The president of the Junta de Andalucía, the popular Juanma Moreno, and his counterpart in Castilla-La Mancha, the socialist Emiliano García-Page, protagonists at the start of the April Seville Fair. It happened before the 'Lighting', in an event held this Saturday in which the anniversary of the Castilian-La Mancha House was commemorated with an exhibition where the two regional leaders showed their complicity and where the Andalusian wanted to make it clear that "there is no political color nor should there ever be rivalry to vindicate our culture, folklore, our traditions and customs…”, as expressed on social networks.
In a video shared by Moreno on his Instagram account, a “nice moment” between him and Page is recorded, where the man from Malaga casually sings the Anthem of Andalusia and is followed, at least in the chorus, by the socialist. “We go further by valuing everything that unites us. Congratulations to the House of Castilla-La Mancha in
It was the president of the Andalusian Executive who wanted to alter the protocol during this official act, ceding the closing to the man from La Mancha and, jokingly, he commented that lately Page had been coming to the South a lot: “I don't know if he wants to be Andalusian of the year or take my position away.” , he said, demonstrating that there is cordiality between them above political differences. For his part, the socialist leader of Castilla-La Mancha insisted on the need for, at the national level, there to be "the same level of cordiality, understanding and, above all, respect" that he maintains with the Andalusian president, whom he has named example of relationship between communities.
Moreno valued the existence of the House of Castilla-La Mancha in Andalusia, which is celebrating 40 years "disseminating the singularities of the Castilian people of La Mancha in our land, accompanying them with Andalusian traditions, generating enrichment for the country." Furthermore, he highlighted that Andalusia and Castilla-La Mancha are "sister communities, two Spanish lands that feel clearly linked, part of a whole and with common objectives."
During his speech, the leader of San Telmo gave importance to all the Andalusian houses spread around the world, "daily and permanent ambassadors of our land outside of it, who keep alive the flame of the spirit of unity between Spaniards, making the country great." , and insisted on the importance of "always invoking the principle of equality among Spaniards, wherever they live." "All Spaniards deserve to enjoy the best possible public services and enjoy opportunities for progress and well-being," he added.
The Andalusian emphasized that "in a time when everything is standardized and tends to be the same, we must claim and defend more than ever what makes us unique and distinguishes us", emphasizing the importance of institutions such as the Casa de Castilla -La Mancha that fulfill the function of disseminating the legacy, traditions and folklore.
Emiliano García-Page insisted on this same idea, who commented that the objective of the autonomies is "to try to cooperate and grow together" and not "to break us into 17." His intention, he commented, is not "to be better Castilian-Manchegans at the expense of being worse Spaniards or worse neighbors of Andalusia, of Extremadura", but to find and promote an understanding.
An understanding that was not only evident by the words and speeches that were exchanged but also by the gestures and jokes that were thrown. Page wanted to point out that "both Andalusia and Castilla-La Mancha" represent "exactly what this country wanted in 78, with the Constitution." "That we do not invent history, that we do not confuse ourselves and that we do not use autonomy to be less or to break ourselves, but to try to cooperate and grow together," she has delved.
