Every opportunity is a good opportunity to bring the Valencia agenda to the table, and yesterday Cortes president Enric Morera took advantage of Senate chairman Ander Gil’s visit to the Valencian Parliament. The second authority of the Valencian Community handed Gil over the “pending in Madrid” issues on the Valencian agenda, such as constitutional reform or insufficient funding for the recognition of the Valencian Civil Code.
Gil visited Valencia as part of a tour of regional visits that began in November last year to promote the representative role of the Senate and its participation in fostering interregional dialogue.
Morera valued the institutional visit and the Senate’s approach to autonomous assemblies and took advantage of the meeting to highlight issues on the Valencia agenda pending decision in Madrid, such as the constitutional reform or the issue of the recognition of the Valencian Civil Code. insufficient funding, according to parliamentary sources.
“It was a very productive meeting where we affirmed the need to update and reform the Constitution to improve it and therefore the blockade that the constitutional reform process was subjected to in order to reach broad consensus and update the text according to social and societal reality. The politics of the “moment”, as Morera advocated, was not understood.
He also advocated the need to strengthen the participation of the autonomies, to include the European Union in the Magna Carta and to encourage participation in the process of building a “stronger” union.
In the opinion of the Cortes president, “State institutions need to have a more global vision of the plural reality of autonomies as a value to be protected and promoted.”
