70 billion per extension, only 18.5. Billions for Business: As Government Investes for Votes, Not Economy

Today, I saw how much business was divided in 2024, but even from 2021 to 2025, and compared to the possible division of 70 million euros unplanned as additions called “voter units”. This is important that we understand how governments and politics work and invest them for their votes, but not for the well-being of the economy. Or how you don't invest in the economy and how for its interest you invest dramatically.

Some important points:

1. The government for the main ministry and responsible for entrepreneurship, industry and trade has allocated only 24.8m euros in 2024. But of them, only 14.3m euros go towards businesses, others are for government and administration salaries, for additions, for municipality and for goods and services. This means that, compared to investing in votes (states), only 21% are invested in businesses;

2. In turn, the government has divided for five years (2021-2025) less tools for businesses and private sector responsible ministries (MINT) than it has one single time (December 2024) for additions seen as electoral action to impose and lure citizens to the vote. For 5 years, 69m euros in total for the ministry in charge and for aid/states have been allocated 70m euros with only one decision, in one case;

3. Although the value of the diaspora has increased markedly for 3-4 years and the deficit has increased from 2.8 billion euros (year 2020) to about 5.3 billion euros in 2024, no specific programme has been developed to address the challenge of imports and the deficit being shut out of the market about 5 billion euros a year, only in November 2024 473m and December do we expect over 500 million commercial losses in goods. The value of investments in the trade minister has not increased, rather;

4. This graphs and these official figures show us how governments care for their vote, but not for businesses and the private sector where they receive taxes. Not for the emerging economy and expanding public well-being. The fact that 70m for additional-votes and 18.5m euros for businesses is the most accurate indicator showing government priorities and development objectives;

5. During this time, the budget for aid and social policy has increased 1,156m for 2025 (1.16 billion euros) until the MINT budget has remained 28 million. Over the 3-4 years, the value of social policies may have exceeded 4 billion euros), while the value of supporting businesses through MINT has been less than 70m euros (69M) or precisely how separate they have been with a single action in December 2024 for largely electoral reasons.
