The President of Castile-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, will “today” ask the Spanish government and the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, to “urgently” convene a Conference of Presidents. “We have been in legislative power for a year now, both regional and general. Many questions seem urgent in Spanish politics and really what it seems to me It is more urgent to come togetherbut with extreme urgency, a Conference of Presidents,” he noted in an interview with Cope.
The leader of Castile-La Mancha confirmed that we are constantly talking about issues such as the migration crisis and the housing crisis, as well as the regional presidents They have “a lot to do with a lot of the issues that are being discussed.”
As he affirmed this Tuesday during the debate on the state of the region, Castile-La Mancha, Andalusia, Murcia and Valencia constitute the group of the four most underfunded regions of the country, and he announced that “we are going to demand a transition fund” and ask the Spanish government to launch a tax harmonization project. “We are not 17 markets nor 17 tax regimes,” he stressed, asking for the support of the different political parties “because It is the unity of Spain, avoiding competition between autonomous communities and avoid populism and fiscal demagoguery, by acting with common sense. If there is no progress on this goal, it will become a legislative initiative that will require debate in Congress.
At this point he argued that “If what the Catalan separatists said about regional financing had been said by the Community of Madridthe entire Spanish left and members of the government would have spoken out saying that this breaks the equality of Spain; Well, that’s what I say, whoever makes it and whoever publishes it. » Page proposed to the Spanish government that wherever businesses are going to pay less taxes, “tax inspectors should be increased threefold instead of targeting those left behind to pay their tax debt.”
This Wednesday Page signed with the mayor of Toledo, Carlos Velázquezthe agreement to build the City of cinema in the regional capital. In this context, and contrary to the good institutional relations that she maintains with this town hall, she criticized the lack of communication with the Spanish government in the face of the news which speaks of the “intention” of the government to allow a Immigrant reception center in the hangar of Ciudad Real airport. A project he regretted I was completely unaware in regional administration.
“We discover how they wanted to hide a decision like the creation of ‘a Meloni’ center in the middle of La Manche and if it is true that they have been exchanging draft contracts with the company for weeks behind the back of the Administration responsible for health, social services and so many things in the territory, we would be faced with the most blatant case of institutional disloyalty” President García-Page said. Likewise, he regretted the existence of meetings, in this regard, during which he “the Government Delegation in Castile-La Mancha participated and we knew nothing.
In order to find a solution to serious immigration problemPage also wants to bring this issue to the Conference of Presidents. “Migrants cannot be treated as goods and maritime border control must be addressed,” he said. “What causes me the most concern and uncertainty, from a humanitarian point of view, is what the next target is, what is the fate of the migration problem“Where does this problem end?” he concluded.
