The political commission that will negotiate the Generalitat’s 2023 budget begins. Botànic chose to repeat the formula initiated in the last edition, when a committee of representatives of the three powers that made up the coalition took the reins of the budget war. One of the biggest innovations on this occasion is that Finance Minister Arcadi Spain will be responsible for coordinating meetings to settle the accounts, unlike what happened last year. Differences with Mónica Oltra, Consell’s then vice president. A year later, neither is part of the Valencian Government.
The negotiating committee, therefore, begins without major change compared to last year. Only two new faces attend the rendezvous. One of the Unides Podem quota members, Marc Aparisi, was added to the Spanish Minister’s quota, replacing César Lledó.
In the name of the socialist quota, they will repeat Andreu Ferrer, Alfred Boix and Eva Martínez in addition to Spain. Meanwhile, the names set by Compromís are Francesc Gamero and Iván Castañón. Representing the purples will be Cristian Veses.
Working committee starts walking with maximum strength reach an agreement to present accounts on timeSome calculations will be conditioned by the tax reform planned by Botànic following the proposal made by Consell chairman Ximo Puig during the general policy debate. All this at a time when its partners are pressing to raise taxes on higher incomes.
Spain wants the negotiation to take place quietly. Its purpose, as every year, is to prevent the publication of differences in the trio.
