What are the main changes introduced by the new Basque tax agreement, and how will they impact different income groups in the region?

The Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) and the Socialist Party of the Basque Country (PSE-EE) have reached an agreement with Podemos on a revised tax plan, which will be approved in the three Basque Country regional parliaments. The agreement includes tax rebates of up to €2,800 for individuals earning less than €20,000, regardless of their tax contributions. This follows a previous failed agreement after Podemos consulted its grassroots members.", A2="The agreement represents a strategic victory for the Basque Socialist Party, who rejected a potential deal with the Basque PP, opting instead to negotiate with Podemos. This demonstrates a shift in the Basque political landscape, highlighting the increasing influence of Podemos in regional politics and the PNV's willingness to compromise to achieve its fiscal goals.", A3="This revised tax plan will have significant long-term implications for Basque Country's budget and the distribution of wealth.
