The secretary general of the PSOE in Aragon, Javier Lambáncontinues to serve as a heterodox leader in a party held captive by Pedro Sánchez, where freedom of expression comes at a high price. In the case of Lambán, since 2017 he has suffered the rebellion of the PSOE of Huesca to put an end to Sánchez, whom he wants to replace with Pilar Alegría. However, the Aragonese tries, every time he is asked in front of the media, to express your opinion.
This is what he did this Tuesday in Huesca, during the presentation of his memoirs, A political emotion: Memoirs of a service in Aragon and Spain, asked about the situation that the Spanish government is going through, believing that Sánchez should dissolve parliament and call new elections.
Lambán if he were Pedro Sánchez
Lambán responded that if he were Pedro Sánchez, “he would dissolve Parliament and call elections”, given the situation of “lack of support continuous parliamentary” and “continuous extensions of the Budget. While clarifying that “I’m talking about myself, there are many ways to interpret politics and others may be more or less respectable.”
The baron, still a socialist, estimated that “faced with a Parliament confronted with this disparity of partners, so different from each other, some of them radically opposed to the Spanish Constitution“, it was entering a garden that was difficult to exit: we will have to wait for the president’s explanations.”
“I always warned that forming a government with the parliamentary majority with which Sánchez formed the government was an extremely complicated task,” he reflected, taking into account that in the Congress of Deputies “there is a conservative majority“.
Corruption of the PSOE, discredit of Sumar
The corruption surrounding the PSOE places the party in an increasingly unsustainable situation and this directly affects the leadership of Pedro Sánchez, considered “number 1” by Víctor de Aldama, a key figure in the alleged corruption plot in which justice is involved. in the context of the so-called Koldo affair, the advisor to former minister José Luis Ábalos, who is also under investigation.
Lambán made it clear that “theto corruption “It is one of the deadliest cancers of democracy, surely what distances citizens the most from democracy, from institutions, and in Spain we have been suffering from it since the 90s.”
“All parties have committed corruption crimes, or rather activists of all parties, and I am very sorry for every case that occurs, regardless of party, but I feel so much more when it affects my party,” he said.
“I can assume that my government has spent eight years full of transparency, cleanliness, without any stain or shadow in its work, and what I hope is that everyone these dark clouds what is currently being done with regard to us and with regard to Spain, be clarified as quickly as possible,” he stressed.
Regarding the scandal of Íñigo Errejón’s alleged sexual assault on the actress Elisa Mouliaa and the concealment by Sumar and his leader, Yolanda Diazthe Spanish government’s own coalition is failing.
Lambán considered that “what happened in Sumar is particularly paradoxical because this man seriously broke the rules that were the banner of his party, which makes him, if possible, a a more serious crime and the sooner this matter is settled, the better.
Budgets of the State, Aragon and Azcón
In addition, an extension of the general state budgets would put regional and local administrations under control again, since they will not be updated from 2023. Furthermore, the President of Aragon, Jorge Azconmade a political decision following the perception 87 million euros less of the compensation fund, for being a community affected by depopulation, despite the fact that Aragon experienced above-average growth, reaching 2.7%.
So much so that Azcón demanded from Pedro Sánchez the creation of a temporary leveling fund to compensate for the underfunding of certain regions. A measure that should be considered in future budgets. He popular He made this decision in the face of the difficulties he says he is experiencing in balancing regional budgets, without being “clear” about the amount of money he will ultimately receive.
