The president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, recalled this Monday that the Galician elections, in which the PP achieved an absolute majority with 40 seats and the PSdeG was left with only 9, had a “national component” and that the poor results of the PSOE should provoke a “deep reflection” on its strategy to prevent “the cycle” of the PP from becoming a “cyclone.”
In a public event from Manzanares (Ciudad Real), Page, the only socialist baron who has repeatedly publicly shown his disagreements with Sánchez, particularly regarding his pacts with the independence parties, recalled that just as a defeat of the PP would have caused a reading on the PP’s strategy, the defeat of the PSOE should serve the same purpose.
He has also celebrated that the BNG has not been able to enter the Galician government, because the territories controlled by those who “hate” Spain only contribute to “weaken the State.”
Page has taken the opportunity to congratulate Alfonso Rueda, with whom he has a “very cordial” relationship, and to express his solidarity with the socialist candidate, José Ramón Gómez Besteiro, “who has had to run a campaign in complex circumstances, sandwiched in a sandwich.” .
The Castilian-Manchego president has pointed out that “without a doubt, the Galician elections obviously have an autonomous component.” “But we are not going to fool ourselves, the reality is that the product was regional, but the stew was national,” he pointed out.
Since 2020 there has been a “very hostile” cycle that should provoke “deep reflection”, since only “reflecting can prevent a cycle from becoming a cyclone” and the objective is to avoid that “electoral cyclone”, Page has argued. for whom “it is important to keep in mind that the autonomous communities are part of the State”, which can strengthen or weaken it.
Thus, he celebrated that “independence” actors do not enter Galicia, since “it is important” that everyone can play from “constitutional stability, each one from his own perspective and from his respect.”
