It is increasingly difficult to track the Government's statements on tax increases and cuts. In 2012 and there was a dance Yenka: one step forward, one back. Some ministers promised would not raise VAT, others left in the air. Finally, rose and announced in July.
This year seemed clearer. Cristobal Montoro categorically ruled only 10 days ago that the government will raise taxes in 2013. But on Tuesday, in a new exercise of the dance, the Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, the door opened again: "I do not want to raise taxes like VAT or income tax this year but in the end, also depend on the forecasts growth and the path of the deficit for the coming years. " The Government has just worsen precisely its growth forecasts, which opens the door to these new highs.

However, government sources suggest that this Friday is scheduled to present and increases VAT or income tax or major tax increases. Nor serious cuts. But even that is unclear. The Government now lives in the process of negotiating with Brussels and especially with pressure from Germany. Need to make a strong reform plan, sources of the Executive, to Brussels flexibility granted under the deficit-agreed 4.5% to 6% -.
Rajoy, at a joint press conference with his Slovak counterpart, Robert Fico, which coincided with the Spanish in the settings need not impede growth, pointed to a kind of soft cuts: "We will not make cuts on Friday as those did last year, it is likely that some budget have to do ".
Rajoy did not elaborate. The government takes weeks preparing to announce the new reform package on Friday. But it seems easy to close. In fact, the Vice President, Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, was announced three weeks ago and was delayed. Government sources speak of further pressure from Brussels and Germany to toughen the planned reforms.
The government has to satisfy them, but also looks to Spain and do not want to make many more cuts by the dramatic deterioration of image you already have and it is installed executive largely convinced that excessive cuts are sinking the economy - in 2012 it was said that 2013 would be the year of recovery and now this has been delayed to 2014 - and destroying jobs. Although the April unemployment data that handles Executive presented yet-not bad, the unemployment rate of 27% forecast by the IMF for 2013 is a huge slab.
So the government wanted to concentrate its major reforms Friday liberalization of professional services, more energy reforms and the development of market unit. However, it seems that Brussels is willing to be content. It requires more, and hence the point of Rajoy cuts "in some games."
Parked at the moment a new cut in the salaries of officials insisted discard-Montoro-are two other major items of the Budget: pensions and unemployment insurance. In the first, Rajoy wants to avoid touching the current pension a very politically sensitive issue, and left without inflation adjustments to the 2013 missing their word and was a huge image deterioration. Trading in Brussels focuses on bringing forward the entry into force of retirement to 67 years and changing the conditions for access to future pensions, so as to reduce total spending. The government will point this reform on Friday, perhaps with a calendar, but in principle they will take to rule a working group specifically created just 10 days ago to make a proposal to discuss details.
With regard to unemployment insurance, the government has already made last year an amendment to lower benefits from six months-the maximum is two years. Executive Now there is a new twist and even the possibility of a paradigm shift. But the issue is politically sensitive and Rajoy has the last word. As usual with the president, until the last minute will not close the package.
