Following the fiscal reforms of 2013 and 2018, the PNV and the PSE have shown their intention to return to the issue of taxation. They explain that they have started contacts to talk about this, "because both sides consider it essential to increase progressivity and to respond to the challenges facing Basque society", in a joint note to the press.

However, the two parties of the Basque Government did not specify in the note what measures the new tax rules would take, beyond the increase in "progressivity": "modern society as the Basque must respond through taxation, a powerful tool for sharing wealth and combating inequality situations, to the main transformations that will be experienced in different areas".

In any event, they warn that dialogue has only begun and that this reform will certainly not be possible after the municipal elections in May.

Immediately after the announcement the first reactions between trade unions and opposition parties took place. Elkarrekin We have seen fit to address reform, but says it has an "electoral air" and recalls that in 2020 the proposal for tax reform was rejected.

EH Bildu, for its part, only sees "propaganda": "They have been governing the three institutions responsible for fiscal policy for 8 years and have done nothing", explains the Abertzale coalition. The PNV and the PSE have begun the process of dissolving the General Meetings of Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa "in the absence of two months".

ELA also publishes a note with its conclusions. He explains that the trade union has been calling for another tax for years and has so far been heard. Among the measures to be taken, it calls for the profit tax of companies to be set at 25%, with the fact that the revenue from this tax since 2007 has been half.
