Puig Congress builds bridges with the 'abalism' after the pulse of the former minister: he integrates his last rival in the primaries into his executive
Politics Puig pressures Sánchez announcing that he will go to the demonstration for regional financing
Enemies in the past and more than allies in the present. That Pedro Sánchez and Ximo Puig have entered a new stage in their relationship of comings and goings is evident. The
14th congress of the PSPV
from which the Valencian leader has emerged reinforced as secretary general has represented a full stop in the agreement between the president of the Government and that of the Generalitat. To the point that the idyll between the two leaders does not remain only in words.
With Puig making the banner of the
decentralization of the State institutions
and Sánchez picking up the glove, the greatest prize that the socialist baron could receive at the close of his congress was the announcement of a state agency for the Valencian Community. And it will not only arrive, but it will do so in Benidorm and focused on tourism, since
the city of the Costa Blanca will host the intelligent platform for tourist destinations, with an investment of 130 million euros
. And we must not overlook the importance for the Socialists of the commitment to Alicante to counteract the power of the PP in this province and the undisputed support for tourism. Not surprisingly, its congress has been in Benidorm to focus precisely on this sector in the midst of the tourist tax debate.
From there it is understood the value that Sánchez's announcement has for Puig, who, in addition, has not forgotten this Sunday to make a reference to the reform of
regional financing
(he did not do so in his federal congress). Although, yes, to limit the promise that "the Government will be in the task of approving and negotiating a new financing system." In other words, nothing new and no specific deadline for this reform, one week after the Platform for Fair Financing goes out (with the presence of Puig himself). At least, "until it arrives, Valencia will have resources," the Prime Minister has guaranteed.
And there Puig himself has thrown a cloak on him, who acknowledged that
"the change in
de facto
financing
is already taking place
.
"
The president of the Generalitat has highlighted that the Valencian Community received more than 13,000 million euros from the State last year, 24% more. The highest figure "in history". Moreover, for Puig this shows that "the government is taking sides ... for equality."
His words must be understood in the context of the regional war that is leading the barons to position themselves in favor of one model or another of financing.
The extension of the expired model that harms the Valencian Community also wears Puig politically
, because it does not succeed in getting his party to carry out the reform. Hence, Puig emphasizes the amount of resources that in practice come from the State (they increased with the pandemic through the Covid fund, which, by the way, disappears in 2022).
What's more, Puig has boasted of Madrid's outrage over the amount of resources that the Valencian Community receives, since it somehow confirms his thesis.
In this sense, the Madrid Minister of Finance, Javier Fernández-Lasquetty, said a few days ago that
the Executive of Isabel Díaz Ayuso is studying going to court to denounce the Government for "contravening the equal treatment of the autonomous communities"
in the distribution of EU funds.
And precisely the Valencian Community is pointed out as one of the great beneficiaries.
Puig's response: that indeed the Government "is taking sides."
