“The stability and integrity of this Government is more than guaranteed. The executive is tasked with tax reform to help those most in need, and the same will be done for budgets. we will confirm in time».
This was one of the messages Aitana Mas launched during the parliamentary session in the Valencian Parliament this Thursday; Particularly relevant words at a time when Botànic, and especially one of the partners, Compromís, is experiencing a turbulence. Account of Mireia Molla’s dismissal as Minister of Agriculture and Ecological Transition. And it’s all three months after the resignation of Mónica Oltra, who has hitherto been the Valencian motto. The political quandary of the dismissal of El Salvador’s Minister occurred in a context when the tripartite government was immersed in the deliberation of the 2023 budget project, the eighth bill Valencia has planned to approve since taking power in 2015. As it has become a tradition, next year’s budget puzzle runs again until the last hour. Tensions abound, but unlike previous editions, PSPV, Compromís and Unides Podem are not bleeding from their strife or disagreement. The limit for posting accounts to the Cortes was set for 31 October, but last year this was not reached in time and then the parliamentary calendar had to be adapted to be approved before the end of the year. At Botànic, everyone agreed this Thursday that there would be white smoke eventually, costing a little more or a little less. The conversations of the negotiating teams and the first swordsmen who were ultimately part of the government coalition continued into the afternoon. While they may not initially reach the 9% registered and in effect in 2022, these will be broad accounts.
Alternative
For the left, it is essential to foresee that the governing coalition will remain a solid option, seven months before the elections scheduled for May 2023. In fact, this was one of the arguments Mas used during the parliamentary session, denouncing the PP for that party led by Carlos Mazón, and it has no political alternative for the Valencian Community. Unlike what had happened during twenty years of popular governments, Botànic public policies at the service of citizensstressed the vice president. And it is precisely public policies that create the final stages of friction for reaching consensus on budgets.
Sources from the Podem-led Second Vice Presidency warned that the final deal was not closed until yesterday afternoon. They argued that the next budgets may not be the same as in previous years, as the consequences of inflation and the energy crisis were promoted at a particularly complicated time due to the increase in interest rates and loss in purchasing power approved by the European Central Bank. This puts families into difficulty paying rent or mortgages. In this sense, they argued, political priorities should address issues in terms of employment, housing, welfare or the energy transition, as agreed in Botànic’s last seminar.
