Except that Euskadi had a pro-independence armed group that killed 829 people from 1975 to 2011. Other than that, doesn't Euskadi have its own tax system, distinct from the Spanish one? I think it's not fair to compare both situations.
- narag 9y agoApart for the (unfair) advantage, the salient point of a separate tax collection is that our administration can't investigate violations inside that region for taxes or public spending. There are virtually no corruption cases there. That doesn't mean there is no corruption there, but that we can't know because the people in charge of investigation is the same that could be investigated. This seems to be the reason they've been so quiet lately.
