The PP demands to rethink investments of European funds in the face of the "failure" of the Government

MADRID, 22 May. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The PP charges against what it considers a "failure in the current management of European funds" and, given the "inability" of the Government, demands to reprogram its investments and rethink the governance framework of the Recovery Plan.

This is stated in the non-law proposal registered by the 'popular' in Congress, to which Europa Press has had access, which describes the execution of the first year of the Recovery Plan as "disappointing" "based on its null impact on the growth of the Spanish economy".

The PP considers that there is no co-governance because, it says, the communities have not been counted on to design the plan, nor is flexibility, adaptation of investments or multi-year planning allowed, and it doubts the effectiveness and efficiency of the investments and the quality of the projects and the design of calls.

Likewise, it criticizes the opacity and lack of transparency of the plan, as real execution data in terms of national accounting are not available since August 31, the absence of a management information system. He also the lack of information and accessibility of the calls, something that, in his opinion, explains that, according to data from Spain cited by the PP, only 16% of companies are interested in the calls.

The 'popular' see the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism as "the greatest opportunity in recent history to get out of an economic crisis through investments and reforms", for which they propose to Congress the need to reprogram investments, their governance framework and put in place the necessary means to facilitate transparency and accountability.

Likewise, it proposes the use of European funds to approve tax incentives and the opening of a dialogue with the private sector, autonomous communities and local entities in order to prepare the necessary addendum to the Recovery Plan in order to request the 84,000 million euros in credits from the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism.
