Former Secretary General of the Socialists of Extremadura Juan Carlos Rodriguez Ibarra applauded that the current leader of the PSOE of Extremadura, Miguel Angel Gallardoopposes the Catalan quota and considered maintaining this rejection as an obligation for him as a socialist and a native of Extremadura.
“If Ferraz doesn’t like it – he told him – tough luck“. Rodríguez Ibarra participated in an event in Miajadas (Cáceres), which was attended by Gallardo and Guillermo Fernández Vara, the three general secretaries of the PSOE of Extremadura. Ibarra wondered “who is ferraz“, and it was answered that “Ferraz has the leadership of the party and has many powers, but he does not have one, which is to be able to dismiss and replace whoever he wants at any time, ignoring the will of the citizens.” that we have decided who should govern us.
The former president of the Regional Government of Extremadura for 24 years acknowledged that those who drafted the Constitution “accepting the Basque and Navarrese quota” made a mistake in allowing “the two historical rights of these two communities to prevail over the citizen rights of a Constitution” “of the 20th century”, which was considered “nonsense”.
“Let’s not go to continue with this nonsense by allowing other regions to keep a quota and I am not saying, as a government minister says, that this can be extended to all regions,” he added. Rodríguez Ibarra clarified that if the Catalan quota were established, Catalonia would gain 30 billion and if the quota were for Extremadura, “we would lose 2 billion”, while “we would gain 8 billion by doubling the Interterritorial Cooperation Fund”.
“I have a feeling that we will end up doing a confederation of the rich and a federation of the poorand this is not a system that socialists should defend because we never bet on it” he said.
