As fate would have it, the Supreme Court’s decision to reject the precautionary suspension of transfer cuts requested by the Generalitat coincided with the day that Consell chairman and PSPV re-election candidate Ximo Puig was planning an election. Action was taken in Orihuela, the capital of the region, which was seen to be most affected by water restrictions. For this reason He announced that he would appeal the judgment and promised that the socialists would defend water for all until the end.. It was in the same scenario that he placed Vega Baja as an example of the success of the school construction plan executed by the Botanical Government in the Valencian Community as a whole.
Puig was accompanied at the event by various candidates for mayor from the region, headed by Bárbara Soler, Torrevieja, as well as Joaquín Hernández, mayor of Orihuela, Carolina Gracia, and mayor of Dolores, among others. As it could not be otherwise, the PSPV leader referred to the Supreme Court’s decision as “we will appeal, we will maintain our position and demand precautionary measures“The socialists want water for everyone, and we will defend it to the end,” he added.
And to all this he pointed with conviction:reason and logic help us, so we always act accordingly through dialogue». However, he chose to “promote desalination and make a mix of all the resources we have, such as irrigation reuse or modernization,” and “with all that we can guarantee water in our land forever,” he said.
Regarding the criticism made by Carlos Mazón, President of the Provincial Assembly and PP regional candidate, “every institution must always do its part and it seems strange to me that we are being criticized for doing so. I think the nerves lead to some confusing explanations.
Puig, on the other hand, advocated “revolution in the educational architecture of the entire Valencian Community thanks to the Edificant Plan” and “Over these years we have improved the opportunities for all boys and girls in the Vega Baja region with an investment of 154 million euros.». In this sense, he stated that “five barracks here have disappeared, and there are also a thousand more teachers compared to 2015,” thanks to this program, and that a series of actions “contributed to the development”. education quality of the region ». In addition, he ironically stated that “PP now says it will make education free in three years while it is already free in the entire Community” and that in the next legislature this free will be extended to the age range. 0 to 3 years.
On the other hand, Socialists leader Vega vows to fix Baja’s connectivity issues “We will conduct a study to see the feasibility of TRAM in the region,” he said. That’s why, he denounced, “while others spend more money invested in advertising, we are committed to making things right with the CV-95 with an investment of 30 million.”
Regarding health, the socialist candidate recalled:We have said that we want a system that is public, universal and free, without participation, without privatization, and we are doing it.», using the Torrevieja Hospital as an example, «it is now open to the public and works better with 500 more people working. Citizens will no longer be customers and the best possible healthcare will be at their fingertips.
Finally, Puig stressed that today’s Vega Baja “has nothing to do with what it was eight years ago, the data shows that there are 20,000 more people working now than in 2015,” and he did not hesitate to point out: “If we continue to work together through social dialogue and agreements, We will ensure that the right to work is a right for everyone”.
