“Almost 5.5 billion euros of the subsidies from the European funds that were planned to arrive in Spain in 2024 will not do so due to the Government's delays in fulfilling several commitments made with Brussels within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan. The European Commission has accepted the proposal of the Spanish Executive to postpone and modify up to 69 milestones of the plan, which means that a total of 11,747 million euros of subsidies will reach Spain in 2024 compared to the 17,241 million initially planned before the Addendum, approved this Monday by the European Commission” Again, good luck Mrs Von der Leyen
While holding the EU council presidency and striving for re-election at home, the Spanish government keeps hiding, as best it can, its poor efforts at distributing the billions in EU recovery funds it has received. The country has failed to provide concrete accounting for the €37.04 billion in NextGeneration funds it has received so far, despite EU mandates. Last February, the European Commission imposed a requirement for countries to publish a biannual ranking of the 100 largest beneficiaries of NextGeneration funds in each of the member states. Spain has yet to publish a single list. Good luck Mrs Von der Leyen
