Besides the votes, the parties also play hundreds of thousands of euros in public money at each election. The money they raise can be returned to them or not, depending on the results. autonomously 28 millionThe six entities represented on the Corts in the previous legislature justified election expenditures of just over 3.1m euros and received 2.5m in return. So together they lost more than 600,000 Euros. While the hole is concentrated in Compromís, Unides Podem and Ciudadanos with red numbers, PPCV, PSPV and Vox They manage to balance their accounts.
Provided by the figures Comptes Sindicatura In his report on checking for election compliance, released this Monday. Among its conclusions, the supervisory body points out that Vox has not complied with the statutory deadline to submit its accounting, which is 30 days from the election under article 44.1 of the electoral law. The Ombudsman states that the general manager of the far-right party requested a delay in the delivery of economic documents, but did so after the deadline.
Specifically, the deadline for submission of accounts was June 27, but Vox has so far not requested an extension of this deadline: 29 June. According to the report, Sindicatura still granted these extra days, extending the deadline until July 10, and Vox added the documents on July 7. The organization states that “any violation of the rules will be sanctioned by the competent electoral board” and recommends that the radical formation “take the necessary measures to provide a detailed and documented accounting of revenue and election expenditure”.
Subsidies received by each party
The organization that contributed the most justified expenditures in terms of matches is PSPV, which received a subsidy of 927,312.4 euros. PP, on the other hand, would receive 838,457.76 euros from the public fund, but could have incurred more expenses as its ceiling was almost 1.2 million. Vox has also chosen to be cautious and will enter a subsidy of 235,987.9 euros from a maximum subsidy of 398,000 euros.
For Compromís, Ciudadanos and Unides Podem, whose failures in the polls cost them good money, the remaining scenario is very different. Valencians have incurred justified expenditures of 615,000 euros, but only 459,000 euros are appropriate, so 28M creates a gap of 156,000 euros.
Worse if possible is the case of purples and oranges, both of which are disappearing from Corts. Liberals spent 170,000 euros on election expenses (the lowest figure that predicted the fiasco anyway) but they will receive zero; UP spent 338,000 euros and is entitled to only 61,000 euros, with a deficit of 276,000 euros.
