Francisco Igea was a discreet deputy of Cs until Rivera forced him to accept the tragala of being the costalero of the PP of Castile and Leon. And there Peru screwed up. Despite agitating campaign regeneration, he squandered the opportunity to facilitate change in a region that the right has been controlling since 1987. He is now vice president of an autonomy whose main problem is the lack of inhabitants . Well, coinciding with the protest in 23 provinces of the emptied Spain, Igea was dispatched with amazing statements: "We can close our eyes - he said after visiting a cheese factory in Palencia - but provide services to municipalities of 30, 27, 8 or 50 inhabitants does not seem very reasonable. "

Initially, it causes stupor that a politician who is part of the government of one of the regions most affected by depopulation is resigned to the extinction of a part of it. It is as if the Minister of Labor told us that there is no way to embryo unemployment. But what is really disturbing is the ignorance shown by the vice president of the community that loses more inhabitants every year: more than 10,000 in 2018. It is true that stopping the emptying of small towns does not depend only on the endowment of schools and health centers. Other causes of a labor and even cultural nature influence. However, the maintenance of basic services is essential to avoid repeating the urban concentration scheme of the State at the regional level . The strength of Valladolid obscures the rest of the region. And that means priming an unsustainable model that has led the public health system in Castilla y León to implement a surreal pilot project : leaving the outpatients of 11 regions open, but without doctors. There will only be doctors in "referral offices" to which patients should travel. The Minister of Health then put the brake on. In El Norte de Castilla we read that it will not close offices or the nurse will replace the doctor anywhere. Except in the region of Aliste (Zamora), which has touched the fat of the experiment.

Among such improvisation, Igea could raise an adult debate about the reforms needed to tackle the demographic challenge . Either in territorial planning or in infrastructure planning. Is that or give up insolvent and undocumented.
