Podemos asks that the Budgets not include “not one euro cent” of increase in Defense
The Government partners negotiate against the clock the last details of the new General State Budgets with the idea of being able to approve them tomorrow, Tuesday, in the Council of Ministers. According to the PSOE and United We Can, the talks face the final stretch before the definitive agreement after the unblocking of the fiscal measures announced last week. But there are still pitfalls.
The spokesman for Podemos, Pablo Fernández, assured at a press conference that the priorities for the purples are the housing law and aid for conciliation, among other things. And he has issued a warning insisting on rejecting the increase in military spending: “There cannot be an increase in defense spending. Right now what this country needs is increased social spending, not more tanks and not more planes. All the increase in spending in the budgets must be in social items and not a single cent in Defense.

Ayuso calculates that 13,000 taxpayers can leave Madrid due to the new tax on large fortunes
The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has charged again this Monday against the tax on large fortunes that the central government presented last week. “We have breakfast now with another euphemism to sweeten the fudge of the day, the so-called solidarity tax, as if in Spain those who have more would not pay more”, assured the regional president in a meeting with businessmen in Catalonia, where she pointed out that the The new measure “does not touch the already very weakened middle class, which will barely affect the highest and that the most vulnerable will not see effective for a couple of years.”
During his speech, Ayuso calculated that the new tax, which applies to fortunes above three million euros and that those who pay for assets can deduct, could mean the departure of the Community of 13,000 taxpayers, whose collection amounts to 5,000 million euros.
Precisely, the Madrid Executive reduces the wealth tax to 100%, from which the highest incomes benefit. In 2020 alone, according to Treasury data, 18,000 millionaires saved 992 million euros through this tax regime. It is a measure that the Community has applied since 2008 and that the Government of Juan Manuel Moreno in Andalusia has now imitated.
From the Madrid Executive they have indicated on other occasions that there are no statistics that show the flight of taxpayers between communities due to tax cuts. A statement that Ayuso herself now contradicts with the calculation that 13,000 taxpayers with assets above three million euros can leave the region by having to pay taxes on their wealth, as is already the case in other communities.

The PP defends that the Government choose its magistrates of the Constitutional Court beforehand so that the CGPJ can “compensate”
The Institutional Deputy Secretary of the PP, Esteban González Pons, has demanded that the Government “play fair” in the renewal of the Constitutional Court. In an interview on the program Más de Uno, on Onda Cero, he has summoned the Executive to “announce” the PP and the General Council of the Judiciary to the magistrates that he plans to propose: “We tell them what we think, they can pay attention or not, the Council knows where the Government is going to go, they try to compensate the personalities, and between all of us we make a Court in which we have to trust”, he indicated.
González Pons’s statements were made in response to the question of whether he was defending the Government’s appointment of its magistrates without the Judiciary having done so. Thus, the member of the PP has affirmed that the Constitutional “has to be made up of magistrates who compensate each other” and has assured that “the Government must negotiate” and that “it is not acceptable that it continues to pressure the Council when it does not he’s choosing.” “In that pressure on the Council, with the Government reserving the ability to choose for later, there is some underlying political evil”, he has settled.
Regarding the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary, which is approaching four years of expired mandate and the visit of the European Commissioner for Justice, Didier Reynders, Pons has defended that from the Feijóo PP they have made “all possible efforts to try undo the knot” and has said that “they are waiting for a call from the Government to resolve this matter”: “We are starting a decisive week because the deadline that Lesmes has imposed to leave is running out. I hope we will restore communication and be able to find a solution.”
