“If Pedro Sánchez has to lead his party into a slow and hard agony to save itself, he will do it”

The President of the Council, Juanma Morenolooks in the mirror of Extremadura, Castile and León or Aragon, where their respective governments were forced to call elections “because they were not authorized to govern”.

This is not the case of Andalusia, stressed Moreno, who stressed that “without a majority, there is no stability or budgets“. This is what happened in the communities he mentioned during his speech at the Europa Press breakfast in Jerez.

The President of the Council insisted that the elections in Andalusia will take place at the end of spring. Nothing obliges him to do so before, he stressed, because he benefits from a majority which gives stability to the Andalusian government. “We are an island“, he summarized.

The same thing does not happen in Aragon, Castile and León or Extremadurahe insisted, where “Vox was not allowed to govern” and where they could not approve budgets either.

“Andalusia approves its budget, which comes into force on January 1,” said the Andalusian president, a question that gives “confidence” to investors and businessmen.

Pedro Sanchez

Thus, only if the President of the Government, Pedro Sanchez, advance the general elections, Moreno will call them before the estimated date, at the end of spring.

As the elections approach, Moreno highlighted that the latest survey by the Center for Andalusian Studies (Centra) shows that “a large majority who is committed to stability and serenity” in the community.

This stability, added the President of the Council, has allowed Andalusia “to have experienced growth higher than the Spanish average during these years”. “Andalusia prefers its own formula stability and serenity,” he added.

The president took advantage of his speech to underline the importance of the figure of the self-employed and entrepreneurs in the Andalusian economy: “They are the strength of Andalusiathey support thousands of families.

For Moreno, part of the success of the Andalusian economy, which “plays at the top of the table in macroeconomic matters”, is partly explained by the self-employed.

Thus, Andalusia has welcomed almost 70,000 new self-employed workers since 2018, when the PP arrived in the Andalusian government. “One in three new self-employed workers who is registered in Spain does so in Andalusia,” added Moreno.

“The sector is growing strongly. 17 percent of them, or more than 100,000 people, have between 1 and 7 employees. They employ more than 221,000 Andalusians“, explained the Andalusian president.

For Moreno, self-employed workers “are the seed of future businesses“because there are companies with 5,000 employees “which do not come from nowhere, they have their origin, sometimes from an independent person, from an idea.”

“Today, Andalusia creates more jobs in general than the rest of the communities. 3.6 million jobs. We have reduced unemployment for 55 consecutive months. All this would not be possible without you, the self-employed,” Moreno said.

Corruption

Regarding the latest corruption scandals affecting the Central Executive, Moreno indicated that the situation of the Sánchez government is “complicated” since it does not have a political or social majority.

Furthermore, “the central government is caught in a tangle of alleged corruption and complicated internal situations.

However, “we all know that Sánchez is a survivor and that he will watch over him and only him. If he wants to save himself, he must lead his party towards a slow, hard agony, that will do it, as in Extremadura, which placed a candidate who is not the best, but who preferred to sacrifice the PSOE of Extremadura to his interests.”

For Moreno, “it is time for the leaders of the PSOE to begin to realize that they have a problem called Pedro Sanchez“.
