The president of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, is committed to a policy in which “construction is made, short-term dividends are renounced in favor of coexistence, and dialogue and agreement are placed at the center of the agenda.”
Ximo Puig has attended this Wednesday in Dénia the opening of the summer course of the National University of Distance Education (UNED) The impact of the regional and local elections in the 2023 general elections: change of cycle?
During his speech during the event, the president vindicated values, consensus and coexistence, “in the face of the noise generated by emerging trends in today’s society such as authoritarianism, fanaticism and denialism”.
In this line, he has appealed for a responsible use of communication, especially social networks, “which have contributed to a radicalization of messages, a ‘boom’ of populism and a distrust of institutions”.
Likewise, Ximo Puig called for a change in attitude of politicians, “to flee from insult, division and toxicity”. “Political polarization -continued the president- has an enormous cost for everyone in social, economic and institutional terms. That is why we must not play with words, nor with lies”.
Ximo Puig also criticized those people “who do not have solutions for the great challenges, who are on the defensive in the face of future transformations and who generate division in complex societies”. “There are plenty of walls and there are no bridges,” said the president.
The event, framed in the XXXIV edition of the summer program of the UNED, was also attended by the mayor of Dénia, Vicente Grimalt.
