• Finance The Ayuso Government will have to extend the Budgets again and blames Sánchez for having notified him late of the income

The Executive of the Community of Madrid does not want there to be surprises with the Budgets of 2021 and therefore will

negotiate them with Vox before sending them to the Assembly of Vallecas

for processing.

As the coalition formed by PP and Cs is in a parliamentary minority, it needs the yes of at least one opposition party to be able to approve the new regional accounts and in Isabel Díaz Ayuso's team they are clear that this ally must be the formation of Rocío Monasterio .

"It seems logical to us because they are the three groups that supported the investiture

and that make up the majority that supports this Government," argues the Minister of Finance, Javier Fernández-Lasquetty.

"With people who have a different opinion than us, who are the groups on the left, we will speak where it is necessary to speak, which is in Parliament," he adds.

Last March Vox aligned itself by surprise with PSOE, Más Madrid and Unidas Podemos to knock down the first package of tax reductions that the Madrid Executive took to the regional Assembly.

Unlike the rest of the opposition parties, which oppose the generalized tax cut -as was the case-, the radical right-wing formation voted against the application of three new deductions in the autonomous section of personal income tax because

it seemed to them « unambitious »

.

To avoid a new setback of these characteristics in the Vallecas hemicycle, the Ayuso Government now changes its strategy and, once an agreement is reached within the coalition itself, it will open a dialogue with whoever it

considers to be your "senior partner

.

"

Until a consensus is reached with the Monastery on the budget bill, the parliamentary process will not begin.

"It is, for example, what the PP did in the last legislature with Cs, now it corresponds to Vox, but we have not yet started any negotiations," says Fernández-Lasquetty.

"Therefore, we are not taking into account any request because

we have not opened a negotiation

nor is there an agenda of issues," he adds.

However, in June Monasterio already gave Ayuso and his coalition partner, Ignacio Aguado, a dossier with proposals for reducing "ineffective public spending" for the elimination, among other things, of what it describes as "

political

bars

."

Last Thursday in the Assembly he again

demanded a "drastic cut in the

number

of

jobs

"

in the first two-color government in history in Puerta del Sol, which increased its structure compared to the previous legislature with four new councils - to add 13 - in order to fit the aspirations of the two parties that comprise it.

Second extension of the accounts

While the conversations with Vox about its demands in exchange for its vote in favor of next year's Budgets still do not take place, the Community of Madrid will have to extend for the second time those of 2019, even temporarily.

For the processing in the Assembly of the new draft law, it must be sent

at least two months in advance of its vote

, so it is unlikely that the new accounts will be approved before March.

"We have not stopped working and we continue working to

have a draft

in conditions to be negotiated with Vox

as soon as possible

," justifies the Minister of Finance, without setting a specific date for that dialogue table.

"There is no progress in something that does not exist but that will exist," he says.

In the Community of Madrid, they blame the delay in the preparation of the 2021 Budgets on the Government of Pedro Sánchez for having

notified

him of

the income for next year with "three months late

.

"

Also for having recently approved a 0.9% salary increase for public employees, whose payrolls account for around 38% of total spending in the region.
