Yolanda Díaz claims to convene the coalition monitoring commission in the face of differences over military spending

MADRID, 5 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The second vice-president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, has advanced that United We Can has asked the PSOE for an urgent meeting of the monitoring commission of the coalition pact due to the differences over the increase in military spending and the "concern" that arouses in her that, in full inflation, Defense items reach up to 22,000 million euros.

This has been advanced in statements to the media before participating in the inauguration of the first LGTBI state meeting, organized by UGT, and once the Council of Ministers has approved an extraordinary credit of 1,000 million euros for Defense through of the contingency fund, something that the confederal space has not liked.

In this sense, the leader of the confederal space in the Executive has explained that, with the request for a meeting of said monitoring commission, she wants to open a "serene" debate on the issue of military spending, since it is necessary to discuss with "serene" the PSOE's claim to place military spending at 2% of GDP.

And it is that this measure means raising this section to 22,000 million euros, when the Ministry of Labor that he directs has a budget of 30,000 million and assumes the deployment of unemployment benefits and active labor insertion policies.

This morning, the president of the United We Can parliamentary group in Congress, Jaume Asens, has accused the PSOE of "disloyalty" with the forms used to take these 1,000 million for Defense, which he has described as a "decree for war" and a "bizum" for the arms industry approved "through the back door" in the Council of Ministers.

The last time that United We Can demanded the meeting of this monitoring commission was in October of last year when the minority partner appreciated "attempts to interfere" by the vice president, Nadia Calviño, in the powers of her counterpart and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz , facing the work to promote the new labor reform.
