The president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, has regretted that the simple fact of having a conversation with other presidents is seen as a crime and has added that it is not the country in which he believes, the one in which, “If you meet with Puigdemont, they applaud you, but if it is with the president of Andalusia, they get upset.”
Page, in response to questions from journalists during the inauguration of a nursery school in Cardenete (Cuenca), assured that he will not stop understanding institutionally with any political leader.
This is how the regional president has expressed himself regarding the criticism received in recent days, both for stating that with the Amnesty law the PSOE is placing itself on the outskirts of the Constitution, and for holding a meeting in Fitur with the presidents of Andalusia , Murcia and Valencia, the four autonomous communities that Fedea reports indicate receive less financing per inhabitant to maintain public services than the rest of Spain.
“In the field of financing, I am not going to be carried away by any type of political affiliation,” said García-Page, who has made it clear that it does not matter what comments are made because his objective, and what he was voted for, , is “defending this land when we are risking our beans.”
There is objective data of underfinancing of these four autonomous communities and “I don’t care if they are governed by the PP, the independentists or whoever, because we are finally talking about things to eat,” said Page, who has insisted that there is no an ideological debate but a strictly territorial one, because it is what they owe to the citizens and it is their responsibility.
“I don’t want the money to hold illegal referendums, I want it to build daycare centers, health centers, nursing homes and hospitals. It’s the big difference,” he stated.
Regarding the cost that expressing your opinion may entail, you said that when you “go to the dance, you have to be prepared to be stepped on, and for those of us who don’t know how to dance, even more so, therefore, I’m not worried about there being debate and dialogue”. “The important thing is that many important things are happening in Spain and I think it is more important that we can talk about them, rather than tiptoeing around,” said the Castilian-Manchego president.
