Bruselas advierte del riesgo de reestructurar la deuda del fondo europeo de recuperación como propone España
La Comisión señala que aplazar la amortización o pagar menos capital al principio aumenta el coste de los intereses
The European Commission is wary of Spain's proposal to alter the timeline for returning nearly 600 billion euros in funds requested to support countries hardest hit by the pandemic, especially Spain and Italy. Spain's suggestion to extend the amortization period of this loan in order to secure more resources and allocate them to the EU budget would make it more expensive, according to the EU executive's initial analysis.
This is clearly stated in a working paper, accessed by EL PAÍS, that has been produced during the ongoing negotiations for the EU's next 2028-2034 budget, a process in which positions among member states have become increasingly strained. Spain proposed a restructuring of the debt that would provide an additional budgetary margin of 70 billion during that budgetary period.
However, Germany and the other so-called frugal countries do not agree. Now, a mere two-page document from the EU executive weakens Spain's alternative.
