La Junta Directiva critica a Montero por no actualizar las entregas en Andalucía

The Ministry of Economy, Finance, and European Funds and spokesperson for the Andalusian Government, Carolina España (PP-A), criticized the first vice president of the Central Government and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, on Wednesday for the delays in delivering almost 900 million euros to Andalusia in the first three months of this year. This delay was due to the non-approval of the general budgets for this year.

Specifically, there were 863 million euros that should have been delivered to Andalusia for the months of January, February, and March. Carolina España expressed dissatisfaction with the delay in these funds, which are crucial for investing in essential public services in the region.

The Treasury chief highlighted the significant impact of not approving the new budgets on the financial situation of Andalusia. The lack of funds has already caused a loss of around 900 million euros in the first quarter of the year. This situation has affected various policies and services, such as the addiction system and infrastructure investments.

Carolina España also addressed the controversy surrounding María Jesús Montero’s recent comments regarding a legal decision in Catalonia. She emphasized the importance of accountability and respect for the presumption of innocence in such matters.

Furthermore, questions were raised about potential irregularities in bonuses granted to the Progress and Health Foundation, of which Montero was previously president. These issues underscore the need for transparency and accountability in public institutions.

In conclusion, Carolina España reiterated the government’s commitment to public health and emphasized the importance of fulfilling financial obligations to ensure the effective delivery of services to all citizens in Andalusia.
