The Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, has taken advantage of her speech in Congress in defense of the State Budget project for 2023 to confirm that the Government will make the multi-trip voucher and title "structural" that currently reduces up to 50 % commuter, medium-distance and

Rodalíes routes

.

It is an initiative that the Executive has weighed in recent weeks and that today the head of the Treasury has confirmed by explaining that for this item the Budgets contemplate an expense of 700 million euros.

Consolidating this bonus for rail transport aims, according to Montero, not only to help students and workers who use it the most, but also "to measure how it contributes to reducing emissions and encouraging sustainable transport ".

Likewise, Montero has explained the intention of the Executive to "reissue the cultural bonus" that includes a check of 400 euros for young people who turn 18 years old.

This is an amount that must be spent on cultural products and activities: 200 euros for arts and performing activities such as theater, cinema or concerts;

100 euros for physical products such as books, CDs or video games and another 100 euros for

online

products .

Likewise, the minister has announced an increase in the amount allocated to the so-called thermal social bonus.

This is an increase that will be included in the next decree that the Government approves to alleviate the economic effects of the war in Ukraine.

Montero has defended the expansive spending policy included in his Budget project, insisting that it is not a waste but an investment.

He has assured in this sense that public services "represent an indirect income of 11,000 euros for a household with two adults and two children."

The head of the Treasury has also assured that the Budgets for 2023 are "an antidote to inequality, poverty and the hopelessness that they are", she stressed, "the breeding ground of populism".
