The Minister of Finance has insisted that the 2022 accounts are “essential to consolidate the economic and social recovery” to ensure that the recovery reaches “all people, all territories and all sectors.”
The Minister of Finance, Maria Jesus Montero, has asked the parliamentary groups to develop a “frank” debate on the General State Budgets for 2022, which he defends this Wednesday in the Congress of Deputies.
During his speech, Montero referred to the groups that have presented the seven amendments to the entire budget that will be debated today, to whom it has summoned “to contrast ideas and proposals from the respect and education”.
“This country has plenty of tension, noise, short debate, overacting and scorched earth policy,” the minister assured, while calling for “constructive criticism” of “an opposition that aspires one day to take the reins of society. “.
Montero has made it clear that the government is negotiating with all the groups to try to get their support for the accounts presented.
Montero has insisted that 2022 accounts are “indispensable to consolidate economic and social recovery “to ensure that recovery reaches” all people, all territories and all sectors.
“We have to learn to move in a scenario of uncertainty,” he acknowledged, with special attention to rises in energy prices or bottlenecks in the supply chain that, he said, will be “transitory.”
“The volatility scenario does not imply that we do not have a well-defined course in this government,” he added, which involves “strengthening the middle and working class.”
Thus, the minister has advocated “revitalizing” the welfare state because an impoverished middle class entails “a democracy that is more vulnerable to the rise of populism.”
Montero has had a special mention for culture, “which is much more than a policy” because “it allows developing critical thinking and strengthening democratic values”, as well as young people, who are given “priority attention” in the accounts .
Also to science and investments, which “thanks to the exceptional contribution of European funds” offer the opportunity to modernize the productive fabric and grow thanks to a “more qualified human capital” instead of “at the expense of labor rights”.
