• Politics The barons of the PP give for failed the plan of Feijóo to govern the most voted list
  • Change of Government Feijóo regrets that Sánchez keeps Montero and Marlaska in the Government: "The surprise is those who stay"

The president of the PP of Aragon and mayor of Zaragoza, Jorge Azcón, said Monday that Teruel Hay has been "always" on the side of the PSOE before the possibility that this formation of the Emptied Spain is the 'key' to form the Executive, and has again offered the regional president, Javier Lambán, a pact to govern the most voted list.

This was stated by the popular candidate for the regional elections of Aragon at the meeting Spain to Examination, organized by the newspaper El Confidencial, where he has assured that the regionalist formation "has been a support of Pedro Sánchez" and that he has not seconded the initiatives presented by the PP in the Aragonese Courts.

Azcón has emphasized that the PP will work for the province of Teruel, "at least", at the same level as Teruel Exists. In addition, he has defended the measure to reduce up to 20 percent of business contributions in an effort to promote employment in Teruel.

"These types of measures unite us to Teruel Hay and the Popular Party. Whatever it is to defend the province of Teruel, there we will understand, "emphasized the mayor of Zaragoza.

In this sense, he has reproached Lambán for having "insulted" the deputy of Teruel Hay in Congress, Tomás Guitarte, after having called him "cantonalist" or "villager", stressing that he does not offend his political adversaries even if he does not agree with them.

Azcón has assured that "the Aragonese are not fools" and that in the next municipal and regional elections of 28-M they will prefer to vote for a monocolor party rather than an Executive formed by up to five formations in the event that the PSOE wins.

"Javier Lambán, today, has a quadripartite government and the only possibility of repeating as president of the Government of Aragon is possible that it is not a quadripartite but a pentapartite," he said, describing this possibility as a "cage of crickets".

Therefore, he has reiterated his proposal to Lambán of a pact to govern the most voted list, offering his vote if the PSOE wins the elections of the next 28-M. "I offer Lambán that if the PP is the first most voted force, he votes me as president of Aragon. And if he is the first most voted force I vote for him as president of the autonomous community, "he proposed.

He wants to govern alone

Asked if he would govern with the support of Vox, as happens in other autonomous communities such as Castilla y León, the popular candidate for the Government of Aragon has reiterated that his intention is to govern alone and not depend on other political formations.

According to Azcón, Vox has to decide if it wants the PSOE to continue governing with "the extreme left" or trusts in a PP government of change.

"The problem is whether Vox is going to have complexes and will allow a socialist to continue governing in the autonomous community if there is a majority or, if indeed, it will bet on change," he said, leaving in the hands of the formation of Santiago Abascal that the PP governs in Aragon.

"Lambán lies"

Meanwhile, the mayor of Zaragoza has accused the president of Aragon, Javier Lambán, of lying and basing his Executive on "not telling the truth", claiming that sometimes he is critical of the Government of Pedro Sánchez and then does not vote accordingly in the Cortes de Aragón.

"Is it true that Lambán has been able to criticize the pardons of Pedro Sánchez? It's true. But when Lambán has had to vote in the Cortes de Aragón on the pardons of Pedro Sánchez, he has voted in favor "Azcón has reproached the Aragonese president, citing other examples such as the Law of 'only yes is yes'.

In this sense, he has argued that the PSOE, both in Madrid and Aragon, thinks that "lies have no consequences", which is why he has assured that Lambán "does not deserve" a good result in the next elections of 28M.

"Politically, Lambán does not deserve that result (...) I think it is necessary that fresh air enters, that there is a regeneration of Aragonese politics, "said the president of the PP of Aragon.

"A fiscal hell"

According to the president of the Aragonese PP, Aragon is "a fiscal hell" because it is one of the autonomous communities where more taxes are paid. "The Aragonese pay 170 euros more on average than the Spaniards," he said, citing a recent study by the College of Economists.

He also stressed that there is no other autonomous community that "treats worse" the Wealth Tax, that Aragon is the third "worst" Spanish region in terms of inheritance tax, or that it is the community where more taxes are paid to access the purchase of a home. In addition, he stressed that Aragon is, according to the study, the fourth autonomous community that collects the most taxes per inhabitant.

"It's not my opinion, it's the data. Aragon is a fiscal hell, "riveted the PP candidate to the Aragonese Government, noting that his "priority" is the IRPF.

He has also accused the current Executive of defending tax collection without this being reflected in good public services. "There is no other autonomous community where it takes so long to be operated (...) The average is around 150 days, "said Azcón, highlighting other problems such as the state of the roads or an alleged deficit of investment in sport.

Therefore, he stressed that if you want to remove Pedro Sánchez from the Government of Spain, it is necessary to remove Javier Lambán from the Government of Aragon first.
