The general secretary of the PSOE Aragon, Javier Lambán, launched a very hard blow to the spokesperson for the Spanish governmentPilar Alegría, also from Aragon, during an event in the city of Huesca, where she presented her memoir, “A political emotion: Memories of a service in Aragon and Spain”.
During this event, Lambán gave his opinion on the process to succeed him as secretary general of the regional PSOE. “The natural candidate, of course not“, said the Aragonese politician about the Minister of Education.
He considered that whoever leads the PSOE Aragón “must be an Aragonese man or woman committed to the territory and who has shown considerable effort for the territory, to give everything for the territory of the three provinces of the community, who is well versed in the truth, that has principles, he is not a simple passerby taking advantage of politicsbut rather that politics really manages to bring the best of itself and that the society to which it belongs grows.
“I am convinced that the Secretary General who will succeed me will be a person who meets these characteristics.”
About budgets
Lambán also gave “the benefit of the doubt” to the intention of the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, to approve the General State Budgets (PGE) for 2025, emphasizing that “It is difficult to govern” with the partners you have.
“I have always warned that forming a government with the parliamentary majority with which Sánchez formed the government was an extremely complicated task,” said Lambán, emphasizing that in the Congress of Deputies “there is a conservative majority” and that “ faced with a legislature with this disparity of partners, so different from each other, some radically opposed to the Spanish Constitution, it was entering a garden difficult to exit: “We will have to wait for the president’s explanations.”
Javier Lambán considered that Spain above all needs “stability and when it is not assured it is difficult to govern”, adding: “If this situation of lack of continuous parliamentary support, of continuous extensions of the budget , happened, I would dissolve Parliament and I would call elections, but I am talking about myself; There are many ways to interpret politics and all of them may be more or less respectable.
Regarding his differences with the leadership of the PSOE of Upper Aragon, Lambán welcomed everyone and stressed that he had “no kind of animosity towards anyone in this province”, but on the contrary, “a lot of affection”, emphasizing that During his mandate as president of the Autonomous Community, he promoted “the progress and well-being of the inhabitants of Upper Aragon”.
About the Errejón case
Regarding the Errejón case, the general secretary of the Aragonese PSOE considered that “What happened in Sumar is particularly paradoxical because this man seriously broke the rules that were the banner of his party, making it, if possible, a more serious crime and the sooner this matter is resolved the better.
Corruption
The former president of the regional government clarified that “Corruption is one of the deadliest cancers of democracy, it is surely what distances citizens the most from democracy, from institutions, and in Spain we have suffered from this since the 90s.
“All parties have committed corruption crimes, or rather activists of all parties, and I am very sorry for every case that occurs, regardless of party, but I am even more sorry when it affects my party. “
“I can assume that My government has spent eight years full of transparencyof cleanliness, without any stain or shadow in his work, and what I hope is that all these dark clouds which are forming at the moment over us and over Spain, are dissipated as quickly as possible.
On his political legacy
About his book of memoirs, he said that it was a political biography in which he tours his institutional and organic journey with references to his personal biography: “Almost always the personal determines the public “.
“I demand my government, the government of Aragon, the eight years from 2015 to 2023in which we laid the foundations of the Aragon of the 21st century; I say this without any kind of petulance, counting on very precious people from this province, with two magnificent advisors, Marta Gastón and María Victoria Broto, with a press manager also from Huesca, with Olga Alastruey, general director, with a another set of people. from here they will say the best of themselves, like those of Huesca and those of Zaragoza and those of Teruel, because I have always tried to ensure that there is not a single privileged province of my different ministries, I tried to do homogeneous work throughout the territory and “I think I understood it”.
“Another thing is that I sincerely believe that this integration mission that I had was not entirely shared by the provincial leadership of the Huesca party,” he continued, adding: “The socialists of Huesca m ‘have always treated well, but the provincial leadership of the party the party Since the year 17 he understood that I should not be general secretary of the party and, therefore, president of the Government of Aragon and that the dialectic was maintained “, he concluded.
