  • The PNV supports that wealthy regions should pay less than the poor ones, aligning with their reactionary perspective.
  • The Basque fiscal charter is overly financed by the rest of Spain, contributing annually around 2,000 million euros for the Basque public policies.
  • These contributors do not receive solidarity in return as a large percentage of the contributions go to pensions of the elderly Basque society.
  • The Basque economy represents a small share (5.89%) of the national GDP, compared to Catalonia (19%).
  • It is surprising that Lehendakari Imanol Pradales justifies the Catalan quota, falsely arguing that it is the Community of Madrid who 'drains' resources.

Conclusion: The current financing system is unfair and favors the Basque Country at the expense of other communities. It's time to question whether this is justified.
