The territories of the PP organize their ranks before the Conference of Presidents on June 6 convened by the Government in Barcelona, six months after the last one held in Santander. The preparatory meeting of the summit on Wednesday afternoon, which was expected to configure the agenda, no agreement has been reached.
The meeting, held at the Ministry of Territorial Policy in Madrid, before the regional conclave. The vote has remained 13 to 7 in favor of the popular. “A conference without debate, without proposals without being replicated. Issongable format and fraud. The minister has not been willing to change the format. We return to the Cantabria model with blank folio, it seems that it is what is going to be repeated,” said the Minister of the Andalusian Presidency. “You do not want to talk about the real problems that the Spaniards have suffered. It is a tease of hair, to hold a conference of presidents against most communities,” he added.
“What has led to a vote is only the proposal of government issues,” says the Minister of the Presidency of the Junta de Andalucía, which appeals to the “regulation” “indubitable” to accept the issues they had requested. “He will have to put it. There is no option,” he says. According to its version, “the change of format” has been rejected flat.
A few meters from there, at the headquarters of the PP of the street of Genoa, the advisors of the presidency of the 11 communities and the two autonomous cities chaired by the PP had concentrated this morning with the general secretary, Cuca Gamarra, and with the vice -secretary Elías Bendodo to design a joint action. The directors have then eaten in the headquarters of the Formation and then have come walking in a group to the Ministry building.
The Government announced that housing issues will be addressed at the Presidents Conference. But the directors are not formed and asked on Wednesday to incorporate issues such as the offering, border control and immigration on Wednesday to the agenda. They will also ask Minister Torres to “change the format” of the conference so that it is not a “monologue” of Sánchez, several territorial sources anticipate. So they will demand, if necessary, that the day is extended until 24.00 of that day. “You can ask them to open the airspace and take the Falcon To sleep in the Moncloa that night, ”they ironize.
It establishes that the issues to be addressed at the Presidents Conference will be set by the Preparatory Committee “with the conformity of its president – the Minister of Territorial Policy – and 10 autonomous communities or cities with a statute of autonomy.” But do not configure how the format will develop, beyond saying that it will be behind closed doors, indicates article 6, relating to “operation.” “The system that sets the order of intervention of the regional presidents will be agreed by the autonomous communities and cities with statute of autonomy within the preparatory committee,” adds section 2 of the same precept.
From the PP they complain that the last president of Presidents, held last December in Santander, was based on a mere exhibition of Sánchez against the gallery to give the appearance of “dialogant” with the popular barons. But they add that, in reality, there was no place for debate or to express their real concerns, these sources continue. “We are not here to give palms,” they say. The appointment came after the president of the Government had received one by one to all the regional presidents during the past fall in the Poncloa Palace. Except for the Madrid leader, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who refused to go, although she did move to Santander.
In the opinion of several popular sources, the designed format was too constrained and short. According to recall, Sánchez gave the floor one by one to the regional presidents with a limit of 10 minutes. They consider the regional executives that this formula does not allow the exchange of opinions and limits the debate. Several also emphasize that Melillese vice president, Miguel Marín – who came on behalf of the president, Juan José Imbroda, who cannot travel for personal reasons – Sánchez cut off the word when he had exceeded his time in 20 seconds. And underline the possibility of expanding the duration of the summit.
The strategy of the PP communities started days ago, with also telematic meetings, to set a common front. The territories had until Friday to propose, if they estimated it appropriate, add to the agenda of the summit provided for in the themes to be discussed. The government had already indicated that housing and education issues would be on the table. But the PP has agreed seven other points that, together with the change of format, demand to put in the agenda.
The seven issues
The first is the “fight against the squatting”, according to the documentation sent by the Minister of Presidency to the Government, an issue to which the right grants great importance despite the fact that official data denies the social alarm. Regarding autonomous financing, the PP wants to introduce the debate on the restructuring of the debt into the agenda – rejecting its rejection of the condonation agreed by the Treasury and ERC (extendable to all territories) and the unique treatment of Catalonia agreed by the PSC and ERC for the investiture of Salvador Illa -, as well as the approval by Royal Decree of the deliveries.
Another of the demands of the presidents of the Popular Party is to deal with the “indeligible exclusive competence” of the State in border and immigration control. This petition is introduced after the government and together agreed.
The pact adds to the slope transfer of migrants not accompanied to the Peninsula and to which the PP is opposed because it considers that Catalonia benefits. , and will undertake legal actions against communities that refuse to collaborate in their relocation. This Wednesday was also held, and in parallel, a sectorial conference of childhood on the subject.
Apart from the Catalan spine, the presidents of the PP have asked to address other issues such as safety in the energy model after the blackout of April 28, with the focus on the “technical investments in the Ree networks [Red Eléctrica Española] and support energies ”, which the popular use as a ram against Moncloa. Another section with a lot of political crumb is“ the serious deficit of critical infrastructure ”after the delays suffered a few weeks ago the high -speed rail network a few weeks ago.
The lack of health professionals and the financing of education from zero to three years are other demands agreed by popular barons. Murcia marks his own profile by asking for “the question of water and the need for a national water pact.” The Generalitat of Carlos Mazón proposes the same points as the other PP communities despite the Dana disaster. The Canary Islands, where Canarian coalition co -government with the popular ones, requires that Government and Autonomous Presidents deal with the Presidents Conference “Preparation of a Structural Migration Plan in the State” and that local regime legislation “to enable local entities to adopt agreements that limit the acquisition or use of housing by non -resident persons” is modified.
