EA under 14 years of age has unleashed a war from the autonomous government directed by the popular Juan Manuel Moreno with Minister Óscar Puente. It is a measure that would be launched as of July 1, without alluding at any time that it was paid in its entirety by the State and that omission is the one that has led the Executive not to authorize the funds, for understanding that Royal Decree 1/2025 is breached that requires that in any communication or dissemination activity of initiatives suffered by the central government, it is expressly cited. For the Board, however, the rejection is “the nth grievance of a Minister of Pedro Sánchez” to Andalusia, as the regional spokesman, Carolina España, said Wednesday.
Spain has uploaded the tone, already hard, that one day before the Minister of Development itself used after receiving the letter from the Ministry of Transportation in which the requested aid was denied, with which he announced “all kinds of actions, including penalties against the minister”. “We are not going to allow chulerías by Minister Óscar Puente. He will find the response and forcefulness of the nine million Andalusians and the entire legal cabinet of the Board,” said the Andalusian spokeswoman, who, however, has not specified what legal measures the Moreno government could begin.
In any case, it has advanced that the Board will not assume the free transportation to those under 14 years of The extension of the General Budgets-“200 million less for dependency”-.
The Board has not yet calculated the economic impact of this measure that affects 1.2 million Andalusians under 14 who would be likely to request that bonus of 100% of the free metropolitan transport, said the spokesman.
Rectification option
The fund of this controversy is limited to both the statements that the Minister of Development made on Monday in Granada, as well as the literalness of the subsequent press release. “The metropolitan transport will be free for the Andalusians up to 14 years as of July 1 with the use of the young transport card of the Junta de Andalucía. The Minister of, has announced this measure, as well as the continuity of the additional bonuses in Andalusia for the whole of public transport users”, indicates in the statement of the website of the Ministry, very similar to the announcement that Diaz made: ” Metropolitan transport will be free with the use of the young card and we will also continue to apply the additional bonuses that will be 40%, as you know, 20% are in charge of the government and the other 20% is in charge of the Junta de Andalucía ”.
Although from the Board it is insisted that the counselor referred to the Ministry, the fact is that it only did it for additional bonuses and not for the free transportation to those minors, a measure included in a package of aid it announced. For transport that omission implies the breach of articles 14 and 16 of the Royal Decree Law 1/2025 that require that “all communication and dissemination activities on the implementation of discounts must expressly include that they receive financing from the Ministry of Transportation, and will include the specific logo”. “It is a flagrant breach of the law,” warns sources from that department.
The Government Delegate, Pedro Fernández, has urged the Board this morning to seek “that way of contact and reconduction, not threat” and has suggested that the path of the Community of Madrid continue, which also appropriated the measure of free transportation to those under 14 years at the end of March and that, after being warned via X by bridge -as it has also passed with the Andalusian government- letter, informa Javier Arroyo. However, it does not seem that this is going to be the path for which Moreno’s executive will opt. “The counselor has the right to explain freedom of expression, this is a child reaction and the fruit of the vanity and pride of a minister who tries to aggravate Andalusia once again,” Spain insisted. However, the sources of transport consulted are complicated that a rectification can take effect and remember that in the case of Madrid, the aid and statements had not yet been requested were not collected in an official statement.
But the object of criticism has not only focused on bridge. As usual since the first vice president of the Government, María Jesús Montero, assumed the General Secretariat of the Andalusian PSOE, from the Board we wanted to imply in this decision the socialist leader. “We demand that the vice president stopped the feet to Minister Puente to stop trampling the rights of young Andalusians. Is it going to be Minister Montero complicit of the grievances of Bridge?” Spain said, which has also appealed to the territorial comparison: “Would you do the same to the Government of Catalonia or that of the Basque Country? With the dignity of the Andalusians.”
