, PSOE and United We Can, against the Community of Madrid due to its fiscal situation and tax cuts, is increasingly manifest.

Both formations share ERC's requirement to impose a fiscal harmonization that nullifies the decision-making capacity of Isabel Ayuso.

The fiscal war is declared to the point that United We can speak of "Ayuso's fiscal secessionism", while defending the privileges that the Basque Country or Navarra have.

The purple formation supports the position demanded by ERC and defended by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez.

Jaume Asens

, president of the United We Can parliamentary group, has influenced this position to eliminate these supposed privileges from Madrid.

"It is a tax haven for large companies and fortunes," declared the purple leader, who maintains that this region benefits from its status as capital.

And he adds that it is a damage, above all, for emptied Spain, and for public services, such as Health, because they wield from United We Can, less is entered.

This newspaper reports this Thursday that Madrid contributes 23,000 million more to the 'common fund' than Catalonia since 2009 with less taxes

In an interview on Telemadrid, the president of the United We can parliamentary group stated that some "16,000

General Administration

officials

work in Madrid and pay taxes in this community," which, in his opinion, is detrimental to the rest of the communities.

In this position of the government parties against Madrid, accepting ERC's demand for a fiscal harmonization that annuls Madrid's measures in the framework of the budget negotiation, United We can also cling to the argument presented by Sánchez, in the sense of that there are PP communities that also defend fiscal harmonization in Spain, "but I don't think they support it publicly."

Faced with this position and asked about the privileges that the Constitution grants to

the Basque Country

or

Navarre

, which in its first additional provision "protects and respects the historical rights of the provincial territories. The general update of said provincial regime will be carried out, in its case, within the framework of the Constitution and the Statutes of Autonomy ".

"One thing is what is derived from the architecture of the Transition with communities with historical rights that have an economic agreement enshrined in the Constitution and another thing is the fiscal 'dumping' that is located outside the Constitution", has been the reflection of Asens, who has recognized that this circumstance could well deserve an in-depth debate.
