The agreement between PSOE and United We Can to carry out a draft of the Budgets for 2021 were muddy. Despite the fact that Pedro Sánchez announced to the autonomous presidents that the draft will go to the Council of Ministers on Tuesday for approval, from United We Can not hesitate to qualify the Prime Minister: “There is no agreement yet“, they pointed out throughout the day on Tuesday.
The purples they demanded improvements in the minimum living income and the regulation of rent as political measures that accompany the public accounts. Even from United We Can launched an advocate: if there was no agreement, they would not support the draft Budget. Late on Monday night there was white smoke: commitment to regulate rents in four months and improvements to facilitate faster access to the minimum vital income.
Last Friday, Podemos, together with Sánchez’s investiture partners, signed a manifesto where they demanded that the PSOE establish this rent limitation “urgently”. Finally, the middle ground to avoid a possible crisis that the Executive might have ahead has been to postpone this measure for four months, a margin that the two parties have accepted.
With no rest over the weekend, the negotiation has been rushed to the end. Well into the night of this Monday, both parties were still trying to seal a pact. On the part of United We Can, Nacho à ?? lvarez pressed for improve the processing and access to the minimum vital income -with the proposal that a responsible statement was endorsed- and Ione Belarra defended the rent regulation, a measure shared by the rest of the PSOE partners such as ERC or Bildu. As EL MUNDO has learned, the pact that Pedro Sánchez and Pablo Iglesias will present this Tuesday morning was not reached until the evening.
In the conversations, the PSOE had proposed to study this regulation in the future Housing Law prepared by the ministry of Josà © Luis à ?? balos, with the promise of accelerating this regulation, but the purples they asked for a series of requirements and specifications that were not accepted by their partner and the final consensus was delayed. A part of the socialist ministers has shown doubts about this measure, rejecting it even publicly, as did the economic vice president Nadia Calvià ± o or the head of the affected portfolio, Josà © Luis à ?? balos, who said only a few days ago that it was not the moment.
These are political and not economic measures, but that United We can consider keys to monitor public accounts. They consider that they are crucial in the Government’s roadmap, due to their social significance, and that, in addition, they would facilitate the support of the investiture bloc, the only support contemplated by the Churches party.
We can needed to ‘sell’ achievements
Without these measures, during the afternoon of this Monday, in Unidos Podemos they were blunt: the draft Budget could not go to the Council of Ministers because, they defended, they would not support it. A sort of advocate for Churches to Sánchez and the Government of which he is a part.
The budget draft as such, the numbers, was closed, with important assignments by United We Can, which has ended up bending its arm before the PSOE. Iglesias was not willing to give in on the political part that he wants to accompany the Budgets. He needs measures that allow him to show his followers that the pulse of the PSOE has doubled, to sell that the accounts bear his stamp, to demonstrate useful politics. Hence the statement of the purples: “An agreement has not yet been reached to bring the Council of Ministers tomorrow“.
Treasury: tomorrow is approved
In the Treasury, on the other hand, they always maintained that the preliminary draft of the Budget will be approved this Tuesday, as the Prime Minister has stated. And with this document, the fiscal measures that have already been transferred to Brussels such as the increase in VAT for sugary drinks, with which the Executive estimates that it will enter 400 million in two years, or “the creation of the Tax on Plastic Containers single use, which has already passed the public information process “and whose estimated collection is 491 million.
In addition, the Budget Plan also reports that 1,311 million will be entered into the “green taxation area imposition“Without specifying the specific measures, although at this point the diesel tax that the Government already tried to apply in previous accounts would fit. And it is also estimated at 550 million”measures in the field of direct taxation“and 1,509 in”measures in the area of indirect taxation“.
