• State accounts Budgets save the first obstacle thanks to the support of ERC, PNV and Bildu

  • Debate The Government presents the Budgets ignoring the downward economic forecasts and the PP disrupts them by "being born dead" and being "false"

Two absolutely opposite ways of opposing.

That of Vox, which has desisted from presenting any amendment to the General State Budgets.

And that of the PP and Citizens, who have registered 2,070 and 483, respectively.

Santiago Abascal's party has decided for the second consecutive year not to put forward a single proposal to "improve" or try to reverse the "damage" to the government's accounts.

It is a strategy that last year was unusual and that then unleashed widespread criticism from the rest of the political formations, who accused Vox of leaving functions and "not working."

Vox insists again that its obligation was to present an amendment to the entirety, as did other six parties, but that once the Government saved them in the vote on Thursday, the fact of presenting partial amendments supposes the "acceptance" of the bills.

Something to which they refuse: "Infinite distance with the ETA Budgets".

Thus, they are justified in that "this type of amendment forces parliamentary groups to 'move' the money from place within specific chapters, without the possibility of making substantial changes that reduce the chapter of expenses or allocate superfluous expenses to truly important causes. ".

It is, he describes the match, as "playing tetris."

However, the PP and Ciudadanos have chosen to do the opposite and have presented hundreds of amendments to visualize by means of measures, as the

popular ones

emphasize

, what is their "alternative" for Spain.

In the case of the

orange

party

, which only has 9 deputies, which is 43 less than Vox has, they justify their battery of more than 480 amendments in order to "try to alleviate all those dire consequences in these accounts or, failing that , make it clear that if these accounts do not include the liberal measures of Ciudadanos - among them, many of the reforms forgotten or directly buried by the Executive is due to the manifest will of the Government of Spain and the parties that support it to reject them in a vote in the Congress of Deputies ".

The parliamentary spokesperson of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, explains that the proposal is articulated in three axes designed to "strengthen the institutions", "promote growth" and draw up a social policy based on the "defense of the family, the promotion of the birth rate. and the improvement of the conciliation ".

40 amendments worth more than 1,500 million euros are dedicated to this last objective.

The

popular ones

highlight, in their social initiatives, the entry of 400 million for free education from 0 to 3 years, another of 10 million to expand the beneficiaries of fertility treatments and a third of 800 million to reduce the waiting lists in the area of ​​dependency.

It also proposes expanding paternity and maternity leave, doubling it for single-parent families, as well as the bonus for hiring household employees and the reinforcement of paid leave for the care of sick minors.

In addition, the package of

popular

amendments

includes the demand for a tax reduction of 10,000 million euros that should be subtracted from the "Sanchista unproductive waste." This item would be broken down into a 4,000 million reduction in personal

income tax

for the most vulnerable taxpayers; 1,400 million in suppression of the

wealth tax

; 2,700 in the

Donations and Inheritance

tax

; a 50% reduction in that of

Companies

; the reduction of contributions for young people or long-term unemployed and 600 million in elimination of the

property transfer tax

on the purchase of a habitual residence.

For its part, Ciudadanos has presented amendments that connect with its reform plan for Spain with a special emphasis on "fiscal relief for the middle and working classes" and the self-employed against the "hack" of the Government.

Among other measures, they propose more deductions in personal income tax and a reduction in VAT on electricity, hairdressing services and the tourism sector (hospitality, accommodation, and maritime and air passenger transport).

There are numerous proposals of a social nature, such as all those related to birth, education, health or young people.

For example, it stands out the extension of maternity and paternity leave to 24 weeks after the birth or adoption of the minor or guaranteeing the "right to telework" during the 12 months following the birth or adoption.

The amendments highlight some of the measures that Inés Arrimadas has emphasized in recent months, such as mental health.

The party proposes adding 500 million to reinforce Primary Care, a suicide prevention plan within a Mental Health Strategy that would have to be reinforced with more psychologists and more psychiatric positions.

Also, an increase in the item for diseases such as ALS.
