Podemos calls on the PSOE to urgently return to the negotiation table on the PGE to overcome the differences

MADRID, 27 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The negotiation between PSOE and United We Can for the General State Budgets continues with distant positions and this situation has led the minority partner to demand that the socialist wing meet again urgently at the dialogue table on future public accounts.

In this way and as Europa Press has learned from negotiation sources, the purples are annoyed by the lack of progress on the draft budget and appeal to the PSOE to reconvene the negotiating table, arguing that it takes almost a frozen week.

Yesterday, the state co-spokesperson for the purple formation, Isa Serra, already expressed her concern about the lack of progress in this matter, if the budget project was to be approved soon in the Council of Ministers, and criticized that the PSOE had "blocked " the negotiation.

Meanwhile, the second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, acknowledged that the positions are still "very far" within the Government and explained that the differences focus on taxation, conciliation measures, a shock plan against inflation, measures for the ecological transition and social policy.

The aforementioned sources argue that the purples are demanding aspects such as extending the freezing of the rent increase to 2% and the measures to make public transport cheaper, included in the anti-crisis decree due to the war in Ukraine until the end of the year.

Another aspect in which they put the focus is to unblock the housing law with a regulation of the rental price in stressed market areas for all owners and the repeal of the 'gag' law, as well as promoting the new family law that aspires to to extend maternity leave to six months and a universal child-rearing income of 100 euros.

On the other hand, an already traditional demand in the confederal space is the deployment of a progressive tax reform, not only the tax on large fortunes. Specifically, they demand a minimum effective rate in Corporate Tax of 15% --the design of the 15% floor approved in the previous accounts leaves this minimum at 3.8%-- and harden income from capital in personal income tax compared to work.

In addition, they request an increase in investment in conciliation policies (co-responsible plan) and deepen the reversal of cuts applied during the PP stage to unemployment benefits.

For its part, the PSOE, through the Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, conveyed that "in the next few days" it will present the package of fiscal measures and specified that some will be included in the project of the General State Budgets (PGE) and others will be made in a specific rule that will be carried out with "expedited processing" to take effect in 2023.
