The president of Castilla La Mancha, the socialist Emiliano García-Page, has criticized in very harsh terms the agreement reached between his own party and Junts to validate two Government decrees and which will entail the delegation of immigration powers to the Generalitat. and has asked the Executive to reflect, taking advantage of the fact that Pedro Sánchez has summoned his ministers this Saturday precisely at the Quintos de Mora farm in Toledo.
García-Page has warned that this transfer “has nothing progressive about it.” “If the powers were requested by Vox, everyone would tear their clothes,” said the Castilian-La Mancha president, for whom “it is not admissible that the Catalan independentists, who are otherwise supremacists if not xenophobic, are proposing that “the government governs with a straitjacket.”
For García-Page, what the Government and the PSOE have done is not negotiate but give in and has called on him to reflect on “where the current situation is leading”, since, in his opinion, “when you don’t know where it will end , the road is no longer worth it.” “They play with things that affect the rest of us,” denounced the Castilian-La Mancha president from a school in Guadalajara, where he warned that “behind so much speech and so much controversy that no one should be fooled, there is money, there are interests.”
García-Page has demanded a Spain “in which there are no social or territorial privileges, nor where there is a part of the country that thinks it has an advantage and that can manage political advantage.” “This is not admissible,” added the socialist president, who considered that “today Spain is immersed in a labyrinth with no exit,” in which “it seems that the institutions of the State have to submit to a kind of straitjacket.”
“I don’t know how long this will be able to last or at what price,” insisted Page, who has urged his fellow believers to “put a limit on things.” “Under no circumstances can you play with things that are structural and essential, for example border policies.”
At this point, García-Page has expressed his concern “as a Spaniard” that “someone like Puigdemont has immigration powers when he wants to consider me a foreigner.” “I know that Puigdemont, if he could, would turn me into a foreigner, so the only competition that he would never put in his hands is precisely this,” he stressed. For this reason, he has asked the socialists to put their “foot on the wall” against the independentists, who, in his opinion, “are breaking up the State and building their own.”
