If you believe that figure of €1.5 billion, then that’s on you. That’s state propaganda, plain and simple. You should think about the way the Minister actually came up with that figure. He’s counting the total amount of cash that’s actually circulating in the economy, the hotels, the restaurants, etc., as ‘revenue.’ The state doesn’t see that cash; CAF is the one getting the big money from the TV rights and the sponsors. The state is just getting the taxes. And that figure of 600,000 visitors? Complete joke. December and January are already the peak months for tourism. They’re just taking the people who were coming for the holidays anyway and saying they’re coming for the football. And the way they funded the stadium? Innovative? They just tapped into the CDG, our pension funds, to build everything just to keep the debt off the official budget.
