Carlos Mazón announced this morning that "shortly" he will travel to Catalonia to "encourage" his companies "to come to the Valencian Community, to explain to them that there is freedom here, that they can begin a new stage of prosperity." He said it in an intervention in the newspaper "Las Provincias". In this regard, he added that he will do so "by notifying his president Pere Aragonés, unlike him, who came to an event in Valencia in October and did so without warning, which even at a security level could have helped him, I I will inform you."
Asked what he is going to do not only to attract Catalan companies but also to prevent those that left Catalonia because of the process from staying, he announced that "I want this land to be as attractive as possible." "I want to explain in Catalonia that here we have lowered taxes such as donations and inheritance taxes, that we help companies, that we do not persecute anyone, that we do not fine anyone, and that they compare what it means to carry out their activity in one place or another ". "I want them to come not because they run away, threatened, I want them to come because they see us as the best place to work," he added.
In this context, he explained that what these companies will have "is a great community that has changed, that has opened its doors, that is friendly to investment and that, therefore, they will be able to make the decision freely, which is what they deserve." Catalan companies as Spanish as they are," he stated. "If a company wants to return to Barcelona, I am not going to say: 'Fine them', but I am going to try to do my own homework and be (a territory) as attractive as possible." possible for them to establish themselves in the Valencian Community", he concluded.
Carlos Mazón has not hesitated today to attack the Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, who yesterday rejected the possibility of activating a temporary leveling fund to compensate for the underfinancing of some autonomies until a new financing model is approved. The Valencian president, in an intervention in the newspaper Las Provincias,
The head of the Treasury justified her rejection because, as she said, she raised this issue and the group of communities said no," she indicated, meaning that "it is easy to agree with those who think the same, what is difficult is to agree with those who think differently.” This week, Carlos Mazón, Juanma Moreno Bonilla, Fernández Varas and García-Page, in a meeting in Fitur, demanded this palliative measure, which is the same one that Fedea has also requested in a report.
It is also a measure contemplated in Sumar's pact with the PSOE for Sánchez's investiture. Mazón has wondered what Compromís, Sumar's partner in Congress, thinks of Montero's rejection of the equalization fund. "Just a few weeks ago, Compromís y Sumar and the PSOE signed an agreement that expressly said that a leveling fund had to be activated," Mazón recalled.
