Carlos Mazón calls for political dialogue without “privileges, bullshit or blackmail”

The Valencian president Carlos Mazon asked this Wednesday “return to the coordinates where the democratic conversation best takes place” in Spain and defended “serenity and dialogue” so that “what belongs to each person is discussed among all”.

“In the management of Spanish wealth and its equitable distribution, there is no room for privileges, bullshit or blackmail,” he defended.

This is how the PP baron spoke in his speech to the institutional act of October 9day of the Valencian Community, the second that he occupied at the head of the Consell, the first without Vox in the Generalitat Valenciana, and in which he alternated between Valencian and Castilian.

The head of the Consell affirmed that the Valencian Community is “a historic nationality, at the same level as the others recognized by our Constitution“.

“We are not a second-class regionthat he must pay homage to one or the other or that he must ask permission, or an apology, to develop the powers appropriate to him by law,” he explained.

Mazón highlighted the “unequivocal commitment” of the Generalitat with “the common project“of “a balanced and balanced Spain”.

He further demanded that the urgent updating of the regional financing system, the promotion of infrastructure or the redistribution of water resources be treated as “state issues”, demands that “must transcend any partisan approach”.

“Because, as he writes Juan Luis Vivesour most universal philosopher and humanist who suffered directly from fanaticism and intolerance, “those who govern must have the particular concern to ensure and do everything possible so that some serve as help to others, that no one is oppressed”. , no one is insulted, “No one receives unfair prejudice and whoever is weaker must be helped by whoever is more powerful,” Mazón said to defend the role of Valencian institutions.

“That is why, Our self-government is not only a question of identity, but also a useful and practical one. which serves above all to move forward,” he added in his speech.

Mazón asked to “bury old conflicts forever” and called to “look to a future that does not wait because it is based on a reality that does not wait either.”

In this regard, he mentions artificial intelligence, biomedicine, new job niches linked to the “digital revolution” or even the “historic opportunity” of a new mobility which “can change everything”.

Thus, exhorted to be able to draw “a horizon of opportunities“without “complexes” or “more uncertainties”, at a time faced with “many unprecedented challenges” on a social and economic level, as well as “geopolitical and commercial tensions of global impact”.

For this reason, he continued, Valencian autonomy “It’s not a dead letter”, but “a living and guaranteed reality of freedoms, rights, laws and duties”.

With this in mind, he chose to move towards social services which “protect the most vulnerable”, a housing policy which “does not close the way” particularly to young people or an education where “quality and freedom prevail over dogma”.

He also defended a health system in which “excellence is at the service of people”, an agriculture which has “own and unique voice from Valencia to Strasbourg» and a tax policy that is “fair and autonomous, not subject to blackmail”.

Carlos Mazón estimated that “no one makes the Valencian people lower their heads. We look towards this horizon of all”.

As a balance, he praised the “path” that Josep Lluís Albinyana began four decades ago with the recovery of autonomous institutions and which “led us here: to the collective work of a people who overcame the challenges of history.” “.

“We celebrate this, rising and standing, while the anthem sings the Professor José Serranoour gaze is turned forward. Always forward. Get up and move forward. In a celebration of joy, respect for our symbols, our history, our traditions, our self-government and the institutions that emanate from it. Joy and respect manifested today in the streets“, said.

The Valencian president recalled in his institutional speech that just a year ago his first words during this event were to accompany the pain of the families of those injured and killed during the terrorist attacks in Israel and “condemn the unreason of all fanaticism“.

“We are all aware of the consequences of this action and the extent to which its consequences were projected, right up to this very moment when the terror of war and the deaths of thousands of innocent people continue to shock us,” he said. he pointed out.
