Rajoy refuses to publish list of tax amnesty in 2012 – Milenio.com

Despite all opposition groups in Congress have demanded, the Prime Minister of Spain, Mariano Rajoy, said today that does not publish the list on the tax amnesty of 2012, which was hosted, among others, former vice president Rodrigo Rato, accused of alleged tax offenses, money laundering and concealment of assets.

Both Rajoy, as his number two, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, made it clear that they do not think publishing the list of about 30 000 beneficiaries of the controversial initiative, of which 715 are public, current or past positions, which are being investigated for money laundering. For now, this group, only the name is known Rato

In this way. Replied the Spanish Prime Minister Secretary General of the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE), Pedro Sanchez, who threw in Looking ruling Popular Party (PP) be with the “fraudsters” and not “workers” to also reject the creation of a commission of inquiry into the tax amnesty and the “Rato case.”

Socialist noted that the PP itself that supported in the Catalan parliament a commission of inquiry to investigate “fraud of Mr. Pujol” (former president of Catalonia). He therefore called on Rajoy to publish this list because if you do not the PSOE arriving at their government.

Rajoy insisted he will not and indicated that the process of fiscal adjustment which made its government is similar who made the PSOE in 1984 and 1991, with the difference that they would regularization that their names were not known by the Treasury and not taxed nothing, something that “does not happen now,” he said.

The PP leader stressed also that “the regularization neither clean nor cleared offenses,” noting that she managed to bring out 124 billion euros over the last three years and raise more than 37,700 million. Rajoy recalled that the PSOE was 22 years in the Government of Spain and “never got the data of a single taxpayer.”

“Out regularize someone or someone punished for breaking the law. Did well and I too will now fulfill my obligation, “Rajoy said, adding that” it is unacceptable “do one thing in government and one in opposition.

Rajoy stressed that with the performance Executive against tax fraud in this term have emerged 124 billion now going to start paying taxes. He said the action of the Tax Agency between 2012 and 2014 has allowed to raise 34.785 million euros, “the best evidence of the history of Spain”, adding that in the first quarter of this year the fund amounted to 2.889 million.

In addition, during the government control session in Congress, Pedro Sánchez denounced the “deterioration” of the democratic quality of institutions and said that since he arrived at the Moncloa Rajoy what he has done is that institutions are “put to the service of particular interest” of the PP.

Sanchez criticized the “obstructionism” of the Ministry of Finance in the investigation of the Gürtel plot, involving alleged corruption in dozens of political PP, led by Judge Pablo Ruz.

“It has the dubious honor of being the president of democracy has rejected most appearances in this Congress over the past three and a half years, 70 appearances,” Rajoy told and demanded again that render accountable for their “direct link” with “irregular funding frame” of PP.

The cave of Ali Baba

During the meeting, the Minister Finance, Cristobal Montoro, was the protagonist. And the opposition asked seven times regarding the tax amnesty 2012. The barrage of questions to Montoro quickly became a flood of calls to resign against the finance minister and former pupil of Rodrigo Rato.

Montoro, as it did on Tuesday the director of the Tax Office, and today Mariano Rajoy, clung to the data of money emerged with the process of fiscal adjustment which, incidentally, Vice President Sáenz de Santamaría own and called openly as “tax amnesty”, which declined for two years.

Therefore, for the deputy of the United Left (IU), Alberto Garzón, is unacceptable Montoro has pointed out many times politicians, journalists , athletes … fouled tax and now refuses to give information about people who “patriots are saying and are the worst offenders,” a clear reference to Rato granted.

“Here we have a justice that no worthy of the name, “said the deputy for whom the PP” for Ali Baba and the 40 thieves falls short “.
