The accounts presented by Consell for the 2024 financial year are liked by some and disliked by others. While the Valencian Government speaks of “efficiency”, “responsibility” and “realism”, the opposition left-wing parties call the Generalitat’s regional budget project a “brake on social progress” or “benefits for the rich and the wealthy”. for a minority.
This was stated this Monday by PSPV-PSOE and Compromís, who confirmed the statements of Botanik against statements that “forget the middle and working classes”. These last words were spoken by Arcadi España, deputy speaker of the socialists in the Valencian Cortes, who was also Minister of Finance in the last term of the last Botànic legislature. “These accounts point to a before and after in the Generalitat’s policy,” he said on Monday, later adding that these budgets “failed to forget the middle and working classes, especially young people, by reducing investment in housing and public transport. Policies were reduced by 15% and public Policies that encourage transport were reduced by 70 million euros.
Likewise, he added that the draft project presented on Monday “stops the fight against climate change, policies to have more water, as well as infrastructure investments.” “Climate denialism has also been transferred to budgets, as policies to protect the environment, have better quality water and invest in infrastructure that remains very necessary have been reduced by more than 423 million euros,” the Socialist deputy spokesperson said. said.
Compromís’s deputy speaker in the Valencian parliament, Isaura Navarro, said in a statement yesterday that they would monitor and report “anything that deviates from the policies implemented by Botànic” and criticized that the initial measures of PP and Vox “will benefit Botànic”. “They have the most and the accounts are directed to the minority, not the majority, unlike Botànic.”
On the other side of the coin, Valencian businessmen were happy with the relationship between expenses and income in 2024. The Valencian Community Business Confederation (CEV) highlighted the draft 2024 budget of the Generalitat Valenciana, presented yesterday by Consell water “realism”. ” and “meticulousness in the allocation of items” and “will to execute”.
These principles, together with the “implementation of management improvements,” provide “certainty to economic actors who are ultimately the taxpayer of income and the recipient of services for expenses.”
But CEV, “aware” of the “complex” environment, warned that elements aimed at increasing companies’ competitiveness “must be protected and strengthened”. “The slowdown of economies and the unique problems of some sectors will require decisive support for their companies.”
