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.
