Montero criticizes Ayuso for using the term "scholarship" to finance families with incomes of up to 180,000 euros

MADRID, 6 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, criticized the Community of Madrid this Wednesday for using the term "scholarship" to give aid to certain families "up to an income level of 180,000 euros" so that their children go to study in centers private.

Montero, who inaugurated a UIMP course on taxation, stated that the term "scholarship" must be left "exclusively" for aid to people "who do not have resources", because it is a complementary aid for the purchase of textbooks text or for the transfer for studies to a place of residence that is not the usual one.

"Language is important, when the nominal is tampered with, it stops acquiring the greatness of those collective proposals (study scholarships)," reiterated the head of the Treasury.

Montero also complained that "from certain ideologies" "absolutely false mantras" are repeated regarding the need to lower taxes and are pronounced "harshly" in times of crisis. Thus, he reproached for insistently asking for the abolition of taxes such as Heritage or Inheritance and Donations.

"When we talk about suppressing Patrimony or Inheritance and Donations, we are consolidating situations of injustice, from birth, from birth that last in the following generations," said the minister, who assured that these taxes help "combat poverty."

In his opinion, it is an "ideological battle" led by the Community of Madrid, which, taking advantage of the capital effect and in an "advantageous" manner, can afford to lower taxes, which forces other communities to do the same to avoid what he called "fiscal dumping".

Finally, Montero pointed out that Spain has room to increase collection, since its income over GDP is between 7 and 10 points below the EU average. "We are a country that, although some still repeat like a litany that it has a very high fiscal pressure, still has a margin in its capacity to generate more income," he reiterated.
