Isaura Navarro, Minister of Agriculture and Environment, Fired the Ecological Transition general manager, Peter Fresh. This was because of a reason common in this hectic department, which also ended with Mireia Mollà’s dismissal as councilor: inconsistencies in renewable energy sources. Additionally, Fresco already has a backup, because the minister Enric passed to Juan’s appointmentVice President for Inclusive Policies and Director-General of Social Services Infrastructures at the Ministry, until now managed by Aitana Mas.
Consell’s plenary meeting in Alicante this Friday will approve the dismissal of Fresco, the head of the General Directorate of Ecological Transition. Appointed by Molla in 2019. Graduated in Chemistry, professor-advisor at the International University of Valencia (Viu) and the author of several books, Fresco came to this department because of his knowledge of renewable energy, and that’s exactly what cost him his position.
Until this Friday, Ecological Transition general manager has been a strong advocate of accelerating renewable energy applications. and asking for “courage” to reach the milestones set by Europe is a speech similar to Mollà’s, but this contradicts the general line of Compromís and its new department head, which demands more attention. guarantees when installing these facilities.
The differences have become clear in recent days.. In fact, one of the sparks was his idea in a press article in which he showed that the self-consumption drive on rooftops would be insufficient to reach the 6,000 MW set by Brussels by 2030, and at most a third of that. number. His thesis clearly contradicts that of Compromís, which presented the ‘Comencem pel sostre’ campaign the next day, pointing out that it could reach 14 GW (14,000 MW) with the installation of panels on the roofs.
Moreover His participation in the Sumar action with Yolanda Díaz caused particular discomfort.. In his speech, he asked for “courage” to undertake this energy shift and called for “to go three times faster than we were going”. Her participation has also been interpreted as an influence of Mireia Mollà on the Government’s vice presidency platform, succeeding in placing one of her collaborators as a speaker in the Ministry.
Fresco is not the first to leave the Ministry after Mollà’s dismissal became official. They also left, but on this occasion they resigned, undersecretary of autonomy, Alfons Puncel, and Ecological Transition regional secretary, Paula Tuzon, The ones that fully set out their differences with regard to Compromís in terms of objections to the renewable energy installation.
substitution
Pedro Fresco already has a successor at the head of the General Directorate of Ecological Transition. Agriculture Minister Isaura Navarro has appointed Enric Juan, Director-General of Social Services Infrastructures within the Ministry and Vice Presidency for Inclusive Policies, hitherto managed by Aitana Mas.
Navarro once again appealed to the department headed by Mas. and until June, Mónica Oltra was tasked with making up for losses within the ministry she had arrived a month earlier, following Mireia Mollà’s sudden dismissal.
All the aforementioned, dismissed, resigned and newly appointed positions are linked to Iniciativa, the party of both. Monica Oltra, like Aitana More, like Mireia Mullah and this is where the internal fracture occurs.
