Provides for a “solidarity quota between Catalonia as a nation and the Spanish State”, as well as powers in pensions and European funds
Junts has estimated the “historic debt of the State with Catalonia” at 450,000 million euros and has requested the forgiveness of the debt of the Autonomous Liquidity Fund (FLA) to partially reduce it, as well as collect all taxes, execute pension transfers and 19% of European Next Generation funds with retroactive effects.
In a statement, Junts has detailed that it requests the transfer of powers to the Tax Agency of Catalonia so that the Generalitat can collect all taxes and provide, eventually, for a “solidarity quota between Catalonia as a nation and the Spanish State.”
This is stated by the training led by Jordi Turull and Laura Borràs among the conclusions that their group has presented to the Study Commission on the Historical Debt of the State with Catalonia in the Parliament.
The party led by Carles Puigdemont has calculated the figure taking into account 50,900 million in infrastructure deficits, 375,000 million in social items and 30,000 million in pensions “in the last thirty years of underfinancing.”
In terms of pensions, Junts proposes that Catalonia have its own system and create the Catalan Social Security Agency, for which it proposes that the State transfer to the Generalitat the agreed amount as a “pension piggy bank.”
Regarding infrastructure, he asks that the State “compensate the transfer of the liquidation of budgets in infrastructure that have not been fulfilled during the mandates of President Pedro Sánchez.”
In addition, it urges “setting deadlines to proceed with payment” of the third additional provision of the Statute so that Catalonia can execute the pending infrastructures, starting with the Mediterranean Corridor.
And it proposes that the State transfer 19% of Next Generation European funds with retroactive effects and “establish the monitoring and control method on an annual basis.”
