The PP now says it will not appeal against the PPAs’ budgets
- The representative of the Government, Javier de Andrés, said that the Government of the Spanish State will not appeal to the budgets of the Basque Country. “Erkoreka knows that this is not true,” he says, noting that the “excuse” of Article 155 is falling short of the PNV: “They are looking for excuses not to accept the General State Budgets.”
It is in this context that Onda Vascan Javier de Andrés has made statements and reported that the issue of budgets has been brought to the negotiating committee, as is done with many other issues, and that most of the issues that come to the committee usually go forward without going through the courts.
The PNV has stated on several occasions that it will not negotiate with the PP in Catalonia 155. As long as the article is in force, but according to Javier de Andrés, the PNV is using this as an excuse.
The Government of the Spanish State held a Council of Ministers on Tuesday, in which the draft budget law has been presented. The president of Ciudadanos, Albert Rivera, has expressed his support for the budgets, but the PNV has said that while Article 155 is in force, it will not negotiate the budgets with the PP.
The spokesman of the Basque Government, Josu Erkoreka, announced on Tuesday that the government of Mariano Rajoy will file an appeal against the Budget Law of the Basque Country 2018, arguing that it is unconstitutional. According to Erkoreka, Rajoy’s “threat” does not help “mutual understanding” with regard to the approval of the State Budget. De Andrés, however, has just refuted the words of the government spokesman.
The PP government has opposed two articles of the Budget Law because it has considered that they cause “an excessive limitation of competences” and because when the budgets of the Basque Country were approved, the budgets of the Spanish State for 2018 were not established. The 2018 budget was approved thanks to the votes of the PNV, the PSE-EE and the PP. In fact, Rajoy condemns articles 19 and 20 that regulate the increase in the remuneration of public employees. These articles include an increase of 1.5% in the salary of civil servants this year, together with a contribution equivalent to 1% of the salary to the Public Voluntary Social Welfare Agency (BGAE) Itzarri.
The Official Spanish Gazette (BOE) has published on Wednesday the pact reached by the PP government with state officials, which foresees a 1.5% increase in wages over the next three years, which could increase up to 2.25%, according to the growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
