MADRID, 19 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The spokeswoman for the Canary Coalition in Congress, Ana Oramas, has announced that her formation, after holding a first meeting with the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, on the General Budgets for 2023, has agreed not to present an amendment in its entirety and to abstain next week in the first vote on the Government’s budget project.
From then on, both parties will negotiate, since the Canary Coalition continues to think that the budgets do not provide an answer to the problems of the archipelago, and the final vote of the two CC deputies will depend on those conversations.
The leader of CC, Fernando Clavijo, already warned President Pedro Sánchez this Tuesday in the Senate that the so-called ‘social shield’ has not worked in the Canary Islands, since they lead the poverty statistics, and that measures such as the free Renfe subscription or VAT rebates have no result in the Canary Islands, which lack trains and have their own tax regime without VAT. Therefore, he offered to negotiate improvements “with both hands outstretched.”
