Two non-legislative proposals rejected, those promoted by the PSOE, and two others approved, those signed by the PP, such was the outcome of yesterday’s plenary session at the regional Parliament. In both cases, It was the sum of the popular votes … and Vox who made the result possible. The socialist initiative for free textbooks and compulsory school materials, nor the one which proposed to adopt different measures in terms of housing, did not succeed. On this same subject, the PP added the support of those of Abascal to ask the Spanish government to repeal the state law.
They obtained more votes with the proposal which also demanded urgent measures from the Government in the face of the crisis caused by swine fever detected in wild boars. PP and Vox were joined by the UPL-Soria, Por Ávila and the two unregistered lawyers, while the PSOE and Pablo Fernández (Unidas Podemos) voted against and Francisco Igea abstained.
The popular Óscar Reguera, when defending the initiative, assured that Castilla y León “did its homework” in the face of the Catalan orientation which “seriously harms” the sector and its exports. For this reason, he asked to strengthen coordination and, above all, to recover the role of hunting as an “essential” tool to control the wild boar population.
However, the Socialist, Vox and Soria YA groups proposed improvements to the non-legal proposal to force the Council to act within its competences, both on animal health and wildlife control, and not limit itself to “looking at Madrid”. To this end, they called for strengthening official veterinary services to increase surveillance, but also regional emergency and health response plans to help breeders.
The promoter, for his part, indicated that the focus on Catalonia “seriously harms” the sector and its exports, for which he called for the need to strengthen coordination, but above all to recover the role of hunting as an “essential” tool to control the population of wild ungulates in ecosystems. “Castile and León have done their homework in advance,” he said in response to the epidemic recorded in 2018 in Belgium, reports Ical.
Vox’s lawyer, José Antonio Palomo, who presented five additional amendments to an initiative that he considers “positive”, defended the need to adopt measures and not “vain words”, warning that the disease can “devastate” the pork sector. He regretted, however, that the PP did not require the adoption of any measure from the Council, which is why he asked both to analyze the health risks and to provide an “agile” response to breeders, while defending the need to reduce the population of wild boars, because they are the vector of transmission – he said – of swine fever and bovine tuberculosis.
