The Spanish Government has initiated the procedures for submitting the 2027 budgets
The head of the Spanish Government has called for "generosity, responsibility and commitment" to dialogue from the groups in Congress and has particularly addressed the independence and nationalist parties in the Basque Country and Catalonia.
The Spanish Government has begun to process the submission of the State General Budget Bill 2027, as reported by the Spanish Chief Executive, Pedro Sánchez , during the days of the Economic Forum Cercle d'Economia, held in Barcelona. Despite his insistence, he wanted to make it clear that he has no intention of bringing the elections forward to the end of the legislature.
Sanchez will present his proposal for accounts for next year later than usual, which has been strongly criticised by both the opposition and the investiture partners. He has used the crisis caused by the conflict in the Middle East as an excuse to justify the delay.
He said that the order of the Ministry of Finance for the preparation of budgets will be published in the Official Gazette of the State later this week, and that the project will be taken to Congress for discussion and approval in the second semester.
"Generosity, responsibility and commitment"
Sanchez, aware that it will be difficult to obtain sufficient support to bring the accounts to a successful conclusion as a result of the disputes surrounding the PSOE, has asked the political groups in Congress for their support and effort. In particular, he has called for the "generosity, responsibility and commitment" of the dialogue, focusing on the nationalist parties of the Basque Country and Catalonia.
It explains that the housing issue will be a priority in the bill, "with the largest money item ever allocated in the history of democracy." It also promises to maintain a responsible and sustainable fiscal policy and ensures that measures will be taken to reduce public debt.
It also states that all this will be done by strengthening coordination channels with the European Union.
