Camps linked the need to return these powers to Madrid with the “big problem” of financing the autonomies’ welfare models, citing the Valencian Community “which owes the State 45,000 million euros” as an example. “technically” invalidates the ability to finance independently. Therefore, it was accepted “In one, ten or twenty years, there will be a big deal to “cancel” this debt by the State, with even Brussels’ obligation..

The socialist who headed Consell and preceded the Camps in ratifying the first Valencia Statute, recalled the “torticera but original” method this Tuesday by which the Valencian Community ratified its highest standard in 1982, the highest standard in Article 143 of the Convention. The Constitution plus an organic transfer law that equates it with other statutes.

Lerma, Community Could have been the fourth person to ratify the Magna Carta in 1980following the traditional procedure and by referendum, however, the UCD’s attitude, which conditioned the transportation route to a partisan issue, delayed it a bit..
