Document this does not conclude that the signature is irregularbut it frames this action in the manner of work that supposedly guides the actions of those investigated in this case, and which would justify the receipt of recurring bills of public assistance from various administrations, including Valencia.

According to the circumstances, my son worked for three months, absolutely legally”, the head of Consell stated. He assured, however, that he was “moral disgusted by what the PP did” and that “there was nothing to hide in any case” and that “the Ministry of Education acted correctly, as justice has repeatedly said”.
Ximo Puig therefore recalled that the popular person supporting the complaint tried to oppose Rubén Trenzano (Compromís), director-general of Language Policy, “and justice said no and decided that the aid was given in an absolutely lawful manner”.
But the PP doesn’t care,” he concluded, arguing that “those who should assume political responsibility in the area of political responsibility are those who denounce it as illegal and run a dirty campaign whose sole purpose is to stir up trouble. community stability.

In the case of Ximo Puig’s brother, he limited himself to saying that “all cases should be treated equally”.
Without making “future” about Oltra

“No dirty laundry; so there is nothing to wash: there is trust in justice”stationed the journalists after visiting a VET fair in Plaza del Ayuntamiento de València with Education Minister Vicente Marzà.
After confirming that he both trusted justice and distrusted the opposition’s “maliciousness”, Puig argued that unlike the previous PPCV government, which was a “cradle of corruption”, Consell was focused on moving forward and overcoming the crisis. Emphasizing that big companies such as Volkswagen have decided to invest in the Group, he said, “We have now left many communities behind in reputation, this is the truth.”
On the contrary, he criticized “the right is playing something else; the worse, the better, and they are only concerned about having a choice of government by allying with the far right.” “You can’t try to permanently destroy it without contributing,” he warned.
When asked if he would keep Oltra (Compromís) if he was eventually blamed, refused to do “futures” He reminded that he absolutely trusts justice and defends it “actively and passively”. “And that’s my position – it abounds – we’ll see what (justice) determines in the future”.
Puig: Government deals absolutely necessary to consider financing
Generalitat chief Ximo Puig assured this Friday that it was “absolutely necessary” to “take into account” the change in the regional financing model in State deals, and said he would write to the president. In this context, the Government, Pedro Sánchez and PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
“I think it is necessary to rebuild the regional agreement of the early 1980s, and a fundamental pillar in this agreement is financing,” Puig said after being asked by journalists whether regional financing was out of the political agenda. The meeting between Sánchez and Núñez Feijóo did not address this issue.
Stating that he did not know whether the issue came up at any time in the meeting, Puig said, “The political agenda cannot be excluded; regional financing is essential to maintain the welfare state and welfare state.” but for us it is a claim and a fact for all of Spain that needs to change”.
“The welfare system cannot be strengthened if we do not have enough resources. Therefore, this discussion cannot be postponed indefinitely, as there is a financial shortfall that affects all autonomous communities first, and then there are those who are doubly affected,” he said.
According to Puig, “it’s time to reactivate the economy, stop the rise in prices, it is necessary not to break out, but to ensure a strong, vigorous welfare state that can encompass the whole society. Therefore, this is an issue that will always be on the agenda for us.”
When asked if someone would be involved in regional financing in the face of possible government deals, the Valencia CEO said he would “address the head of Government and head of PP on this issue”.
“I think that regional financing should definitely be taken into account in state pacts. You can’t look the other way because there is a problem of inadequacy for Autonomous Communities and therefore they determine the weakening of the welfare state. We certainly will not be promoted, quite the opposite”, he stressed.
According to Puig, this deficit “leads us into a huge amount of debt. We will continue to guarantee public services with debt if necessary as long as there is no adequate financing system, but it is clear that this cannot continue. It should be included in these government deals for financing, and I am absolutely in favor of it.”
