The president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, stressed this Wednesday that his only shirt has always been that of the PSOE and has added that he defends it “long before those who now distribute them” and that it is not a ” straitjacket” but rather a “freedom shirt” with which one can speak “with the aim of improving.”
During the inauguration of the El Confidencial forum “Castilla-La Mancha, investment destination”, in Toledo, García-Page responded to voices such as the deputy secretary general of the PSOE, María Jesús Montero, who after the electoral analysis of the Galician elections that she García-Page replied that “you always have to know, when your team plays, what jersey you are wearing.”
García-Page has replied that as president of Castilla-La Mancha the “only shirt” he defends is his land, but as a “political animal” and a “politically aware” person he has always had only one shirt, that of the PSOE, even “since long before those who now distribute them”.
“I have always had the same shirt and, furthermore, I have defended the same shirt to the point of winning the odd trophy,” said García-Page, who specified that the “PSOE shirt” is not “a straitjacket.” ” but a “shirt of freedom, where things can be said with the aim of improving.”
He has criticized that it has become fashionable to respond to his political arguments “with insults or somewhat offensive insinuations”, which he will not enter into, he has advanced, because “it is not healthy.” And continuing with the ‘straitjacket’ simile, he has said that he fights so that the former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont does not “put” the “straitjacket” on all State institutions and Spanish politics.
The Castilian-Manchego president has also stated that frontism is the main problem of Spanish politics since the traditional “imperfect two-party system” was replaced by a “bloc fight” that is “much more fratricidal” and prevents dialogue, because, in addition, “companies” prevent you from doing so.
In this regard, he has defended that the PSOE has a metabolism of being “majoritarian”, not a populist or frontist party but a party that has capitalized and structured great concepts and large majorities; But he has warned that “companies push outside the perimeter, radicalize you or try to do so.”
García-Page has stressed that there is still “possibility of agreement on the playing field of the central part” and has considered that it is “very difficult to move forward” with the “dose of frentism” that exists in Spanish politics and that we must recover the possibility of “big agreements”, although saying so seems “sacrilegious”, he pointed out.
