The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, is surprised by “the humiliation to which the Socialist Party is subjecting President García-Page”, after a conversation he had in Fitur with three presidents of the PP, those of Andalusia, was recorded yesterday. , Juanma Moreno, from the Valencian Community, Carlos Mazón and from Murcia, Fernando López Miras, those who are most harmed by the current financing system.
“It is very surprising what is happening within the PSOE,” said the president of the PP in statements to the media after attending an informative breakfast with the president of La Rioja, Gonzalo Capellám, also present at part of the Fitur conversation. organized by Europa Press. Surprising, said Feijóo, because “the Socialist Party considers it reasonable to be a little terrorist, but it seems very wrong to criticize Sánchez a little.” That is why he finds “the humiliation of the PSOE towards President García-Page” surprising. The regional presidents should not be humiliated, Feijóo stressed, "and even less the president who has won, for the PSOE, elections by majority."
Alberto Núñez considers that the PSOE cannot hide by focusing on the words of the president of Castilla-La Mancha, which is something verifiable. “What is evident – he said – whether García-Page or whoever says it, is that the Socialist Party is on the outskirts of the Constitution, and this is not a criticism, it is a chronicle.”
The president of the PP, however, wanted to put a cap on the Castilian-La Mancha president, and assured that there is no pre-agreement or agreement between García-Page and other presidents of the PP, but rather verifiable facts, which are that some autonomous communities, According to data from the Ministry of Finance itself and according to reports from institutions that study regional financing, they are significantly below the average financing, and have been like this for years "and it seems reasonable to me that the presidents should confirm this."
The place to reach an agreement, the president of the PP stressed, is the Fiscal and Financial Policy Council, "but the Government refuses to convene it" and refuses, he said, "to listen to regional presidents", not calling the Conference of presidents nor the Fiscal and Financial Policy Council, so, he said, “unfortunately they will have to talk where they can, because the Government refuses to talk to them.”
The president of La Rioja is one of those who was part of the conversation with Page, and yet, despite being from the PP, he does not share the reports on the most underfinanced communities, because he considers that many elements that do not have to be analyzed must be analyzed. are taken into account, such as investments, for example in the AVE, which is also something to consider. In any case, he rejected the idea that Fitur was “a conspiracy”, and stressed that he himself had been having a coffee in Fitur moments before that meeting with García-Page himself and with the Asturian president, Adrián Barbón.
Gonzalo Capellán considers that the conversation, which he said he attended “as a listener” is logical “between presidents who are talking about issues that concern the autonomous communities,” but he believes that financing should be discussed in the Fiscal Policy Council and Financiera, “and not in the corridors of Fitur.” When the Council meets, he, like all other presidents will do with their communities, “will defend the interests of La Rioja.”
