The spokesperson for the socialist group, Luis Tudanca, probably thought that an information “bomb” would serve to divert attention from him and his future at the head of the PSCL and focus it on “food”, a an expression he himself used. last week to discuss the economic and social activity of the Community. Thus, facing the President of the Council, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, during the plenary session of the Cortes, during which he questioned the situation of the affairs of the Community, he had an impact on the ensure that Renault had transferred its head office from Valladolid to Madrid. This measure would have resulted in an annual loss of 282 million in revenue for the Autonomous Administration, according to the socialist leader.
This statement surprised the head of the Executive himself, who limited himself to emphasizing that “Renault is where it always is and that the car manufacturer’s factories continue in Valladolid and Villamuriel de Cerrato”. But where the comments of the socialist spokesperson caused even more surprise, it was within the company itself, which clarified that what moved to Madrid is Recsa (Renault España Comercial), a commercial subsidiary with 300 employees which operates in the Spanish capital. This is the small “anecdotal change” that has occurred, company sources told ABC. They also clarified that “Renault’s head office and commercial headquarters with its 8,000 employees remains in Castile and León and will continue to do so.”
The new denial was framed in the economic radiography of the Community that Tudanca did in which he warned that there were 118 percent more bankruptcy procedures, that 10,000 self-employed workers have disappeared since Mañueco was president, that there are 329 fewer companies and 35 million less tax revenue. But above all, he denounced that “the one who steals our talents and our young people is Madrid with its tax ‘dumping'”.
Nothing to do with the perception of the president, for whom GDP growth is higher than the Spanish average, he occupies the first positions in terms of exports, unemployment has been falling for 41 consecutive months in the interannual index and 42 of growth of social affiliations. security. “Castilla y León works,” he concluded.
Another of the topics discussed at the plenary session this Tuesday was the agreement reached last week for Burgos and León to have a Faculty of Medicine, in exchange for the establishment of a Pharmacy in Valladolid and a Veterinary Medicine in Salamanca. The lawyer of By Ávila, Pedro Pascualhe asked the President of the Council Would you like to support “affirmative action for peripheral university campuses”? defended by councilor Rocío Lucas, so that the veterinary diploma can be taught in the center of Ávila.
He did not get a response, since Mañueco relied on “absolute respect” for university autonomy. Pascual insisted on Ávila’s “extensive experience” in higher education and that the arrival of these new teachings would be a great “repellent”, which is why he demanded “balance and opportunities for all territories”.
