THE ROLE OF CASTILLA AND LEON IN FUNDING
The last term in the statutory reforms was one of the hot spots. This will start trying to resolve the thorny issue of regional funding. And do not think that this is a debate outside our daily needs, because when it comes to economic resources, we all play the education and health, infrastructure, or the quality of social benefits that we receive.
The debate is already a reality, following the adoption of new statutes of autonomy, some communities in Catalonia at the head are putting forward divisive and unfair. The results are alarming, particularly for the impoverished communities of the interior, such as Aragon, Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura and Castilla-León our. Montilla proposals and its partners are unacceptable for those who want a federal model, egalitarian and united for the whole of Spain, as he delves into the asymmetrical nature of the Autonomous State, so the model is discriminating and unsupportive, does not guarantee financial sufficiency requires the provision of educational, social, health and infrastructure provision needed by all citizens regardless of their place of residence.
The onslaught of the Catalan government, claims that the new model ensure funding for a side that will always be at least 18% of the state's investments, and, moreover, that social spending is conducted exclusively by population, without considering factors such as population dispersion, the land surface, aging depopulation, which enormously expensive to provide public services. And that, in the current model, the dispersion weighs 1.2% and 4.2% surface only.
Some numbers are clarifying. To Castile and Leon was assigned to EUR 2.189 million in infrastructure investments in the State Budget for 2008 (less than 9% of total territorialized Part freely available by the Central Government not often we play almost anything), with the model "Catalan", that premium percentage share of GDP, our region lost 36% of these investments, while the model Andalusian that focuses on population, Castilla y León state would cut its investment by 34%. It is outrageous that our public officials autonomous, aware of these facts, have been unable to articulate a common front with warring communities of the Interior Spain, and Aragon. Aragon financial model that takes into account variables such as territory, depopulation, aging, dispersion, topography, natural areas and heritage, Castilla-Leon applied to investment would be about equivalent to 4,000 million euros twice what we currently allocated!.
are bad times for poetry in Castile and Leon, will suffer further cuts in agricultural funds, European aid will disappear, regional funding drastically reduced our resources, we refused to reclaim our historic debt, passively accept differential tort and unfair competition provincial regimes of the Basque Country and Navarre, were inadequately equipped health and education transfers. Does anyone still believe that We do not need a strong section of English in this country?.
