If you reside in Rekalde Street in the Berriozar district, your annual income will be approximately 23,000 euros, according to the statistics. On the contrary, if you have had to be a neighbor of the upper part of the Second Ensanche of Pamplona (González Tablas, Bergamín…), you will have an income of 84,000 euros. Four times that of Berriozar! Of course, we can see the whole range, both in Pamplona and in its region and even more cruel throughout Navarre: Ribera (Castejón, 24,000 euros) and Montaña (Urdazubi, 61,000 euros).

We have always been sold that in Navarre we are almost all middle-class Navarros (immigrants seem to belong to another class), and we do so in our daily life and at the time of the elections: defending the interests of the middle and upper class. And what's worse -- not noticing. Economic inequalities are not on the agenda (nor in politics, and rarely in the media, except to take off crimes and atrocities), and they seem to be things of another world. However, from time to time an official statistic (as mentioned above) occupies two pages of major newspapers, with a list of towns and neighborhoods, with the aim of satisfying our curiosity: to know where we are located, before or after the neighboring population, and where the richest and poorest streets of our city are. Like we were on a reality show.

Maybe we are.

But no, that reality is not natural, as are the Arga River or Mount Adi. This reality is built every day, in the workplace and… in taxation. They say that we are all in favour of distributing good, until, of course, we get into details. After all, there are only two ways of distributing the good: collective bargaining (wages, labour agreements) and taxation. There is nothing else s.Cuando I had
to write about taxes, the new Government of Navarra made it easier for me (progressive and coexistence, as its propaganda says). It has announced its intention to abolish the Industrial Heritage Tax in 2020, on the proposal of the PSN and Geroa Bai, with the aim of saving EUR 1 million to the people living in that Second Ensanche. Perhaps the progressive Government found the difference between Berriozar and the Second Ensanche (or Castejón and Urdax) insufficient, and wants to widen that gap a little. The Government says it takes this measure to "improve" taxation and to lower taxes that it has already announced, such as the IRPF of rent (IRPF) to homeowners, or IRPF.

Improve for those of you. Foral watchmaking reload?
