The convening of regional elections in Aragon for February 8 once again triggered alarm yesterday in Castile and León in the face of a possible electoral progress in this Community, even if it would be minimal, to make the two appointments coincide. for that … If this happens, the President of the Council should dissolve the Cortes next Monday and proceed with the corresponding convocation. But nothing could be further from the truth, as Alfonso Fernández Mañueco himself said this Friday.
“I’ve been saying for four years that I’m going exhaust the legislature, I will call in March, whether it is a Sunday or another”, he clarified. In this way, that in that month the inhabitants of Castile and Leon will go to the polls, it already seems immutable, another thing is different because if until now Sunday 15 had been considered a more than probable date, yesterday Mañueco introduced the variable “one Sunday or another.”
In any case, if it is not the 15th, the other option, which is gaining more and more strength, is that of the 1st, given that the 8th is totally excluded since it is International Women’s Day, a day capitalized especially by left-wing groups. It is precisely this celebration that has raised doubts that the elections will take place on the 15th, given that all the events of the 8M would take place in the middle of the electoral campaign.
From there, the President of the Council insisted on the fact that “we are moving towards a government alone and with a sufficient majority”, so that, at least initially, he wants nothing to do with the pacts with Vox, a formation which, according to polls, he will need to form a government. In any case, he clarified that “we also have the capacity to dialogue with political forces within the framework of our values”.
Mañueco made these statements during the interview he had with the former president of the government, Jose Maria Aznar, who presented his new book ‘Orden y Libertad’ in Valladolid, within the framework of ‘Diálogos El Norte de Castilla’, in which the Caja Rural de Zamora collaborates. In this scenario, the head of the Regional Executive rejected the claims of the Leonese supporters to form their own autonomy because “at the moment Spain not for territorial adventures nor so that in Castilla y León we generate a problem of territorial identity.
During the meeting, moderated by the director of El Norte, Ángel Ortiz, José María Aznar also referred to the next electoral vote in the Castilian and Leonese lands to emphasize that “Mañueco is going to put the circumstances in favor of Castilla y León” with a nomination that is “determining for the future of Spain”. Here it was first León, then Castilla and then Castilla y León but always Spain”, he declared, because “this historical value, the existential value of Castill“It’s more important than ever.”
Constitution and Crown
Aznar spoke, among other things, about the general elections for which, at the moment, there is no advance and which will therefore not happen until 2027. “The election will take place between a group of republics that are breaking the Spanish nation and seeking disappearance of the Constitution and the Crown”. The other option, he stressed, is “a large national majority around the PP which can turn around the course of Spain thanks to the law and good political practices”.
Concerning Vox, he noted that “its sole objective is to replace the PP; “There is no objective of the government, nor of the country, but only that of replacing the constitutional force alone and this is a very serious irresponsibility.” “Whoever can do it, let him do it,” he declared, to try to obtain a “responsible” citizen majority who assume the defense of the constitutional system.” “Now is not the time for cowards,” he concluded.
