He Pedro Sánchez Government has revoked Wednesday the Public transport aid For children under 14 years in Andalusiaa measure that benefited more than 1.2 million young people in the community. This surprising decision has been made after accusing the Board of “assume” a state competence and advertising, according to the Executivethat the initiative would be co -financed between both administrations. Interestingly, the Pedro Sánchez Government He is an expert in taking chest of measures or aid whose economic effort also fell to the autonomous communities.
And this decision of the central government contrasts with other occasions in which the Executive himself has presumed economic or social measures, hiding that part of the financing should be assumed by the autonomous communities. One of the most notorious examples is VAT reduction in basic foods. Although presented as a state measure to relieve the impact of inflation, Pedro Sánchez He affirmed: “We have to make that huge effort for public coffers, but necessary for our homes”, not to mention that the VAT It is a shared tax with communities, which saw their income reduced without compensation.
Another case was the 2% salary increase For public employees approved in January 2024. The Minister Óscar López He presumed that “since 2018, the Government of Spain has increased the salary of public employees by 14.9%,” obviating that this expense also falls on the Budgets of the Autonomous Communities. This is because a significant part of public employees works in services whose management is transferred to the Autonomous Communities.
In fact, a report of KPMG of 2019 indicated that the Autonomous Communities assumed approximately 61% of the total expenditure on remuneration of public employees, since they manage key competences such as health and education.
Similarly, the president Sanchez celebrated the price to the Social security of the fellows since January 1, 2024, announcing it in social networks: «Non -remunerated practices already quote. We come out a debt of years with the fellows, for social justice, ”he said in networks. However, what he did not say is that, from 2025, communities have to cover 5% not bonus by the State, with the consequently added cost.
Unpaid practices already quote.

Also in Professional training, Sanchez He presumed in 2023 that “the greatest commitment to the FP that has ever made any government” was made, referring to programs financed with European funds. However, it should be noted -something that, of course, did not do the good of Pedro -that when those funds are exhausted and the programs are consolidated, it is the communities to whom they correspond to them Continue with financing.
Thus, while on multiple occasions the Executive He has taken chest of shared measures without recognizing the economic effort of the communities, now revokes help claiming that the Junta de Andalucía A state co -financing was attributed that, according to the government, did not exist.
