The President of the Valencian Government, Carlos Mazondenounced this Tuesday that the centers for migrant minors have exceeded their capacity. He said that they are 150 or 160% and that the miners are “overcrowded”.
“The most collapsed communities are almost in a kind of trap where if we overpopulate the miners here, they accuse us of being inhumane even though we don’t have resources, but if we say we are collapsed and we need more resources, we are also inhumane,” he explained.
In this sense, the also leader of the PP of the Valencian Community dishonored the government and the PSOE by accusing the leaders of the PP of not supporting them.
In an interview with Antenna 3 collected by Europe Press, He criticized the fact that some ministers accuse them of being “inhumane” while “those who do not provide resources or who do not establish long-term policies or, at least, medium-term policies will be.” “We do not have to pass a solidarity test,” Mazón said.
In this regard, he considered that immigration policies are “a very complicated issue” and “everyone’s problem.” Therefore, He claimed a “height of vision”without “politics or demagogy.” “Either we raise the level, or we will have many problems, including social ones,” he said.
“I am sorry to de-ideologise all this, but we support it and we have centres with mattresses and bunk beds and we need doctors and social workers,” said the Valencian president. On the other hand, regarding the possibility of an agreement between the PSOE and the PP to face the migration crisis, he insisted on the need for “concretion, common sense and management capacity”.
In the case of the Valencian Community, Mazón stressed that migrants arrive either by boat or through “government deliveries.” He criticized the fact that “age is not verified at the origin” and that “minors hidden in these shipments” arrive. “When we discover that they are minors, we must logically fulfill our obligation (to welcome them),” he said.
Unique funding for Catalonia
Mazón also spoke during this interview about another of the main current issues: the single financing for Catalonia that the Central Executive promised to ERC in exchange for the investiture of Salvador Illa.
The president of the Generalitat Valenciana advocated “building a wall against the lack of solidarity, inequalities and privileges” that, according to him, the agreement between the PSC and the ERC represents.
In this sense, he defended a financing reform that is “fair”. In the case of the Valencian Community or Murciawho receives the least from the system, insisted on demanding a leveling fund to bring itself into line with the others.
The Valencian Community is the second autonomous region that received the least funding in 2022, behind Murcia, according to a report by the Foundation for Applied Economic Studies (Fedea) on the liquidation of the regional financing system corresponding to 2022.
The note prepared by the expert Ángel de la Fuente appears in 3,089 euros of effective financing per ValencianThis translates to 276 euros less than the national average (3,365) and 865 euros less than those who receive the most (La Rioja with 3,954 euros per inhabitant).
“We need a leveling to be equal to others, not a singularity to separate us from others or break what belongs to others,” Mazón said, with the aim of beginning to negotiate the new system “on an equal footing.”
From there, he stressed that in the PP there is unity to the extent that all the autonomies start from the same level of financing. “Another thing is that when the small print arrives, we talk about the uniqueness of each territory,” added the head of the Consell.
