This Monday, starting at eleven o’clock in the morning, the representatives of the different political parties of the Cortes of Castilla y León have an appointment with the President of the Council, Alfonso Fernandez Manuecoat the executive headquarters. This is his first move to seek dialogue after having started a path in which the PP does not have sufficient support in Parliament following the departure of Vox from the Autonomous Government and the breach of the pact that they maintained with the people. It is therefore time to open up to the rest for any legislative initiative that you wish to advance, including the community budgets for 2025 on which the regional government is already working.
The eight summoned arrive at the meeting with There is little expectation that this will translate into agreements.. Half an hour of margin between each parliamentary group, so that at 11:00 the lawyers of the Mixed Group are called: Pablo Fernández (Vamos), Francisco Igea and Pedro Pascual (Por Ávila), although the first two will not go. At 11:30 the representatives of the UPL-Soria ¡Ya!, Luis Mariano Santos and Ángel Ceña, will be present; at 12:00 the spokesperson of Vox, Juan García-Gallardo; at 12:30 the one of the Socialist Group, Luis Tudanca, and the round is closed by that of the Popular Group, Ricardo Gavilanes.
Thirty minutes during which Mañueco wants to convince of the “policy of the outstretched hand” with all political parties. You will not have a “closed scenario” waiting for your interlocutors to make their contributions.
However, you won’t find much receptivity on the other side. With Luis Tudança the relationship has been going on for a long time they are not living their best moment and he has been repeating for days that the socialists will be on the side of the PP “to defend the interests of Castilla y León, but not to follow the strategies of Genoa and make Feijóo and Abascal presidents.”
The past brought them together, so in Vox goes with the intention of listeningbut also with very defined red lines that they do not want to erase. Immigration policies or the Concord Law are some of the tributes that Mañueco will have to pay if he wants to have their support and they have already shown that if they are able to abandon a government, they will have no problem in the absence of budgets.
Representatives of By Ávila, UPL and Soria Now! They agree that their attitude is “listening”although they are not sure that they can achieve results based on their past experiences. They insist. In addition, Mañueco knows their demands and knows that his support has a price in terms of investments for his province.
AND there will be absences. Pablo Fernández He rejected from the first minute that the President of the Council intended to speak while year after year he rejected all his amendments to the budgets. Francisco Igéa He will also not attend the meeting after seeing once again how the people continue to ignore him and not respond to his interventions in the chamber.
