• Politics Page close to the PP in Castilla-La Mancha for the support of Casado to the transfer of the Tagus

After the congress of "unity" that the PSOE held in mid-October in

Valencia

, the communities held their appointments in those weeks to renew the leadership of the socialists in the territories. In

Castilla-La Mancha

there will be no contest. Emiliano García-Page renews his barony this weekend in a meeting where the Castilian-Manchegos maintain their pulse in the 'water war': "The transfer has to come to an end."

The

PSOE

of

Castilla-La Mancha

is a leading actor in two of the most important cracks that cause anxiety in the Socialists: water and regional financing. This weekend's congress, attended by about 1,000 people, serves to establish, in this case rather to ratify, the position of the formation on these issues, which will be key in the coming months in the political debate and in which there are different positions within the party.

The documents in which the socialists of

Castilla-La Mancha

have worked

consider the step taken by the Government of Spain to reduce the transfer "correct", but "insufficient". His position, which clashes with that of his colleagues in

Valencia

, Murcia or Andalusia, is clear: "We are very clear that we must not lose the perspective that the transfer, at a given moment, has to come to an end".

The transfer was one of the controversial and sensitive issues of the PSOE federal congress, to the point that to avoid a 'war' in the middle of the conclave, the party tiptoed past. It did not adopt a position neither for the defense without fissures of the "maintenance of the Tajo-Segura transfer" as requested by

Murcia

and

Valencia

, nor for shielding the "priority of use of the transferring basin" as the Albacete federation wanted.

Page confirms his position;

commitment to prioritize the transferring basin in the allocation and reservation of water resources.

And the Castilian-Manchego socialists clearly point out that the "current reality, which will be aggravated by climate change, is that the headwaters of the Tagus do not generate sufficient resources to meet the needs of Levantine agriculture."

"Interterritorial solidarity cannot be based on bringing water from

dry

Spain to

dry Spain", they state, to call for the use of desalination plants in the Levant as a solution that, they recall, "were co-financed with European funds."

REGIONAL FINANCING

The other sensitive and important issue is that of regional financing. The

Government

and the national leadership of the

PSOE

want their territorial leaders to unify a position, something that the barons see as impossible. At the end of November there will be a meeting in

Galicia

between regions of the PP and the

PSOE

for the defense of emptied Spain.

The PSOE of

Castilla-La Mancha

is clear about its criteria.

Faced with

Valencia

or

Andalusia,

which ask to prioritize the adjusted population,

Page

defends that of the real cost of public services, that is, that the Executive prioritizes that the most depopulated regions have a cost per capita for the provision of services higher than that of other regions more populated.

It also makes a commitment to "fiscal harmonization" as "one of the pillars that supports the new financial model of the Autonomous Communities".

A declaration of intent in a context where

Madrid

has been put in the spotlight

, since socialists and nationalists consider that it is doing 'fiscal dumping'.

As happened in the congress led by Pedro Sánchez, the union leaders in this region will also intervene in the congress of the socialists of Castilla-La Mancha, but the difference is that the employers, the businessmen, will also have a voice.

Intervene

Nicolas Angel

, president of the Confederation of Employers of Castilla-La Mancha (Cecam).

The ministers Félix Bolaños and Isabel Rodríguez will also attend.
