Catalan leader Artur Mas launched a cutback package that anticipates nearly 2.6 billion euros in savings. Cleaning up government accounts is the most important goal of the adjustments. When all is said and done, it is one of the most grievous efforts for the regions next to transfer fees. For Artur Mas the cutbacks serve to stymie the Tripartito's management, which is well-known for squandering money.
In addition he has a chance to justify his intention to win a financial arrangement on behalf of Catalonia in the Basque or Navarin style.
The truth is that when the CCAA are labeled as the distorters and the principal drain on public funds, the austerity measures undertaken by the Generalitat president are going in the right direction.
So the rest of the regional governments will follow its path.
