MADRID, 25 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The general coordinator of the PP, Elías Bendodo, has transferred this Tuesday that “it remains to be seen” that the Iberian exception model that “is not working” in Spain in view of the fact that the receipts continue “shooting” is successful in the rest of Europe countries.
The leader of the PP has expressed himself in these terms after the European Commission has proposed today that the model of the Iberian exception that allows Spain and Portugal to put a ceiling on the price of gas used to generate electricity be extended to the rest of the Union European with a cap of between 100 and 120 euros per Mwh, a softer limit than the average of about 48.8 euros of the Hispanic-Portuguese mark; a step with which he estimates a net benefit of 13,000 million euros for the block.
In an interview in La Sexta, collected by Europa Press, Bendodo explained that when they say that it is a model that has not worked, it is because “receipts continue to skyrocket” and because “Spanish energy consumers will finance before the end of the year in 1,000 million euros in gas to the French for connectivity”.
“That is the model that we say does not work, therefore, it remains to be seen whether this model that does not work in Spain will be successful in the European Union”, he pointed out.
Next, he argued that the problem posed by the ceiling on the price of gas with the French could arise in the center of Europe with connectivity with Norway or Ukraine. “They can be sellers more than buyers, therefore, we would be financing countries that supply us with gas,” she explained.
“That the European Union has raised these questions well, we are going to see it, but from the outset in the pocket of the citizens it is not perceived that it is successful,” he settled.
