The president of the AIReFCristina Herrero, has warned the Sánchez Government that the sustainability of public finances and compliance with the path of public deficit are inalienable if you want to impose the Catalan quota. The person in charge considers that carrying out the new European tax governance framework is a “red line” to be able to put the tax gift from Sánchez to ERC to be able to invest Illa.
During an event this Tuesday with Fedea and the General Council of Economists (CGE), Herrero has asked to “be careful” and respect three essential vertices to carry out the Executive’s intentions.
These three vertices are: compliance with fiscal rules and, therefore, spending commitments; the regional financing and extraordinary financing mechanisms and the return to the markets of the autonomous communities.

“For us, assuming or facing each of these aspects in a fragmented way is a mistake and I am not so clear that it will give a zero sum in all public administrations,” Herrero indicated in regard to the negotiations. between the Government and Republican Left for unique financing Catalonia.
Herrero has asked to “look at everything together.” “The tax commitments They have to be complied with and reforms must be addressed because as long as there are arguments for not complying with the fiscal rules, the fiscal framework will continue to not be credible,” he added.
For this reason, it has demanded that financing be addressed jointly to ensure that the measures taken, “whether singular or not”, do not affect sustainability and the feasibility of meeting commitments.
«When we know the agreement in its entirety, we will look to see if that changes in any way our statement on the sustainability and feasibility of the agreement. structural tax plan which we are going to know shortly,” he concluded.
