Ayuso is considering appealing the debt forgiveness to the Autonomous Communities, which will cost each Madrid resident more than 500 euros

The Government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso is considering filing an appeal for the cancellation of the State's debt to the Autonomous Communities, which will cost more than 500 euros for each Madrid resident, as announced by the Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Local Administration of the Community of Madrid, Miguel Ángel García Martín, at the press conference following the Government Council.
"I can tell you that once we know the instrument that will be used to implement it , the legal services of the Community of Madrid will obviously consider filing the corresponding appeal," said García Martín, who was accompanied by the Minister of Economy, Rocío Albert.
He said this before the Fiscal and Financial Policy Council meeting this afternoon, which, he said, will mean that each Madrid resident will pay more than 500 euros "to pay for the independence party and also for Pedro Sánchez's seat in La Moncloa".
" The debt is not going to evaporate , it will continue to be paid by each and every Spaniard, and by the people of Madrid more than anyone else. This is what Sánchez and his special envoy to Madrid, Óscar López, are offering to each and every one of the people of Madrid. They are offering them more debt and ruin," he criticised.
This Wednesday will be a key day for the Autonomous Communities. The Ministry of Finance will propose to them in the Council of Fiscal and Financial Policy, which will begin at 4:00 p.m., the forgiveness of up to 83,252 million euros of their debt , which in the case of Madrid will amount to 8,644 million euros. Andalusia and Catalonia would benefit the most from this approach , adding up to more than 43% of the forgiveness between the two.
The PP Communities have already announced that they will vote against the debt relief . However, the Government will need the vote of only one region to approve its proposal, since the Ministry of Finance has half of the votes in the CPFF. This support could even come from Catalonia or another region that agrees with the debt relief, although Junts has left the door open to voting against: "Don't let them sell us a pig in a poke."
Once the process for the autonomous regions has been completed, the debt forgiveness will have to be materialised later through an organic law, which will be submitted to a vote in Congress and the Senate , where the PP has an absolute majority and could delay the process over time. The organic law assumes that the Government needs an absolute majority in Parliament.
María Jesús Montero said on Monday that she hopes to have this organic law approved before the end of the year. "Hopefully, and if everything goes according to plan, we can have the law approved before the end of the year. We are going to push it forward as quickly as possible and, therefore, if we can count on the political groups sharing this idea, then we will have the capacity to approve it as soon as possible," said the Minister of Finance.
