The Socialist Parliamentary Group has formalized the submission of 1,297 partial amendments to the Community Budget Bill for 2027, with a total amount of 443.70 million euros. Among the main modifications proposed is an autonomous fund endowed with 150 million in direct aid to compensate for the losses of the agricultural sector.
In addition, the socialists advocate the approval of a Law for Depopulation and Land Management that strengthens the financing of town councils, while at the same time calling for changes to some accounts that they denounce as going to cut the financing intended for the unions and demanding that “what corresponds to them” be maintained.
Of the total of 1,297 partial amendments registered, 68 are directed to the articles of the Budget Bill itself and 82 to the associated Tax Measures Law, while the rest is distributed among different programs and items of the budget project.
The Socialist spokesperson for Economy and Finance in the Cortes of Castilla y León, Mabel Fernández, has reproached the PP and Vox regional Executive for having limited itself to accumulating items “without knowing where it wants to take Castilla y León” and, at the same time, “ignores” the concerns of citizens, such as the “drama” of waiting lists, for which she assures that “no real solution” is seen in the accounts currently being processed. She also criticized that the budget project does not include effective measures to retain talent, while “accepting in resignation the loss of a future in this land.”
“The Government of Mañueco has opted for a chainsaw budget model that weakens the public sector while prioritizing tax cuts without assessing their impact. This is the recipe that Trump has applied in the United States, Bolsonaro in Brazil, Milei in Argentina, and that has failed,” Fernández said, warning that Castilla y León does not need to import policies from other countries that have caused “more inequality, worse public services, and less cohesion.”
The Socialist leader has mocked the supposed good management that “the Junta” “boasts” of and has stressed that the Airef has warned of the risk that the spending rule will be breached.
"If the PP really wants useful budgets for Castilla y León, then in our amendments it has the opportunity to show it, because with this it will be able to have more representation in Spain and in Europe and its interests will be better defended," the spokesperson has rounded it off.
