This Is What Each Psoe Voter Should Pay to Write Off Catalonia's Million-dollar Debt

The Debt Forgiveness for Catalonia Granted by the Government Has Created a Strong Controversy. It Is One of the Topics That Has Circulated Most on Social Media and by Word of Mouth These Weeks.

The New Concession by the Government to the Catalan Independentists Represents Another Example of Sánchez's Government Fragility.

Oriol Junqueras, Leader of Esquerra Republicana, Announced This Monday That His Party Has Reached an Agreement with the Government of Spain. All to Reduce by 22% the Debt That the Generalitat Has with the Regional Liquidity Fund (FLA). This Cut Equals 17.104 Billion Euros.

The Truth Is That the News Has Created a Great and Strong Discussion on Social Media. Users Have Quickly Criticized the Government and Particularly Pedro Sánchez for Once Again 'Kneeling' to the Independentist Demands.

Following This, a Tweet Has Circulated Rapidly. The Petition by Some Users Has Gone Viral, Asking That It Be Precisely PSOE Voters Who Pay That Forgiven Debt.

The Viral Tweet Urges:

"Those Who Vote for PSOE, Why Don't You Pay the 17,000,000,000 Euros That Have Been Forgiven to Catalonia from Your Own Damn Pocket? It Comes to Exactly 2,350€ Each."

The Truth Is That Socialists Garnered More Than 7 Million Votes in 2023. Which Means More Than 2,100 Euros per Voter.

If They Managed to Get Seven Million Voters to Contribute That Amount, the Reality Is That the Debt Would Be Settled. Precisely by Those Who Made It Possible for the Government to Forgive That Debt to Catalonia Today.

This Is How ERC Announced the Catalan Debt Forgiveness

According to What Was Communicated by ERC, the Measure Will Be Approved This Wednesday at the Meeting of the Fiscal and Financial Policy Council. It Will Be Where the Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, Will Address Issues Related to Regional Financing Along with the Communities. Subsequently, It Will Be Debated in the Congress of Deputies.

Junqueras Trusts That the Proposal Will Succeed in Both Instances and Considers That, Except for PP and Vox, the Rest of the Formations Will Not Oppose the Measure.

The Debt Reduction Was Part of the Negotiations Between ERC and the Central Government During Pedro Sánchez's Investiture Process. Initially, the Agreement Between Sánchez and the Former Catalan Leader Pere Aragonès Contemplated a Forgiveness of 15 Billion Euros. That Is, 20% of the Debt, but the Figure Has Been Increased.

"It Is Evident That We Have Achieved a Greater Benefit Than What Was Initially Agreed," Junqueras Highlighted.

The Republican Leader Emphasized That the Forgiveness of 17.104 Billion Euros Equals the Annual Investment by the Government in Key Sectors. Such as Health, Education, Universities, and Research.

Additionally, It Represents 19.9% of the Total Debt of the Catalan Administration, Which Means Approximately 2,300 Euros per Citizen. And About 9,200 Euros for an Average Family of Four Members. "It's Like We Are Freeing Catalan Families from the Cost of a Mortgage for an Entire Year," He Explained.

Despite This Agreement, ERC Has Made It Clear That They Will Not Support the General State Budgets for 2025. Neither in Catalonia nor at the State Level.
