The mayor of Gijón, Carmen Moriyón (Forum), announced this Wednesday the breaking of the pact with Vox, shortly after 100 days of the tripartite government, not only for not having been able to exercise the responsibilities given to them by the citizens, according to her, but because, in his opinion, "he has put his initials before the general interest."
"While I am mayor, this Government is not going to allow any interference from Madrid or anywhere," the Gijón councilor stressed. This was indicated at a press conference at the Gijón City Council, hours after the regional deputy and Councilor for Celebrations, Sara Álvarez Rouco (Vox), announced that they were considering making changes to the Gijón International Film Festival (FICX). , to open it to more audiences, in line with his party's line and away from "biases and partisanship." Rouco herself, when asked if she had discussed it before with her government partners, limited herself to commenting "we said something."
For the next edition of the festival, which will be held from November 15 to 25, Rouco had announced the presentation of a recently created award that would be given to a filmmaker who projects "what Vox wants." Rouco defended that Vox's approach is "coherent" with the dynamics of the tripartite government, but also with the ideas of the party it represents.
"It's over," Moriyón has published on the social network X (formerly Twitter), without giving further explanations about the meaning of these words.
It should be remembered that the tripartite Government is made up of Forum, PP and Vox. However, the pact was not signed in three parties, but rather Forum signed an agreement with the PP and another with Vox.
The director of the Festival, Alejandro Díaz Castaño, has shown his confidence that the Gijón event will not lose the essence of recent years. "I have complete confidence that Carmen Moriyón will defend the independent festival as she has always been during her years of government," he remarked. "We are waiting for news," said Díaz Castaño.
