Will
Pedro Sánchez
make it
easier
for
the PNV to break the denomination of origin of Rioja wine
in full budget negotiation? The socialist president of La Rioja
Concha Andreu
must fear that her secretary general and president of the Government will betray her
next Tuesday
because she has called a
social "summit" the
day before
to visualize the rejection of the PNV's legislative initiative. A modification of the Denominations of Origin Law that would be aborted if the Socialist deputies voted against it.
Juan Cuatrecasas
, a PSOE deputy from La Rioja, has already recognized that, despite having his own opinion, he will vote as ordered by his parliamentary group and the Ministry of Agriculture.
The PNV registered in
July 2020
the proposal to change the law that regulates appellations of origin of supra-autonomous territorial scope. The objective of the nationalists is to promote a
Rioja Alavesa own denomination within the Rioja Denomination
that would guarantee the Basque Government in control of the regulatory council of this subdenomination. A rupture of the Rioja denomination that
was so far opposed by the Minister of Agriculture Luis Planas
and against which the
Socialist president of La Rioja Concha Andreu
has also manifested and is intended to mobilize
when verifying that the parliamentary initiative will be debated next Tuesday with the probable support of the votes of his own companions.
Andreu's reaction this morning in Santiago de Compostela and the first statements of the socialist deputy for La Rioja Juan Cuatrecasas advance an
affirmative vote of the PSOE to take into consideration the legal reform
just when the PNV has not yet confirmed that it will support the budgets from 2022 when EH Bildu, his 'intimate enemy' in Basque politics, has already done so.
The PNV argues that this change would appease the claim of fifty Alava wineries to
continue with the name 'Viñedos de Álava',
which is promoted by the Association of Wineries of Rioja Alavesa (ABRA) and which intends to
break away from the Rioja Denomination
which includes wineries from La Rioja, Navarra and Álava.
But both in the Socialist Government of La Rioja and in the Rioja Regulatory Council, the initiative of the PNV with the support of the Socialist deputies has caused panic and a unanimous rejection that will be displayed next Monday, November 29. "The imminent congressional debate of the legislative proposal
materializes the threat
, before which the president of the Regulatory Council has convened a
monographic Extraordinary Plenary
on this matter," announced today the entity chaired by
Fernando Ezquerro
. The Regulatory Council chaired by Ezquerro has recalled its critical stance with the intentions of the PNV since it registered the legal modification in July. "The commitment to use all available resources to abort what was understood as an
attempt to de facto create a new Denomination of Origin was then taken up,
" recalls DOC Rioja in the call for the extraordinary plenary session that will take place 24 hours before the plenary session. Congress that will debate the initiative.
Hours later, the president of
La Rioja
Concha Andreu has also decided to move from Santiago de Compostela where she participated in a meeting between regional presidents called by the Galician president
Alberto Nuñez Feijóo
. The institutional meeting will take place in the La Grajera winery and Andreu intends that this
"summit" will be
attended by the Regulatory Council and its sectoral associations, all the parliamentary groups of La Rioja, all the Rioja senators and deputies, unions, agricultural associations, Chamber of Commerce, University and local media.
One of those summoned will be the socialist deputy Juan Cuatrecasas who, in statements to the newspaper La Rioja, has avoided clarifying what his parliamentary group will do although he has acknowledged that
he will vote what they order
even if it goes against his personal criteria. The silence of the PSOE feeds the suspicion denounced by the
PP spokesperson in Congress Cuca Gamarra
of a vote in favor of the intentions of the PNV in the midst of the budget negotiation process that will conclude in the Congress in the coming days to move to the Senate. "We invite you to join in making what those who have always defended our wine ask for," Gamarra told the Socialist deputies before the silence in which they hide, including the Minister of Agriculture Luis Planas.
The PP justifies its vote against as a sign of its
support for "our farmers, our winegrowers, our winemakers, our wines"
and in defense of the "unity" of a wine appellation recognized throughout the world.
