Morlar has set a date for the process of bringing together candidates for the 2023 election processes. Pilar Lima, the regional coordinator of Podem, and the rest of the Valencian members in the State Citizens’ Council attended the meeting of the political governing body. In the training held at Podemos, which determined the dates of the next primary elections, where candidates for the 2023 municipal and regional elections will be determined, between October 10 and November 4, it was stated that the primary elections will still be open for registration. Recorded by telematic voting. To coordinate the process, a selection committee was formed, made up of state and territory officials, which will follow a path in different territories, including the Valencia region.
Lima presented the Valencia agenda, which he assured will be taken into account in the General Government Budgets (PGE) negotiations, emphasizing the need to reform the Autonomous Financing System, which has expired for 8 years, as the main point. It can be associated with fiscal and tax reform in Spain. In addition, the need to give the right to Alicante, which is the province that received the least investment per capita in the 2022 budget of the coalition government formed by PSOE and Podemos. It’s the same thing Generalitat demands in a corporate key.
“Despite the progress in financial matters already underway with the reforms made over the past two years, the time has come to comply with regional financing and ensure that our Community is not harmed by a lack of income, with 1,300 cryptocurrencies as in previous years. million euros a year,” Lima explained. “Clearly, receiving less funding for public services such as health, education or social policy managed by the Autonomous Community forces us to be in constant debt, and more than 28% of the Generalitat’s budget, 53,049 million euro debt“, added.
“Furthermore, from País Valencià, the need for investment in rail transport has been transferred to where the Community is also at the bottom, it is necessary to bet on this PGE to modernize the commuter system with electrification, double track, universal accessibility at stations or the elimination of level crossings and finally the country’s commuter transport become an autonomous authority in favor of its regional structure”.
Lima, on the other hand, underlined this. Podem will be on alert so that in the next budgets, there is an accurate distribution of last year’s regionalized investment. Clearly hurt Alicante, where the trend of the PP era of less than 100 euros per capita is back. Thus, Valencia purples are demanding fair investments for the Valencian Community and significant development for the province of Alicante in particular.
The state leadership of Podemos has promised to move the Valencia agenda to PGE’s negotiation and to be vigilant about regional investments, and will do so from now on when PGE is in the negotiation phase between its government partners. In the coming weeks, coordination will be established between the regional leadership and Podemos PGE negotiators to expand and develop the Valencia agenda.
