The Secretary General of the PSOE Aragon, Javier Lambanremains firm in the fight against the Sanchistas of Huesca for the financing of Catalonia. The single financing of Catalonia has opened Pandora’s box in the regional federations of the PSOE, especially in the case of the most diasporic barons, such as Javier Lambán, with the drift of Ferraz.
In this sense, while in Aragon there is an atmosphere of political will for unity among all political parties, led by the regional president Jorge Azconwithin the Socialist Party of Aragon itself, insists from the most Sanchist wing of Huesca to suppress Javier Lamban of his leadership in order not to face Sánchez with the Catalan quota.
“Unfortunately, the problem of the Huesca socialists has nothing to do with financing or interest in the community. The Huesca teammates have 7 years trying to finish me offas secretary general. In 2017, with the support of Ferraz, they tried to appoint me secretary general, and at the moment they are motivated exclusively by organic functions of the imminence of another congress,” said Javier Lambán on Tuesday, after Monday the provincial secretary of Huesca, Fernando Sabés, insisted once again that Lambán advance the elections to choose a “consensual” profile.
“Sacrifice Spain for Illa”
A matter that the provincial secretary of the PSOE and president of the Provincial Council, Juan Antonio Sanchez Querocrossed out “absurdity“, given the dates we are in and in the middle of selecting candidates to replace him. “All my support for Javier Lambán,” he stressed to the media, who could be one of the candidates to succeed him. Quero defended “focusing on calling the congress” in order to present “what model we want for Spain.”
In this regard, Lambán had stated a few hours earlier on Cadena Ser that he hoped that the PSOE congress would serve “to correct drifts that seem frankly worrying to me, among others, the financing and the territorial model. “It is not possible that for Illa to be president of the Generalitat of Catalonia, the rest of the communities have to sacrifice themselves.”
“We see that the more successful the PSOE is electorally in Catalonia, everyone is getting worse“These are not opinions, but observations. In the legislative, regional and European elections, we see Spain becoming red in Catalonia and increasingly blue in the rest of the territory,” he added.
Huesca and the Catalan quota
To understand the forced attempts to exclude Lambán from the political arena as Secretary General of Aragon, it must be remembered that the Socialists of Huesca represent the wing closest to Pedro Sánchez. So much so that in the last regional executive held at the end of August, it was voted by an absolute majority to maintain a position of rejection of the privileged financing of Catalonia, even if those of Huesca They did not attend the vote.

“I don’t understand how an Aragonese can defend the Catalan quota “which would be fatal for the community, if it were approved,” Javier Lambán stressed. “It means breaking the unity of the PSOE and that is not highly recommended so that the party can exercise a strong opposition and so that the party can make strong proposals for Aragon,” he added.
Sánchez Quero, stronghold of Aragon
In this controversy, it is also necessary to highlight the important role played by the socialist Juan Antonio Sánchez Quero at the head of the Provincial Council of Zaragoza, the only strong bastion of the PSOE in Aragon, and whose institution has led the rest of the community, presenting to the socialists with Chunta a movement against the said financing to Catalonia, which came out on top with the majoritywhere all parties supported him except Vox, which abstained.
That is why, when asked about the controversy surrounding the PSOE’s friction in Aragon, Sánchez Quero affirmed that his institution had taken a step forward on July 11, “despite the fact that it had no media impact”, clearly showing its willingness to reach an agreement with the rest of the parties to defend “the common interest of Aragon“.
This is why both the PSOE, PP and PAR They have withdrawn from the municipalities, town halls and the Cortes of Aragon the motions against the privileged financing of Catalonia, in order to “reach an agreement”, the socialist stressed. “It is more serious than what could result from a press release”, he added, considering that what he aspires to is “to present a document to the Spanish government”.
