Moreno Bonilla's deal with Vox: what the Andalusian pact will cost

The price of the Andalusian investiture: how much will it cost the public purse?

The deal between Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla's PP and Vox for the investiture in Andalusia is not just about politics. The pact, which rules out a third election, comes loaded with economic concessions that are already raising scepticism among analysts. The key lies in what has been negotiated in exchange for Abascal's party's support.

According to the information that has emerged, the agreement includes commitments on tax and spending that could strain the regional budget. The reference to "solar panels" in the debate is no coincidence: Vox's push for tax cuts and scrapping green taxes clashes with the need for revenue to maintain public services. In addition, the mention of "thousands of cronies" and "public companies handling millions" points to a possible downsizing of the administrative structure inherited from the PSOE.

The main antiestéticar is that the pact will translate into tax cuts that mostly benefit high earners, while social spending is reduced. Moreno Bonilla, who has already governed with occasional support from Vox, knows that this stable alliance could cost him dearly in terms of image. But it also allows him to pass a budget he will need to sustain Andalusia's economic recovery.

With no official figures yet, the unknown is the net impact on the deficit. If Vox imposes conditions such as abolishing the wealth tax or cutting spending on equality policies, the cost will fall on public services. For now, the silence over the details fuels suspicion. What seems clear is that the "broad heart" the Andalusian left used to boast about no longer fits in the regional accounts.
