Good connoisseur of the uniqueness of regional financing and the complexity of preparing the budgets of the Generalitat Valenciana, after its stage as Minister of the Botànic, the now secretary of State for Territorial Policy, Arcadi Españahe approached Tuesday during his speech at the Alicante Forum The differences in this field that separate the Government of Pedro Sánchez from the Consell de Carlos Mazón. He did it leaving the occasional message in the direction of the regional executive, while dealing with other issues that are marking national political news.
“If an entrepreneur decides in his company certain actions that lower the resources, would Generalitat He could not make fiscal sales and think that this was not going to have consequences. On the regional financing model he also criticized that “in the last Fiscal and Financial Policy Council the autonomies of the PP left and abandoned the government.”
As Secretary of State for the Ministry of Territorial PolicySpain spoke of the problem of migrants who reach the Spanish coast, with special incidence in the Canary Islands but also with strong impact on the Spanish southeast. In this context, he requested solidarity between autonomies, recalled that this was the issue that broke the regional governments that formed the PP and Vox and questioned that in the Valencian Community there is a lack of lack of resources with 5 million inhabitants and 900 minors while in the Canary Islands there are 2 million inhabitants and 6,000 minors.
Valencian
With the measured tone that characterizes him, the Secretary of State also addressed issues such as the controversy around Valencian in Alican Council of Ministers. The breakfast-collocation with Spain took place at the Master Restaurant. The act was presented by the head of the Climatology Laboratory of the University of Alicante (UA), Jorge Olcina, and was moderated by the Information Director, Toni Cabot. The Alicante Forum is organized by information, Iberian Press, the Information Club, Information, the UA, the Valencian Business Confederation (CEV), IMED Hospitals, BMW Benigar, Sum Tax Management, Carmencita and Vectalia.
The act starring Spain had two parts. In the first one he offered a speech while in the second he answered a battery of questions linked to local, autonomic and national political news. The Secretary of State opened his speech remembering the women killed this year by sexist violenceAfter a black week, he recalled the work he did with Olcina for the recovery of the Vega Baja and made an allegation against political polarization and favor of multilateralism, dialogue and “the balanced positions that move away from extremisms.” As an example of good practice in this regard, he put the political action carried out by the Government.
He also talked about the territory and regional competencies of the Generalitat. In this sense, it wondered what would happen if it is allowed to build in risk areas, if the Use of Valencian in Alicante or if the bombing on the central market is not remembered or where is the tomb of Miguel Hernández. The introduction of Spain concluded by putting in value the indicators of the Spanish economy. «We have isolated ourselves from the noise clouds and we have worked with effort. You have to lower the tension and listen to all the Spaniards, ”he claimed.

Already in the section of the questions, the Secretary of State was questioned about the criticisms of the Government by Mazón due to the activation of the Autonomous Liquidity Fund (Fla). «The Generalitat has more resources than ever. I understand criticism, I respect her. But you also have to be aware of reality in its global context. We have seen tax drops within autonomies, ”he said before referring to the consequences that the tax reduction would have with which the Consell de Mazón It happened to Botànic after his eight years.
Dana
Consell's criticisms of the government for aid delays De la Dana also deserved his reflection: «I am ambitious, progressive, left and moderate in the background and shapes. This is not a career, it is working. The data is there. We should serve people and then do everything else. Being every day in a fronton game is not good for the Valencian Community or for the victims of the Dana ».
On regional financing, he pointed out that it is an “imperative need” for the State and that “the board is complicated.” In the same way, he stressed that in the last Fiscal and Financial Policy Council the autonomies governed by the PP leave. He then expressed his surprise with the fact that these same autonomies with popular governments do not accept debt remove: «The Valencian Community It has a debt that is a slab. They tell you that they are going to take away 11,000 million in the set of autonomies and that you leave the table I find it surprising.
«Sánchez's goal is to exhaust the legislature and continue with the country's work path»
As Secretary of State for Territorial Policy, the relationship between autonomies and the central government allowed many issues to be put on the table. One on which the debate is also long -distance is that of competitions. «Here you also have to remove noise and listen. I have heard that President of the Generalitat He wants coast skills. Without any problem, you can speak and act accordingly, ”he said before dealing with the problem of migrants, about which he expressed his” personal sadness “and in which he recalled a vital experience on El Hierro Island that will” accompany him all his life. ” «It's tragic. Alicante is supportive, I remember when City of Light welcomed Ukrainian refugees. What is the difference, the skin color? We need moderation in this country to return in all areas, ”he claimed.
«We all know what happened to the Dana. It was something tragic that the Valencians will judge »
Bining this issue with other aspects that are generalizing polarization, Spain addressed issues such as Climate change – “The worst for a politician is myopia, short-term,” he said- or the controversy around the Valencian revived in Alicante by the PP and Vox: “It has reactivated where there was no problem, where there was coexistence. There are political forces that seek the conflict ».
Finally, He valued the botànic legacy and recalled the situation in which Mazón is found for his controversial DANA management. «We all know what happened and I will not get into that anymore. It does not contribute more to the debate. It was a tragic thing and the Valencians will judge him at the time. I am worried about the image because it cost a lot to recover the reputation ».
“Shame” and “rage” for corruption cases in the PSOE
Political news began by marking the first questions he answered in the Alicante Forum The Secretary of State for Territorial Policy, Arcadi Spain, a situation determined by the entry into prison of the PSOE organization of the PSOE, Santos Cerdán. «I feel what anyone, anger and shame. It is a very difficult situation that shames us as socialists. We have to put the means to prevent it from happening again and acting with democracy, ”was the first response of the former Consseller.
He then addressed other thorny issues, such as the audios in which José Luis Ábalos and Koldo García talked about women and prostitution. «I am surprised that they traffic with women, to use them as objects. I get out. The worst part is referring to women as merchandise, ”he criticized. At the same time, he analyzed other issues, such as the pools in which he appears to be the next secretary of the PSOE organization – “they are journalistic speculations,” he said – or the future of Diana Morant and Pilar Bernabé: “One will be president of the Generalitat and another mayor of València.”
Spain also believes that Sánchez will end the current legislature despite the setbacks that he finds along the way, while reiterating that the PSOE claims the president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, who calls regional elections. «We have asked for elections, they all know. I am concerned about the urgency of helping, ”he said in allusion to the management of the DANA. There was also time for him to offer a local political analysis, since he talked about the manager that the PSOE has launched in the capital of the province. “Those responsible for the party in Alicante have to live up to it,” was his message.
Organic policy
The protagonist of the Alicante Forum acknowledged that talking about organic policy, the interiorities of his party, is not what makes him feel more comfortable. This did not prevent him from being asked about issues about the possibility of a change of course in the socialist road map and finally Bernabé that headed the next regional candidacy, to the detriment of Morant. This scenario was discarded by Spain. «We are lucky to have two women out of series. One is going to be a magnificent mayor of Valencia and another president of the Generalitat. This has been decided by the game, ”he insisted.
Apart from showing his repulsion to figures such as Cerdán or Ábalos, the Secretary of State had time to praise some colleagues in the PSOE. Especially felt were the words he dedicated to Ana Barceló: «I worked with her in the pandemic and I saw what he did and what he suffered for all of us. His work in Alicante is being very important ».
