The right of Madrid and its vision of Spain
The Government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso arrogates the condition, with the permission of Alberto Núñez Feijóo (Galicia) and Juan Manuel Moreno (Andalusia), of being the ideological and management reference that the PP opposes to the Government of Pedro Sánchez. "The unity of Spain is guaranteed for example by fighting tax dumping, " said the president in his final intervention in the federal committee.
Madrid is the only community that rewards 100% equity, the tax that taxes wealth. And it grants 99% inheritance and donations. "As much as the right of Madrid, which is the one that now directs the PP, wants to impose its vision of Spain, fortunately for Spain many citizens of other territories reject it," said Sanchez.
Pedro Sánchez could hardly face the first great fire test of the Government in better conditions. At least in regards to the PSOE. The president finalizes the preparations for the premiere of the dialogue table with the Generalitat, on Monday in La Moncloa, with almost absolute support for his strategy to solve the territorial crisis in Catalonia. “This Government has to succeed for all others to succeed. If the Government is doing well, we will win the regional and municipal elections where it touches. If it is not going well, it is that Spain will do very badly. And in the face of that responsibility, the PSOE always has to be generous with the Spain we want. So, strength, courage and forward Pedro, ”said Susana Díaz in her speech at the federal committee on Saturday.
The former president of Andalusia and loser of the 2017 primaries was one of the territorial leaders who closed ranks with Sánchez with more enthusiasm. “You know perfectly well that I have a deep love for my country. I want to Spain. I want to Andalusia. In a month what happened? That Spain has not broken ”, defended Díaz in his speech behind closed doors, according to the reconstruction of the conclave carried out by EL PAÍS after interviewing about twenty assistants.
The support that Sanchez obtained in the highest decision-making body of the PSOE guarantees internal calm, at least for now, to face the great territorial problem. The president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, remained practically alone in his reservations to agree with the independentistas. “The moment is very special, probably of everything we have of democracy never as now the ground is so slippery. Never like now is the context going to be so mobile and so moved, ”he warned.
“There is no greater defender of the unity of Spain than the Spanish Socialist Workers Party. There has been no effort in recent years in defense of the unity of Spain than the political action headed by the President of the Government and our Secretary General. Have no doubt! ”Miquel Iceta wielded. The leader of the PSC highlighted the "suggestive" title of the Agenda for the reunion, the 44-point document - political dialogue, regional financing, infrastructure boost ... - that Sánchez handed over to the president of the Generalitat, Quim Torra, at his meeting in Barcelona two weeks ago. “That's what it is about. That the Catalans meet again and with the Spanish as a whole ”, he summed up. However, the first secretary of the Catalan Socialists warned of the "political risk" that implies "the very essence of the independentists' approach and the political attitude of the right, which instead of defending the unity of Spain has decided to use it as erosion of the political adversary. "
“It has been a month [of government formation] and it seems like an eternity. There were those who said that when there was a government of this nature, Spain was going to break and the world was going to sink, ”said Ximo Puig. The Valencian president said that "the only solution to overcome the territorial conflict is that the PSOE has more and more support." “We defend coexistence. Governments are for everyone, ”was his last advice.
José Manuel Franco, general secretary in Madrid and new government delegate, stressed "that the best way to break Spain is from the lack of solidarity and the lack of respect for the identity of other communities."
It was not the only claim. “We are the only party capable of addressing the territorial agenda with guarantees of coexistence and harmony between all territories and all citizens. We feel like we feel and have the identity we have, ”said Idoia Mendia, general secretary of the Basque Socialists.
