He played there at the beginning of autonomy, he knew how to lead other autonomous communitieswe have done it throughout this process and we have also led the renewal of the statutes of autonomy, that of Andalusia in 2007 with a ceiling of competences equivalent to that of Catalonia, and we want to do it now too, ensuring that the final solution to financing “It is a solution for everyone, not just for a few.”
This was stated by the secretary general of the PSOE-A, Juan Espadas, this Saturday in Madrid, before attending the meeting of the Federal Committee, with which the Socialist Party begins the political journey and convening the Federal Congress, which opens a debate to update the political project.It is time to do it and give a new position to the challenges of this country“, said Espadas, as reported in a statement released by the Andalusian PSOE.
The Secretary General of the Andalusian Socialists insisted on the need to “demonstrate here today, and this is also the commitment of the President of the Government and Secretary General, that inter-territorial solidarity is the element that ends up concluding a great State agreement.”We only need the right to live up to it and to be resolutely in the general interest of citizens. and not because of a political strategy aimed simply at exhausting and overthrowing the government of Pedro Sánchez,” he added.
Espadas stressed that the Federal Congress “comes after achieving one of the most important political goals of recent yearsand in which the Socialist Party has given its all, which means that the recognition of diversity in our country strengthens the unity of Spain.When the territorial debate is led by a socialist president of Catalonia, it has the guarantee And he does it with Catalonia and Spain in mind,” he added.
In this sense, Espadas also indicated that “when we talk here about the territorial debate or the financing model, an issue that has been rooted for too long, we are going to do it, and from the PSOE of Andalusia we will do it, being clear that if we are committed to ensuring that this recognition of diversity promotes unity, now what we want to achieve is that This is in no way intended to undermine solidarity between territories.“.
“Diversity must also guarantee solidarity, because otherwise it will not work,” stressed the general secretary of the Andalusian socialists.
