The president of

Asturias

, Adrián Barbón, assumed this Wednesday his "share of responsibility" for the "collective failure" of not having been able to add the 27 votes necessary to reform the

Statute of Autonomy

that would include the officiality of the languages ​​of the region and moved the debate to the regional elections to be held in 2023. "Let's see what people prefer," he said in response to the Vox spokesman at the

General Board

,

Ignacio Blanco

, who asked him if he already considers the negotiation finished which started last September.

"Twelve years ago four regional deputies sat in this chamber" who defended this cause and "today we sit 26", he summed up before addressing the "citizens who are frustrated today" to remind them that "there are elections in 2023".

"In those elections they will take the ballot of those parties that defend the reform of the Statute and, therefore, the official recognition of the languages ​​of Asturias or they will take the ballot of parties like yours [for Vox] that what it will propose, as it proposes in

Castilla y León

and it is directly that Asturias ceases to exist as political autonomy".

The three parties favorable to the official status of the Asturian and the eo-naviego, PSOE, Izquierda Unida and Podemos, have negotiated since last September with the aim of adding the decisive vote of Foro Asturias.

However, the talks began to capsize when the regionalists made their 'yes' conditional on the support of the left for their fiscal plan, which included the abolition of the inheritance tax.

From the beginning, IU was reluctant to unite both debates, but being the formation historically more committed to the

llingua

, it never wanted to get up from the table.

We can even present a proposal to reduce taxes that the Forum considered to resume negotiations.

The socialists finally sided with IU by encouraging the

purples

, with obvious sarcasm, to negotiate their fiscal model with PP, Ciudadanos and Vox.

The Minister of the Treasury,

Ana Cárcaba

, reproached them that the decrease for the public coffers would be 35 million euros.

However, during his speech this Wednesday Adrián Barbón attributed the shipwreck to the PP because "it has been inhibited in any negotiating attitude."

"The PP in all this has shown a tremendous complex," he argued, and already anticipating the pre-election tone, he assured: "Either the PSOE governs or Vox governs. You have a dragging effect on the PP, which has lost all the political personality that should have as a match".

For the socialist leader, who has always ruled out a reform of the basic autonomous norm that did not include officialdom, the dilemma that citizens will face in their next appointment with the polls will be the following: "Parties that believe in the autonomy of Asturias or parties like yours [by Vox] that what they want is to end the autonomy of Asturias".

The spokesman for Vox, Ignacio Blanco, took advantage of his reply to Barbón to "thank him for the electoral campaign he has carried out in Castilla y León, saying that either Vox governs or the PSOE governs."
