PP and Vox are grown up and behave in Les Corts Valencianes like Real Madrid in the last minutes of the game at the Bernabéu, convinced that they are going to win. No matter the weight or quality of their arguments, they know that before the referee (the president of Les Corts) whistles the end (and closes the session) they are going to win the match (the vote).
It is the security that having won the elections after eight years of left-wing governments gives you. With that conviction, PP and Vox exhibited their fiscal harmony yesterday in the regional Parliament, they overturned the entire amendments to the Accompaniment Law and definitively approved the suppression of the Inheritance and Donation Tax.
The changes and the 99% bonus of the "death tax" cataloged by the PP have been the first law approved by the Valencian Chamber of this first "change" legislature. In fact, both groups agreed to alter the planned agenda to advance the approval of this norm and that could, as the president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, promised, have retroactive effects to May 28 (the day the PP won the elections ).
After showing in the Chamber their disagreements regarding gender violence, climate change or the most recent one regarding the forgiveness of historical debt, the two parties that govern the Generalitat voted this Wednesday for a 99% bonus on the tax on taxes. the inheritances and donations that will benefit around 20,000 people in the Valencian Community each year, according to the calculations of the Department of Finance.
It was precisely this figure that was criticized by the opposition, which denounced that it is governed for a few instead of for the majority. Vox responded that just by helping those 20,000 families it was already "a great day" yesterday - "if you save 6,000 euros you can invest it in a trip or in a master's degree or in going to a restaurant," said the always expressive deputy Teresa. Ramírez-. Meanwhile, PSPV and Compromís insisted that only "the richest" will benefit from the measure.
The definition of who the richest are was the one on which much of this debate and the previous one on the Budget Accompaniment Law pivoted. For the PP and Vox, the moderate and working classes will benefit from the abolition of this tax, while the socialist deputy Arcadi España insisted that it will only affect 0.4% of the Valencian population who will stop paying almost 400 into the public coffers. millions of euros. A circumstance that the Compromís parliamentarian Aitana Mas pointed out will turn the Valencian Community into "a social hell."
The debate on the amendments to the Law that accompanies the Budgets moved along the same lines. Joan Baldoví (Compromís) and José Muñoz (PSPV) focused on denouncing the changes introduced in different matters such as the alteration of the majorities in the control bodies of À Punt; the covert increase in the salaries of senior officials, and the changes in the Gaming Law to favor "the large operators" in the sector.
The popular Noelia Císcar defended that 40% of the Accompaniment Law "is dedicated to fixing the legislative disasters of the Consell de Ximo Puig" and the deputy José María Llanos (Vox) defended the tax deductions introduced in accompaniment: "Are the people rich? "They charge up to 32,000 euros?" asked the parliamentarian.
Two debates in a row where the insurmountable differences in fiscal matters between the two blocs that opt for two very distant collection models became clear. And now, PP and Vox, play at home and with the referee in their favor.
