Chairman of the Andalusian Military Council, Juanma Morenowas one of the few regional leaders who attended the congressional reception on Saturday to mark the 47th anniversary of the Constitution. More than two-thirds of the presidents were absent … Only Juanma Moreno and Isabel Díaz-Ayuso, from the Community of Madrid, attended the conference; Fernando Lopez Miras, from Murcia; Jorge Azcon, from Aragon; Juanfran Pérez Jurca, recently appointed to the Valencian Community; and the autonomous city of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas.
He wanted the highest representatives of the autonomous region congratulations Upon his arrival in the Spanish capital, he stressed that “all Andalusians and Spaniards are on such a special day” because the Constitution is our basic standard, which has guaranteed nearly 50 years of peaceful coexistence, progress and prosperity. “It’s a rule we all must abide by.”
“If it were not for the Constitution, we would be in chaos,” he insists. Therefore, “the existence of order, rules, and the ability to work in coexistence is what guarantees us our constitution, approved by millions of Spaniards in 1978,” he recalls. “It’s a basic rule coexistence and “We have to defend him.”
Political polarization
but, There is a certain amount of growing discontent regarding the Magna Carta. At least half of the voters of the Socialist Workers’ Party, and supporters of the rest of the political parties except the People’s Party, believe it should be reformed, or even abolished. “We are witnessing a moment of political polarization that to me seems terrible for the social and political situation in Spain,” Moreno says. “They decided, on the one hand, Sánchez, and on the other hand, the various political groups that politics would lead to division, that division into confrontation, and that confrontation into a rise in tone.”
The Spanish Constitution is the basic rule that we must all adhere to and that guarantees progress and prosperity.
Raising the tone and polarization does not serve coexistence in any way.

Regardless of the fight and battle, “it does nothing to promote coexistence and our progress,” he said. “So I ask and claim it The environment that existed during the transitional period “Before our Constitution of ’78. We have a Constitution that has given us almost 50 years of peaceful coexistence, thanks to the fact that people with different ideas respect each other, sit at the table and agree.”
The Andalusian president does not hide that “everything can be improved” regarding the possibility of reform, “but the constitutionalists themselves have already given a guarantee: that the two main political formations must agree.” So the Constitution, if it must be reformed,This must be done from a majority and consensus perspectiveThis is not happening now.
He is very clear about which part of the Constitution he would correct if the majority parties agreed to this change. “Above all, the government model must be reformed,” he says. “The national government cannot rely on parties that represent only one region, and not the whole of Spain. “It cannot be subject to constant blackmail by nationalist parties,” he says. He added, “I think there is a need for an amendment there, but we are very far from this reform because there is no environment, no consensus, and no possibility of reaching an agreement between two major political forces.”
The absence of Salvador Illa
Among the main absentees from the meeting was the Catalan President, salvador ella, Who last year bucked the trend of his predecessors and attended the conference event after 15 years without Catalan institutional representation.
But he was not present on this occasion, since he has an extensive agenda in Catalonia to monitor the situation of African swine fever in this region. It should be noted that Ella began a tour in Mexico last Friday and did not stop it despite learning of the first cases of African swine fever, but rather monitored it electronically. This was met with strong criticism by the opposition, which he met face-to-face yesterday during the monitoring session in Parliament.
