Correct yourself. This is what the PP and Vox parties that make up the Autonomous Government have done with the Generalitat’s draft budget. Both political parties presented amendments on the one hand: 160,000 euros discount on an item to be sent to the Provincial Council of Alicante activities aimed at citizen participation and, on the other hand,Leaving the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) without receiving the 30,000 Euros allocated for the creation of the Chair of Democratic Memory. While the executive assured the Provincial Assembly that the amount initially allocated was incorrect and has been corrected, the reason for the withdrawal of aid to the GNA is that the presidency will not take office next year. These allegations do not convince PSPV, which considers these cuts amounting to “humiliation” towards the province of Alicante.
Draft regional budget within the scope of assistance to encourage citizen participation at the local level, Including 300,000 euros for the Provincial Council of Alicante and 100,000 euros for Valencia and Castellón respectively. What PP and Vox did with the proposed amendment was that Alicante left 140,000 euros to the state institution, while Valencia’s increased to 270,000, while Castellón’s remained at 90,000.
As for the GNA, The president was expected to receive 30 thousand euros through the agreement on its establishmentAn amount eliminated through change. This amount was transferred to the maintenance and operation of the Tribunal de las Aguas de la Vega in Valencia, thus increasing the amount to 100,000 euros.
These changes were harshly criticized by PSPV. Valencia Cortes Local Government spokesman Ramón Abad attacks these cuts, especially in relation to the GNA president. In his words, “It is outrageous that the far right directs the PP’s politics in the GeneralitatThe revival of democratic memory during the Franco dictatorship and the censorship and liquidation of attempts to address the struggles and suffering of many people.
In this area, he emphasizes that the economic project has already eliminated almost a million euros from actions planned in the 2023 budget of the Consell de Ximo Puig, respecting the two years of aid already committed. «Elche’s chair was one of the few chairs they had left and now they’re liquidating it“This shows Consell’s insensitivity, ideological sectarianism and extreme facet,” he laments.
Ramón Abad also emphasizes that the cuts were made within the scope of the Presidential budget, which is directly under Carlos Mazón, and says: Both elements are directed to increase the financing of organizations and activities in the province of Valencia.
However, the autonomous government firmly rejects all criticism, on the grounds that the two amendments they approved are completely justified. Therefore, in the case of reducing the allocation allocated to the Provincial Council of Alicante, the sources consulted indicate that: What has been done is to correct an error in the amounts originally allocated.This did not correspond to the population weight of each province. They explain that what is done with the correction now is to distribute the funds proportionally. They also add that change is a common mechanism in these cases.
Regarding the GNA president, the same sources state that after the meeting with the rector, it was decided to withdraw the planned 30,000 euros and verify that it will not be released in the next fiscal year. Therefore, they add, this article has been eliminated in line with the new autonomous government’s philosophy of not preparing fictitious budgets.
The executive also rejects the claim that this withdrawal of aid has an ideological component.. Thus, they explain that there are articles in the budgets regarding the celebration of democratic memory events for other universities.
