Vox denounced that the reform of the Regulations of the Cortes of Castilla-La Mancha promoted by the PSOE “could be illegal”, violating, according to its spokesperson Iván Sánchez, the Organic Law of Financing Political Parties. The party maintains that the changes introduced directly affect the internal financing system of the parliamentary groups and the functioning of the Chamber, compromising, according to it, legality and institutional transparency. From the group, they explain that the text promoted by the socialists introduces modifications that affect the rules for managing funds and parliamentary control. Vox warns that these measures “could be designed to strengthen the PSOE’s control over the Cortes and protect its privilege structure.” Sánchez denounced the way the reform was handled and considered that the procedure is “opaque, it lacks debate, it does not have a commission, it was handled through an emergency procedure and in a single reading format, unilaterally, without warning, without dialogue, without allowing participation.” According to him, this path opens the door to mechanisms that strengthen the socialist “dominant roll” and make the work of controlling the opposition more difficult. Alongside this complaint, Vox demanded an end to financial subsidies received by parliamentary groups. The amendment presented in this regard was rejected by the Table of Cortes, a body controlled by the PP and the PSOE. The training affirms that this refusal seeks to maintain internal achievements which do not meet the general interest. Sánchez highlighted that “these subsidies allowed, among other things, the Socialist Party to allocate 415,000 euros from the accounts of the PSOE of Castile-La Mancha to the national leadership of Ferraz investigated by the UCO and with which it shares the same CIF”. For Vox, this situation demonstrates the need to review the model and remove this aid to guarantee transparency.
