The Minister of Economy, Finance and European Funds and spokesperson for the Andalusian Government, Caroline Spain (PP-A), criticized this Sunday the “drift” that, according to him, the PSOE of Andalusia“defend the quota of Catalan independence” – in reference to the “single financing” agreed by the CFP And Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) as part of its agreement to allow the inauguration of the socialist Salvador Illa as president of the Generalitat -, and asked the said formation to “not let itself be kidnapped” by the President of the Government, Pedro Sanchez.
These are statements that the Council spokesperson made in a speech to the media at Malagaby attending the solemn ceremony triduum in honor of the Divine Shepherdess of Soulsan opportunity of which he took advantage of to allude to current problems and criticize the way in which the Andalusian PSOE “permanently defends the independence quota to the detriment of Andalusia”.
He further regretted that the Andalusian socialists “are the only ones who do not recognize the underfinancing from which Andalusia suffers”, a community which “loses more than 1.5 billion euros each year” with the current system of regional financing, as the advisor was keen to denounce, who stressed that “for each Andalusian, we receive 183 euros less per year than the average, and 214 euros less than a Catalan citizen”.
“We are concerned that the Socialist Party of Andalusia is not doing the same thing as the other socialist parties in Spain, as is the case of the Socialists of Andalusia. Castile-La Mancha or Aragonwho are against this privileged financing” for Catalonia, underlined Carolina España.
Furthermore, the advisor criticized the fact that the Minister of Finance, Maria Jesus Monterowhich he recalled is Andalusian, and which he disfigured who “pressed the red button for the privileged financing of Catalonia, betraying Andalusia”, did not come out “to defend” this community when the ERC spokesperson in Congress, Gabriel Rufianfrom the platform “Andalusia has insulted”, according to Carolina España, who added that “what is even more serious” is that the PSOE-A, “faced with the insults” of the representative of Esquerra, “remained silent and no “He defended Andalusia.”
In this context, the Junta spokesperson urged the Andalusian PSOE to “return to defend Andalusia, not to let Pedro Sánchez take away, because defending Pedro Sánchez is incompatible with the defense of Andalusia”, as she declared.
Councils and political groups
Likewise, the Minister of Economy and Finance declared that from this Monday, the meetings announced by the Andalusian Government between “the different ministries with the representatives of the different political groups” in Parliament “will begin to take place” . chairman of the board of directors, Juanma Morenoreceived last Monday “to analyze the real problems affecting Andalusians”, and to whom he handed over “a decalogue” of measures on issues related to health, housing, employment, self-employment or Vocational trainingas detailed by the spokesperson for the Executive.
Carolina España defended that what the Andalusian government wants is “to resolve these problems with the hand extended to the different political parties, through consensus, through dialogue, always defending equality, because we understand that this is what what we need to do and that’s what “politics” is for.
However, he considered it “strange that the Socialist Party does not facilitate these meetings”, and the secretary general of the PSOE-A, Juan Espadas“requested a prior meeting from the government before each department can have its own meetings,” said Carolina España, who regretted “that these delays are occurring.”
After also criticizing the fact that the president of the government “definitely delayed” the call for Conference of Presidents that the majority of autonomous communities have demanded, including Andalusia, and that in their agenda “they do not want to include the regional financing system, although it is the main problem that Spain has on the table”, the advisor asked “What is The PSOE afraid of”, if it is “that they are afraid of negotiating, of reaching consensus, of reaching agreements”.
Likewise, he asked why the PSOE-A is “slowing down these meetings” with the ministries, if “it is afraid of agreeing on solutions for the Andalusians”.
Thus, the councilor-spokesperson concluded by calling on the Andalusian socialists to, “like the rest of their socialist colleagues, request the withdrawal of the privileged financing of the independence quota”, as well as to “recognize the the underfinancing from which Andalusia suffers“, because “they take the outstretched hand of the Andalusian government of Juanma Moreno to resolve, reach consensus, dialogue in defense of equality and resolve the real problems of citizens”; In short, “let them once for all to work for Andalusia”, concluded Carolina España in her message to the PSOE-A.
