The president of the Junta de Castilla y Leon, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, will participate in the bilateral meeting scheduled for Wednesday by the president of the government, Pedro Sánchez, with each of the main regional leaders, but he will do so for to talk “strictly about our own problems” related to the Communitysuch as the timetable of “some specific infrastructures” or the “progress” in the Atlantic Corridor. This was reported on Thursday by the spokesman of the regional government, Carlos Fernández Carriedo, after the head of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayusowill veto the meeting proposed by Sánchez. Without joining the boycott, Carriedo wanted to clarify that this “institutional” meeting cannot “serve as an excuse” for not holding the Conference of Presidents, in which they will debate “multilaterally” the issues “that affect us all.”
In this regard, and after the leader of the Central Executive stressed that An event that brings together all the autonomies will take place in SantanderThe Minister of Economy and Finance also indicated that “we hope that this will happen” because “it must be done” and it is in this framework that, as he stated, issues such as regional financing, health and immigration, which are “essential” at the moment and in which, he insisted, “we must all be involved”.
Carriedo also questioned several “self-aggrandizing” announcements made by Sánchez during an intervention “surrounded by ministers” in which “it seemed that he was going to announce the beginning of Holy Week.” In this way, he focused on the Sanchez’s promise to provide more resources to all autonomous communities At a time when it comes to the “separatist quota” agreed with Catalonia so “that it can remain in power”. Thus, Carriedo has minimised this commitment by considering that “the only guarantee he has given us” is that “we will have more resources than in 2018”, which, as he said, would be comparable to the announcement by the Council that the Ministries of Education, Family or Health will have more budget than six years ago. For the spokesman councillor, “this – what Sánchez said – is called the high cost of living and inflation” while what “counts” is “the difference in treatment granted to the separatists, “who mark the action of the government” and “what they commit to do”. one from the other are very different.” According to him, this is an “absolute inequality”, because while “ensuring one community one hundred percent of taxes, which is what the separatist parties have asked for, it gives the rest of the communities practically what is left”. Thus, after having once again criticized “the media hype” surrounding the event in which the president participated, he recalled that the secessionists’ plan he understood the amnesty, “which has already been accomplished”; the fiscal pact, “which exists and still needs to be known”, and the self-determination referendum, “let’s see what their opinion is at that time”.
Tudanca, “with music”
A different point of view on the same subject was expressed in the Cortes de Castilla y León by the spokesperson for the Socialist Group and leader of the PSCL, Luis Tudanca. After asking the President of the Council to “ignore Ayuso” and meet with Sánchez and stressing that he would do so with Fernández Mañueco “out of institutional respect”, he said that “the music” of financing “”It sounds much better”, according to his leader. “The reform must benefit all territories and include their particularities in the common regime so that all have more resources to provide public services”, he maintained.
