Two “Main pawns” of the environment of the president of Castile-La Mancha and regional secretary of the socialists, Emiliano García-Pagewill be responsible for defending the most important proposals that the Castilian-La Mancha delegation, made up of 80 delegates and around 200 people in total, will present at the 41st Federal Congress organized by the PSOE in Seville.
It is about Sergio Gutiérrezorganizing secretary and number two of the regional PSOE, and Juan Alfonso Ruiz MolinaMinister of Finance and Public Administration of the Government of Castile-La Mancha, as EL ESPAÑOL-EL DIGITAL CLM learned from socialist sources.
Both are politicians with the greatest trust and closeness to Page and will be responsible for defending the principles of territorial equality, tax harmonization and multilateral autonomous financing which will constitute the main axes of Castilla-La Mancha before the Socialist Congress.
In the first row
Gutiérrez and Ruiz Molina, two leaders with great political experience and a long historywill be part of the various commissions in which these central questions that Page wants to influence during this socialist summit will be addressed.
Ruiz Molina, in fact, makes his debut as a delegate to the Federal Congress of the PSOEbut he is an expert in regional financing and Page wants him to be at the forefront in defending a model in which the Catalan quota or bilateral or privileged financing do not fit for any autonomous community.
As reported by EL ESPAÑOL-EL DIGITAL CLM, the PSOE of Castilla-La Mancha wants to defend before the Federal Congress and before Pedro Sánchez the creation of A new autonomous financing model of “equality and justice” for all communities and to definitively bury the concert of Catalonia. Other communities, such as Galicia, Castilla y León, Madrid, Aragon and Extremadura, will also position themselves in the same direction.
Equality and multilaterality
Even if the official presentation makes no reference to Catalan quotanor the agreement signed with ERC to withdraw this autonomous community from the common financing regime, it includes the commitment to reform the regional financing system so that “all autonomous communities have more resources than currently”.
From this point of view, the PSOE Castilian-La Mancha will defend that all Spaniards pay the same “wherever they live” and receive the same public services in its system of “equality” and “multilaterality”that is to say, unlike the “bilateral” model proposed by Catalonia. It is also expected, in this sense, that criteria such as the number of inhabitants, geographical dispersion and the cost of rurality, among others, are taken into account when distributing funds and the quality of services.
“That is to say – these sources explain – our model is the opposite of the Catalan quota”. In this sense, the PSOE of Castile-La Mancha will also bring to the Federal Congress the need to reform the tax harmonization law “so that we all pay the same in Spain and receive the same public services.” “It is not a question of increasing taxes, as the PP demagogically says, but of being equal for all, regardless of where we live,” they explain from the regional PSOE.
Large delegation
As we noted, a a large delegation of around 200 people will represent the PSOE of Castilla-La Mancha in this Federal Congress. From this group, 80 are delegates or ex officio members and around 120 will be guests and observers.
The Castilla-La Mancha delegation, logically, will be led by the president Pageex officio member of the Federal Congress, with others of the same status such as Marisol Hernándezregional party president; Cristina MaestreDeputy Secretary General and Member of the European Parliament and José Luis Martinez Guijarrovice-president of the Board of Directors and member of the Federal Committee.
His own person also attends as an ex officio member.
