The movement against the discrimination faced by the province in the General Government Budgets took a qualitative step. The Fair Finance Platform, representing the parties, including PSPV-PSOE, Valencia Community employers and their unions, decided to organize. Unitary concentration before the Government Sub-Delegation in Alicante next November 18 To demand increased investments by the state in this region. However, the platform decided to ask the Chamber to participate in this protest and cancel the one called unilaterally for the next day 3, something PP got off the hook. Also, because it coincided with the mobilizations in which the unions called on the CEOE to demand a global increase in wages, the unions would not be able to attend that day, and the union’s presence was considered essential to give the unions wings. protest.
His campaign to demand a fair budget deal for Alicante was supported by businessmen, and he eventually managed to join political formations and trade unions. This was confirmed at a meeting held in Valencia this Friday by the Fair Finance Platform, agreed by its members, when assessing the long-standing grievance situation in terms of insufficient funding to which the Community and, very specifically, the province of Alicante, is exposed. , and the need for the response to this situation to be unitary accepted by the whole community and within the framework of the platform itself.
The first of the agreements reached involves exhausting all channels of dialogue that have already been mobilized and requesting another meeting with Government delegate Pilar Bernabé, so that she reports on the commitments made in terms of: 75 million euros to be included in budgets for the province. Another result concerns the submission of partial changes by all parties.
However, whatever happened in these appointments, it was decided to hold a meeting for the 18th the next day, coinciding with the fifth anniversary of the mass demonstration to demand fair funding for the Community. A mobilization they point out from the platform will renew the organization manifesto, which requests a change in the financing model, investments according to population weight, and the cancellation of the resulting debt. And on this occasion, to save in Alicante especially the burdensome situation of this province in terms of investments.
Everyone agrees there. The only contradiction came from the hands of PPUnsatisfied with asking Oda to withdraw the call for day 3. The regional president, Carlos Mazón, had to leave before the meeting ended, and was later led by the party’s representative, César Sánchez. , and the moment when the joint release will be prepared, when the popular ones fall from this point. Mazón himself said that “a big mistake Don’t support the province of Alicante when it needs it most,” he said, referring to the chamber organization’s decision not to support its protest, adding that “the platform has decided to maintain its own concentration and we will support it”. Mazón likewise insisted that the highest representatives of other parties not be present at the meeting, above all. first criticized by reference to the socialist Ximo Puig, head of Consell, and Aitana Mas of Compromis. He also remembered what Crevillet was
To these explanations, PP’s “try to take advantage of this situation politically. They agree behind closed doors, but then back down purely for partisan and electoral interests”. The only way for the socialist representative is “unity of action and joint dialogue”.
Salvador Navarro, president of the Valencian Community Business Confederation (CEV), expressed his satisfaction with the outcome of the meeting. join all parties and unions in this claimand also all agreed to convene the 18th meeting, regardless of the outcome of the amendments proposed by the parties to the Budgets”. For Navarro, this action should serve as a wake-up call to the Government, “because the insult to the state of Alicante has already been committed, even though investments have now been restored,” he said.
Natxo Bellido of Compromis underlined the platform members’ willingness to work consensively “to correct the underfunding that both the Community and mainly the province of Alicante are exposed to”. Valuing it, Podem said, “Although the concentration of the Assembly is in line, it is worth doing it more broadly”. Luis Poveda from the USA thinks: The protest of the 3rd day “does not touch”Tony Woodward of Ciudadanos advocates joining forces while expressing support for the agreements, although he predicts his party will join the House’s action “if it finally happens”.
Finally, Paco García, general secretary of the CC OO at l’Alacantí-Les Marines, points out that all action must be carried out “transversely” through the platform, something shared by the same borderline UGT secretary, Yaissel Sánchez. who approveseach of us can’t go around making noise on our own“.
