The figure represents practically a quarter of the 5,461 proposals registered by the opposition to the budget project of the coalition government.

From the Popular Party they criticize that this new sieve has prevented items such as the five million for the State Public Employment Service (SEPE) from the Recovery Plan from being discussed, as well as a subsidy of 20 cents for heating diesel and different plans to promote employment in the autonomous communities, which would involve an investment of 20 million euros in the Balearic Islands and another five million in Ceuta, among others.
THIS IS THE THIRD SCREENING TO THE AMENDMENTS
The first screening of the party proposals was carried out by the lawyers of the Congress, who knocked down fifty amendments for not keeping the amendments related to public accounts or the economic policy of the Government, as well as other issues that must be regulated in a law organic.
This included three of the four partial amendments that Unidas Podemos, ERC and Bildu presented with the aim of regulating rental prices and prohibiting evictions.
The second round of vetoes was carried out by the Ministry of Finance, which vetoed 984 partial amendments presented to the budgets, understanding that the initiatives of the groups implied an increase in spending or a decrease in expected income, that is, if they are out of balance with the budget. .
VETOS ARE LIFTED ON COMPROMISE AMENDMENTS
The Executive has also notified the lifting of the veto on seven partial amendments to Compromís, within the framework of an agreement with PSOE and Podemos to allocate 62.8 million euros between investments and direct transfers to the Valencian territory.
The main negotiations of Compromís, as explained by the formation, are investments in Alicante, local service, highways, metropolitan transport of Valencia, cultural containers, music bands and recovery of spaces for citizens.
