Moreno criticizes that the singular financing of Catalonia and the debt removal breaks solidarity between communities
The president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juan Manuel Moreno, has compared the solidarity that presides over the execution and distribution of European cohesion funds and the latest decisions taken by the central government that, according to the PP, benefit Catalonia, in reference to the singular financing and the debt remove to the communities.
In an act at the Menéndez Pelayo University, Moreno has wondered “What would happen if the principle of solidarity that nourishes cohesion funds in the EU was broken?” He has raised the hypothesis that “Germany said unilaterally: ‘I do not put hard for the Spaniards, for the Italians, for the Greeks …'”. Given this, he thinks that the Spaniards would ask “how are we going to build a common space if the countries that have more per capita income, more wealth do not contribute to the rest also having more economic development? Because in Spain exactly that is happening,” Moreno said.
The Andalusian president has questioned, without appointing it, the consequences that the singular financing committed to the independence parties would have for the rest of the autonomous communities: “It is possible that sectors that do not believe in a common project, such as the Kingdom of Spain, their resources are left, and the principle of solidarity and equality between Spaniards fractures it exclusively for a particular and selfish interest, which is being maintained in power.” “That would be unfeasible and foolish,” said the popular leader.
Moreno has also reiterated the reasons why Andalusia would not accept the remove of almost 19,000 million euros of debt. Understand that what underlies this measure is to content the independence partners and has taken the opportunity to launch the request that “it is Europeanized and that it maintains cohesion, solidarity and coherence in the discourse”, which it does maintain in Brussels.
