The secretary general of the PRC, Miguel Angel Revillaannounced that the extraordinary congress to elect his replacement at the head of the formation will take place in 2025.Next year there will be a change“, declared the regionalist, who will leave politics at the end of this mandate.
Revilla hopes that this congress will choose the “best person” and that it will do so for “a a very broad consensus“. In this regard, he believes that within his party “an agreement can be found so that there is a person who has the support of all” and that there is no “candidate war “.
This is what the founder of the PRC declared this Sunday in an interview with RNE, collected by Europa Press, in which he confirmed that he would not run for re-election as head of the party. “When this term ends, it’s over“, he said in reference to his retirement from politics. “I have to leave it because biologically my cycle is ending,” he added.
Yes, he announced that he would maintain his commitment to Parliament and the PRC as “just another activist.” “I will be, of course, I will be in the party, I suppose, in the executive or wherever, but as a person, one more activist“, he declared when asked about the possibility of occupying a position for life in the regionalist formation.
“I don’t want to lead anything anymore; I don’t direct much either. It’s just that people voted for me… But I don’t want anymore…I’m not old enough for that,” he said, noting that he had already “recycled.” “I’ve never suffered from depression because of it. I’m going to another book. And now I’m touring Spain giving lectures,” he recalls.
Regarding the current political situation in Cantabria, the regionalist leader criticized the fact that the Executive of Maria José Saenz de Buruaga (PP) – which governs in a minority with regionalist support conditional on commitments – “was going to bring a revolution, was going to put the region in first place, and it’s been two years and the economy is growing less than half that of Spain.” on average, the airport is broken and health care is worse.” “We are talking about very sensitive things that are not going well,” he stressed.
In this regard, the former president of Cantabria, who said that his party is in the negotiation phase of the 2025 regional budgets, reiterated that his support for these budgets will depend on whether the Executive “complies with what we have signed” because, he said: “If they don’t do it, there will be no way out of this situation. We will not support them,” he said.
In this sense, he criticized the fact that the Executive “has not done even 20 percent of what was committed and that Cantabria is stopped in public works.” “They have money but they don’t have the capacity to manage it. I don’t think there’s a lot of imagination or power,” he added.
And when asked about the La Pasiega intermodal station, Revilla maintained that, if he remained president, “with certainty it was already underway” and referred to the fact that a large French company was interested in establishing itself in the Llano. .
He thinks there will be elections in 2025
On the other hand, Revilla predicted that next year there will be general elections because the government of Pedro Sánchez will not be able to approve the general state budgets for 2025, which will not exhaust the legislative power. “Three budgets in a row, it’s impossible” he said.
In addition, the regionalist pointed out that Sánchez “has embarked on an adventure with the worst people who can accompany you” in relation to the support currently available to the Central Executive.
“Man, you have to choose who accompanies you a little and from an ideological point of view it’s the biggest antagonism that can arise when choosing a trip; it’s radically the opposite of what is or was the Socialist Party… Read more or people less inclined. This can’t end well“, he concluded.
