Juanma Moreno: “We will fight with the complicity of the Andalusians the greatest betrayal of Spain and Andalusia”

The Catalan quota and the underfinancing from which Andalusia continues to suffer from the government chaired by Pedro Sánchez focused a large part of the control session held this Thursday in the Andalusian Parliament, during which the President of the Council, Juanma Moreno, defended equality and solidarity between territories: “We are supporters of equity, solidarity and equality and we will defend them tooth and nail”. Moreno accused the left of favoring “already privileged territories and harming emerging territories like Andalusia, where we are loyal.” . We will show our faces with the complicity of Andalusian society to fight the greatest betrayal that is being perpetrated against all of Spain and the Andalusians. » This is what he defended after VOX criticized him for the fact that the purchasing power of Andalusians fell by 10% last year and that Andalusia continues to have the highest income levels. bottom of the country. The President of the Council responded that to improve these data, Andalusia needs more resources “because we are as Spanish as we are. the rest of the Spaniards. Every time Sánchez has to win one more night at La Moncloa, state structures suffer, solidarity breaks down and the principles of equality tremble. The independence quota is pure selfishness. It is difficult to have the income levels of other communities with 1.5 billion euros less each year. The other issue which focused the debate and the exchange of accusations and reproaches between the government and the opposition during this control session is that of the government’s emergency contracts. SAS, after a court in Seville agreed to process the complaint filed by the PSOE-A for “alleged embezzlement and prevarication” in the award of around 300 million euros through health emergency contracts carried out by the exceptional procedure approved for the Covid-19 pandemic and which, according to the socialists, the SAS continued to use until 2023, “two years after its legal repeal”. The most heated crossover was the one featuring Moreno con Espadas. The Andalusian president assured that there are minor contracts and he accused it of being false “when he declared that the Commission had given 450 million in fraud to the law.” This is not true” and then ask him if he is going to denounce that in 2018, when the Junta government was in the hands of the PSOE, with Susana Díaz at its head, the eight provincial centers of the SAS “granted 791 millions in minor contracts and there was no pandemic. Are you going to denounce Ms. Díaz, Mr. Espadas? This should be done for consistency. Espadas responded that not all minor contracts are legal and that the PSOE has been forced to resort to justice due to the “lack of transparency of the Andalusian government” since the PP rejected the commission of inquiry it had requested. asked about this.Espadas, in Moreno’s sightsThe president of the Commission then personalized Juan Espadas, first when he was housing advisor to the Commission and then as mayor of Seville: “In 2009, when you were Minister of Housing in 2009, 96% of all contracts in your department were minor. Why not bid? When I was mayor of Seville, nine out of ten contracts were minor, by choice, and it’s not me who says this, but the Court of Auditors. “You increased emergency contracts as mayor by 4,000% and there was no pandemic or emergency.”
