• The Deputy Secretary for Productive Sectors presents a conclusive report on the benefits for Andalusia of financial aid mechanisms
• The Government has helped to save financial interests of 7.678 million euros during the crisis
• "In addition to saving, we must remember that it was impossible for the Board to seek financing in the markets since 2011," said Venzal.
• «The Junta would have gone bankrupt if it had not been for the permanent help of the Government of Rajoy»
The Deputy Secretary of Productive Sectors of the Andalusian PP, Pablo Venzal, reported today on the incidence in Andalusia of the financial aid mechanisms established by the Government of Mariano Rajoy between 2012 and 2016. With these data, "the big lie of Susana Díaz on the 'usury' of the government with Andalusia, "he said.
The popular leader recounted reports from the Ministry of Finance referring to the worst period of the crisis, when the risk premium exceeded 600 points and prevented the autonomous communities from going to the markets to finance themselves. According to these reports, the Junta de Andalucía saved between 2012 and 2016 the figure of 7.678,13 million euros that result from subtracting what would have been paid for interest in the markets and what was actually paid through government mechanisms. .
Thus, the 2012 FLA was financed at 5,25% interest, when in the markets it would have had to be financed at 10,55%. The Supplier Payment Fund had an initial interest of 5,91%, while in the markets they would have paid interest of 13,51%. The rest of the years recorded, the interest paid through these government mechanisms was less than half of what would have been obtained in the financial markets.
Pablo Venzal recalled that the Junta de Andalucía could not even have financed itself in the markets due to "the situation of the risk premium that Solbes and Zapatero had caused." "In addition to the savings of 7.678 million - said Venzal - they had been unable to go to the markets since 2011, so it is even less understandable that Susana Díaz now has the slightest reproach towards the government."
However, Susana Díaz has referred on several occasions to government aid as if it had taken advantage of them. "They have not given us anything, they have already charged us a usury price," she came to snap at Juanma Moreno in a control session in Parliament.
For the deputy secretary of the PP, the Board "would have gone bankrupt if it had not been for the permanent help of the Rajoy government in the hard years of the crisis, which in all these years has meant the spectacular figure of 37.500 million, without which we could not be talking about recovery now as we are doing.
