Ayuso accuses Sánchez of “imposing debt forgiveness at gunpoint”

The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has this Monday censured the debt forgiveness for the autonomous communities, "a drag" that, according to the leader of the PP, the Government wants to "impose at gunpoint" on all Spaniards.

"You cannot be more brazen and you cannot be more arbitrary," said Díaz Ayuso from Mérida, where she signed several agreements with the president of the Regional Government of Extremadura, María Guardiola.

The Vice President and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, announced this Monday that the State will assume 83.252 billion euros of debt from the autonomous communities, a measure to benefit "all" the regions of the common regime that will be taken to the Fiscal and Financial Policy Council (CPFF) this Wednesday.

Charge against Catalonia

Ayuso believes that the left and nationalism have placed Catalonia in the situation it is in now, of business collapse and massive tax increases, "while they are using the money of all Spaniards to create a parallel nation, expelling the Treasury technicians, creating their own fund, embassies, etc."

An extravagance at the expense of the treasury of all Spaniards, according to Díaz Ayuso, who has criticised the fact that now “another amount of money has to be put in to continue fattening the legislature”.

In his opinion, the rest of Spain cannot continue to assume the "nationalist bill."

Forgiving debts does not mean that they will "evaporate", he said, since in the end they will be inherited by the new generations.

Guardiola, for his part, has said that the pardon means “paying the price” for the Catalan separatists' spending to continue “fattening up the legislature.”

Guardiola has accused Pedro Sánchez of being a president “servile to separatism and disloyal” to the rest of the autonomous communities, especially those governed by the PP.

In his opinion, the CPFF should discuss the reform of the "outdated" system of regional financing, with a proposal on the table, and not the forgiveness of the debt, which is what the separatists want.
