Citrus view: “In March, VAT on electricity will increase to 21%”
Today we’re flying low height of the office of the Ministry of Public Works during the time of Abalos. Then, as the judge himself noted in the Koldo case, businessman Victor Aldama had a special pass through the ministry. The President of the Zamora Football Club was the one who contacted Koldo Garcia, Abalos’s trusted man. At the same time, he was an external consultant to Air Europa, since this airline recognized Onda Cero. Aldama’s advice coincided with the multimillion-dollar government bailout of the Hidalgo airline.
The government paid him 475 million ransom and another 160 million later transferred to the PCI. In addition, they were provided with 9 flights to deliver medicines from China. Air Europa indicates to this station that they complied with legal requirements in the rescue and that the flights were closed at market price, with no surcharges. Abalos in “Mas de uno” admitted that he saw Aldama several times, but the help was legal.
The fact is that Victor Aldama, one of the brains behind the Fomento mask conspiracy, was already in the field of view of the Tax Agency. National Fraud Office inspectors, the Tax Agency’s “Untouchables”, have already been investigating Victor Aldama’s companies, such as MTM 180 Capital. The inspectors did not agree with the staggering growth of this society which, due to the lack of traffic during the pandemic, issued a bill of 2.5 million euros. According to UCO, the central operational unit of the Guardia Civil, it was this company that funneled the alleged illegal commissions in Koldo’s scheme in the distribution of mask purchases in public works. The investigation also indicates that a significant number of members of this network continued to communicate long after the introduction of masks, almost until the present day. Come on, this can be interpreted to mean that we can find new revelations.

In the world of economics, we also need to pay attention to Euribor and VAT. February will end with a recovery in Euribor, the main indicator of adjustable-rate mortgages. Say goodbye to the month with 3.66%. And De Guindos says the ECB will see whether it plans to cut interest rates in the summer, which will depend on inflation. Tomorrow we will learn that rising CPI and energy are key. In March, VAT on electricity will increase to 21% and the price of electricity was on average below 45 euros, and this was the limit that allowed not to increase VAT.
