The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has summoned his Aragonese counterpart, Jorge Azcón, to the Moncloa Palace on Friday, October 11, the eve of the Day of the Pillar, from 12:30 p.m. This will be the first time that the two leaders will meet at an official meeting, as part of the series of contacts that the leader of the Central Executive maintains with the various regional leaders.
The same day, Sánchez will also meet with the presidents of the Canary Islands and Navarre, and will soon meet with the rest of the regional leaders.The day will begin at 10:00 a.m. with the Canarian Fernando Clavijo, will continue at 12:30 p.m. with Jorge Azcón and will continue at 4:00 p.m. with the Navarrese socialist María Chivite.
In his political start-of-year speech earlier this month, Sánchez announced his intention to meet with all regional presidents with several hot topics on the table, such as community financing.. The first to go to Moncloa were the representatives of the Basque Country, Imanol Pradales; of the County of Galicia, Alfonso Rueda; and from the Government of Andalusia, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla.
However, two days later, the PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, gathered all his barons in Madrid, where agreed that they would not enter into bilateral negotiations between the communities. Thus, they will demand a proposal for autonomous financing agreed between the communities, without “privileges” for any region.
In this sense, Azcón himself has already taken a step and has started negotiations with all the parties represented in the Cortes to seek a common agreement on the financing that the Community should receive.”I would love it if in Aragon we could agree with the PSOE, CHA, Teruel Existen, Vox and the rest of the political parties on the principles and criteria that defend a principle of fair financing for our territory.“, the Aragonese president alluded after the meeting with Feijóo.
