Regional
Budget
News
Almost half of the autonomous
communities, eight of the seventeen,
will start next year without budgets
and in a good number of cases
because the political landscape has
been complicated by the proximity of
the regional elections in May, which
complicate relations between parties
who have been partners
The socialist governments of
Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha
and Aragón, and those of the PP of
La Rioja and Castilla y León are
without accounts and at the gates
of the electoral campaign. They are
added Catalonia, Basque Country
and Andalusia, which do not have
autonomous in 2019 and are without
budgets for different reasons.
The extension of the 2018 accounts
does not have to be definitive; A
Budget may be approved in the first
months of the year, but the timetable
is getting closer because at the end
of March the parliaments will be
dissolved for holding the elections.
