The GPP recalls that the breach of the stability objective derives from actions carried out by the Junta de Andalucía when she was Minister of Finance
The Popular Parliamentary Group has registered today the petition to appear in the Congress of the Minister of Finance in office, María Jesús Montero, to explain the reasons that have led her Ministry to intervene the accounts of the Junta de Andalucía for the eventual breach of the objectives of budgetary stability, public debt and spending rule of 2018. In this regard, the GPP recalls that said Budget was prepared by the Junta de Andalucía when María Jesús Montero was Minister of Finance.
The brief requesting the appearance of Minister Montero in Commission, signed by the spokeswoman of the GPP, Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, denounces that the decision of the Government to intervene Andalusian accounts “counteracts the agenda of reformist measures that the new one has launched Autonomous government ”, led by the PP, so it demands that it show its face in Congress to clarify it.
Likewise, the Group considers that Montero must explain “if the reasons that have been used to carry out this intervention are conceived in other Autonomous Communities and, if so, if there is any unjustified, and therefore arbitrary, discrimination in the manner from your Department. "
This petition for appearance has been announced today by the president of the PP, Pablo Casado, who has considered that "Minister Montero amends the counselor Montero." “Their breaches in the Junta de Andalucía do not have to be paid by the PP Government, which is correcting them. You must appear and explain this measure, your management as a counselor and your role in the EREs, ”he said.
