Elkarrekin Podemos-IU, ready to negotiate the accounts to “reverse the social cuts” they contain

Elkarrekin’s spokeswoman Podemos-IU, Miren Gorrotxategi, has expressed the willingness of his group to negotiate the 2022 budget project of the Basque Government in order to “reverse the cuts in the social sphere “that, in his opinion, these accounts contain, with which he has been very critical.

Gorrotxategi has opined in a press appearance that these accounts “they are not social” because “they absolutely neglect the protection mechanisms.”

“We make a critical appraisal because they cut back on social issues and cheat on the lonely, “denounced the parliamentarian from Elkarrekin Podemos-IU, who in any case insisted that her group wants to speak with the Basque Government “without putting red lines” to try to improve them in order to “reverse” these cuts.

Gorrotxategi, who has explained that they will send the Minister of Economy and Finance a document with your proposals, has also claimed that the project should include an increase in investments in public schools and institutes considering that the institutions “are neglecting” these facilities.

It has also put on the table the creation of a “public energy company that bet for the generation of renewable “.

“They have presented budgets that are not what we need. They are not expansive, they are not enough and the one who has to maintain the negotiating disposition now is the Basque Government. We have it,” he concluded after recalling that the changes in taxation to be able to maintaining sufficient public spending will also be included in your proposals.

Along the same lines, the parliamentarian of the left coalition, Iñigo Martinez, has stated in an interview with Euskadi Irratia, that they will look at the “numbers rather than the tone” of the budget, and has advanced that this time it does not foresee that the parties that make up Elkarrekin Podemos-IU (Podemos, Ezker Anitza and Equo) will vote different, just as it happened in 2019.
