Juanma Moreno, president of the Government of Andalusiahas shown this Friday his discomfort with the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchezfor him Catalan quotadue to the “lack of control” in the immigration policy and for the underfunding that the Andalusian community has suffered for years. He did so in the meeting held with Sanchez in it Moncloa Palacewhere they have been for approximately an hour and a half “without there being any specific commitment for Andalusia”, as he lamented Dark.
«I leave this meeting without there being any specific commitment for Andalusia. “I cannot convey to public opinion any type of specificity or any type of commitment, because obviously there has not been one on the part of the President of the Government,” Moreno began by arguing after the meeting held with Sanchezto whom he reminded that “it has been 785 days since the last conference of presidents took place. Since then, we have not had any multilateral meeting between the President of the Government and the different autonomous communities and with Ceuta and Melilla.
Catalan quota
«Of the topics we have discussed, I want to start with the main one for me. The first request we have had today is to ask the President of the Government to withdraw the unique financing for Catalonia, that Catalan quota that has been put on the table as a result of the negotiation with CKD for the investiture of Salvador Illa as president of the Generalitat of Catalonia“said Moreno, who believes that “this Catalan quota weakens Spain.” «Andalusia is clearly defeated if this financing model finally sees the light. Andalusia would lose around 6 billion and the whole system close to 32,000 million euros. Therefore, I have informed the president that it is a mistake,” explained the Andalusian president.
«I want the best for Catalonia. If there is a community that has strong ties with Catalonia is Andalusia. I myself was born in Barcelona. It is a community that we love and respect. But the best future for Catalonia is not built only by taking into account the Catalonia that represents the independence movement, but with all Catalans,” Moreno said.
«Andalusia has the obligation to stand in defense of equity and equality among all Spaniards. And that is something that unfortunately has been deteriorating in recent years with the different decisions that the government has been making. Government of Spain», continued a Dark who has assured that “if the Catalan quota is not withdrawn, Andalusia “He will use all the instruments at his disposal to make him withdraw.”
Financing and immigration
«We have a problem in the autonomous communities. The Constitution and the statutes tell us that we have to provide a series of services. Services that have become more expensive as a result of the aging of the population, such as healththe dependencethe education…And we have to face new challenges with funding that is increasingly dwindling and that does not respond to those needs,” Moreno stated.
«I have conveyed my concern about migration. I have asked the President of the Government that there must be maximum coordination and maximum transparency. It cannot be that migrants arrive in an autonomous community and we do not have any type of knowledge or information. We found out through the media,” explained the also leader of the Andalusian PP (PP-A).
«The autonomous communities have to provide health reinforcement equipment for those migrants who arrive. And sometimes we cannot prepare it because no one has informed us,” he expressed. Darkwho has asked Sánchez for “economic cooperation.” “We are assuming beyond our possibilities and our resources how thousands of migrants arrive in our communities and we have to welcome them without the economic capacity to do so,” he explained.
For this reason, the Andalusian president has asked Sanchez «more effort in border control for the irregular immigration». “Immigration has to be regulated, not uncontrolled,” he explained.
Document delivered
Document delivered by Juanma Moreno to Pedro Sánchez.
Juanma Moreno took advantage of the meeting to deliver to Pedro Sánchez a new document with 100 claims, many of them already included in the files she delivered to the President of the Government on the two previous occasions in which they met in The Moncloain June 2021 and July 2022, and which are still pending.
Dark In the meeting with Sánchez, he insisted on the urgent need to provide communities with sufficient economic resources to pay for essential public services and do so with equity and transparency. This forces us to withdraw the Catalan quota and return to the path of multilaterality in the Conference of Presidents and Fiscal and Financial Policy Councilsince Moreno considers that these types of meetings are not the appropriate forum to agree on regional financing. “What belongs to everyone cannot be shared at a table of two,” they explain to OKDIARIO Andalusia sources close to Juanma Moreno.
In addition, he hopes to receive some positive news about investments in Andalusia in matters of state jurisdiction such as railwayof roads, energy or of watersareas in which the State has many pending issues in our autonomous community. Finally, the Andalusian president has offered Sánchez first-hand concrete and correct data on health, educational classroomsinvestment in early childhood educationpolicy taxes and execution of European fundsafter confirming through recent statements by Sánchez himself and other members of his Government that in Moncloa information that is, let’s say inaccurate, is handled.
