The governing party in Spain, the Partido Popular, approved the latest General Budget wielding their absolute majority in Parliament. The budget bears the seal of a harsh policy of cutbacks as a consequence of the EU demands for deficit reduction. However, upon analysing the figures carefully, there are several rather peculiar expenses to be seen.
One of them is assignation of almost €20 million to the Spanish Congress under the item of "Office Supplies", and a further €11m to the same item for the Senate. The fact that no further details of this expense are supplied is due to the budget autonomy given the Congress by the Spanish Constitution.
