Interview with the Minister of Education and Sports Manuel A. Cardenete: "Many liberal parties like Cs have passed their desert crossing"
Little by little, Ciudadanos begins to digest the electoral advance and outline its own speech to mark distances with its popular partners in the Andalusian Government.
Although the mutual manifestations of respect and loyalty are maintained, there is no longer talk of
"encapsulation"
, which has been the formula that has allowed the coalition executive to overcome all the turbulence and survive the tensions of national politics, including the attempt of the PP leadership to
undisguisedly absorb
the cadres and voters of the liberal party.
In fact, Juan Marín, vice-president of the Junta and coordinator of Ciudadanos in Andalusia, who has been assuring for months that Moreno's commitment to
complete the legislature to its last consequences
would be fulfilled , has given a jolt to his speech to begin to claim the role of the
orange
party
in Andalusian politics, even above the PP, with whom at some point he flirted with the intention of negotiating joint lists.
This Thursday, however, during an
interview on Onda Cero
, Marín abounded in the differences that separate him from the PP, ruled out those
joint lists
and highlighted the influence of Citizens in the management of the Board even before the pact with the
popular
.
"The change began in 2015
," said Marín, referring to the investiture agreement signed by Ciudadanos with the PSOE of Susana Díaz for the last legislature of the Socialists.
Marín highlights how it was then that the first
income tax reductions
took place , the bonuses for the
Inheritance and Donations
tax were extended and the creation of an office against fraud and corruption was agreed, which the Government of Susana Díaz never got to create, which generated mistrust and complaints from his parliamentary partner.
Marín also remarked in that interview that it was the condition imposed by the liberal party on the PSOE that forced the resignation of
Manuel Chaves and José Antonio Griñán
from their positions in the Courts before their conviction for the ERE case in the Court of Seville.
«
I have made the change in Andalusia, not the PP
, which spent 37 years in the opposition.
If Cs hadn't been there, who knows what would have happened."
«Juanma Moreno -recalled Marín- is the president of the Board with
the worst result in history
: 26 deputies.
Andalusians know this.
"Personally I am not going to enter any government where my formation is not present," he also said in reference to a possible individual
rescue of some
orange
leader
if the electoral results made the repetition of the coalition unfeasible.
Regarding the next campaign, Ciudadanos points out what its strategy is going to be, presenting itself as the party that could guarantee that
the extreme right
does not enter the Andalusian Government as has already happened in the Castilla y León executive.
If the PP and Cs get enough votes, "Vox will not enter the government 'even dead'".
On the contrary, if the sum of both formations was not enough to guarantee governability, "I would tell Moreno to
govern alone
, with agreements."
That unchecking will serve to differentiate his speech against the PP.
"Citizens would never be in a government with Vox," said Marín, to then throw the ball to the roof of the president of the Board and popular candidate: "You would have to ask Moreno if he would do it."
He also praised the new leader of the popular, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, for recovering his relations with Cs after the stage of Pablo Casado and Teodoro García Egea.
"At least, Feijóo has shown
political intelligence
because he knows that he can have
an ally
in Cs to govern autonomous communities and not put Spain in the hands of the extreme right," he added.
