On Saturday in Burgos, the head of the Popular Party, Alberto Nuñez Viejo, referred to the upcoming regional elections scheduled for March 15 with a frank statement about their results: “A stable government for the Popular Party or a siege of Castile and León. … There is nothing more, I have lived it in recent years..
These are the words he said in the capital, Burgos, during the closing of the Second Major Cities Forum, which was held over the past two days. “Either a strong and stable government, like that of Juan Vicente Herrera, or a blockade.”insisted Figo, for whom “Alfonso Fernández Manico has managed to navigate the most turbulent waters of regional politics in practically its entire history.” He added, “He was able to reach the port despite all the difficulties and obstacles that were placed in front of his wheels.” He joked that “it’s weird for me to criticize Sanchez and for Sanchez and Fox to criticize me.”
The head of the People’s Party, who admitted that he “learned his lesson well” for his intervention, defended Council draft budget 2026 Which the opposition dropped in the regional courts last week: “I have seen the budget of Castilla León rise by 8%, record an increase in real investment by 20%, integrate a hospital in Aranda de Duero without stopping investment in the hospital in Burgos…” all to conclude that “we have seen that they are blocked”.
At this point, he pointed to the direct Madrid-Aranda-Burgos train to indicate that its reopening “must be open”, although in this case the only body that can make this possible is the ministry. As for Figo, who warned that “woe to those who oppose him,” This train is necessary “to continue production and for companies to be able to compete.”So that goods and industrial products could flow from the south, from Algeciras to the north, not from Burgos, not from Castile and León, but also from all parts of Spain.”
“This is not a local decision, not a regional project, and not even an independent project. “It is the backbone of the country,” he concluded.
