“The effort and the risk are for the Catalans. Instead, the profits must be distributed among all Spaniards. “Catalans must work, pay and keep quiet.” This is how the secretary general of Junts, Jordi Turull, reacted on social networks to the words of the president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, with whom once again rejected single funding for Catalonia.
In his speech after this Friday’s meeting with the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, García-Page spoke in the usual terms: “The wealth of Castile-La Mancha does not belong to the people of Castile-La Mancha. The wealth of Catalonia does not belong to the Catalans. It belongs to everyone“. These statements earned him criticism from Turull, who described his position as “pathetic”.
“Here you can hear a shitty version but very specific about Spain which has Catalonia as a colony that can be plundered unlimited,” he wrote on his X account (formerly Twitter).
The response from the García-Page government was not long in coming. The first vice president, José Luis Martínez Guijarro, responded to Junts’ criticism: “It has become very clear that the separatists, that the people of Junts in this specific case, they are against equality among all Spaniards.
For Guijarro, the censorship of Junts is a demonstration that “they want to be more than others”“We are not going to allow it because there are many people in this country who have worked for many years to guarantee equality,” warned the vice-president of Castile-La Mancha, reported by the Europa Press news agency.
The organizing secretary of the PSOE of Castile-La Mancha also responded to Turull with What I can assure you is that we are not a xenophobic Spain like this modern version of the exclusive bourgeoisie“.
