• Policy Vox definitively breaks with Almeida and will not approve the Budgets of the Madrid City Council

The board for negotiating the Budgets of the Madrid City Council changes

After trying unsuccessfully until the last moment for

Vox

to sit at the table, José Luis Martínez-Almeida has finally been forced to seek support on the bench on the left.

Formally, the mayor has made an invitation to all opposition groups, including those who until now had been his preferred partner, but in practice the only one with whom he has real options of reaching an agreement is with the one formed by the four

Carmenista

councilors

splintered from

Más Madrid

. This Thursday afternoon, the first meeting took place without the talks having crystallized into an agreement at the moment.

In

Recupera Madrid

-the political brand of the Mixed Group- they have a list of «priorities» which in turn have materialized in 25 partial amendments to the Budget project. Among them stands out a reduction in the IBI receipt "more ambitious" than that proposed by the Government of

PP

and Ciudadanos, but instead of being the same for all taxpayers, it favors medium and low income.

“We ask that the type of people whose properties are worth less than 300,000 euros be put to the legal minimum. And that benefits 95% of the people of Madrid. But what we want is for people who have properties over one million euros to be raised to the legal maximum, "explains

Luis Cueto

, one of the party's councilors. In this way, he argues, instead of 60 million euros, the tax savings would be 300, but the difference would be compensated by "those with the greatest collection capacity."

This is a priori the most contentious point to reach the agreement, since for the mayor the tax increase is "a red line."

In the group that already allowed Almeida the approval of the new area of ​​restrictions that replaces Madrid Central with very few changes, they warn that

"a negotiation is not a swallow"

, but "a tug of war" and that "both parties must give".

In addition, Recupera Madrid wants

the EMT buses to be free at rush hour

.

It also requests that the City Council itself manage the payment of the Minimum Vital Income to streamline its management and that there be more rental housing at an affordable price.

The meetings of the delegates of the Treasury,

Engracia Hidalgo

, and the Economy,

Miguel Ángel Redondo

, will continue this Friday with the representatives of Más Madrid and the PSOE.

Vox, on the other hand, will not attend the appointment.

"Thanks to Javier Ortega [Smith] wants to go by car on Gran Vía at the moment, Madrilenians lose

60 million euros,"

Almeida lamented this Thursday, alluding to the group's spokesman that had supported their Budgets for two years previous reports have now withdrawn their support for not having repealed Madrid Central, as promised in the electoral campaign.

"This is so, right now that is in danger," he added, given the certainty that no group on the left is going to support a generalized IBI reduction like the one he wanted.

In the absence of a defined calendar, the forecast is that next Tuesday the amendments - total and partial - could be debated in committee.

If in between the government team reached an agreement with a group, an extraordinary plenary session would be convened for the approval of the Budgets the last week of December and if not

, those of 2021 would be extended

.
