The president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, has clearly distanced himself from the national policy that is designed from Madrid and that he considers “frontist” and “insane”. In an informative breakfast marked by the pre-election context, Page has declared himself “autonomous”, even from his own party, and has assured: “I do not have a boss.”
The Castilian politician from La Mancha has assumed that in this campaign there will be “a lot of dirt” and “a lot of camouflage operation” and has asked the citizens of his community “not to make mistakes” when voting. “We would be fooling people if the region’s economy and politics depended on national politics, which is crazy.”
“The same thing happens to Paco Núñez [the PP candidate for the Board] and to me: his name is Paco Núñez and his boss is Núñez Feijóo, and my last name is García-Page Sánchez and the President of the Government is called Pedro Sánchez. The We both share the last name with the one above, but neither is he Alberto nor am I Pedro. This is important for people to know.”
In his opinion, the country “deserves to enter a field of predictability and tranquility” because “the strategy of making yours very angry at the expense of the anger of those in front, does not lead to anything.” “You should not govern against someone,” she has sentenced.
García-Page has not hesitated to attack the Catalan president, Pere Aragonés, who has announced the creation of a group of experts in charge of preparing the arguments to defend a new independence process with the holding of a referendum. “If Aragonés goes back to his old ways looking for a referendum, I will be the first to appeal to the Constitutional Court. There is no possibility of an agreement because that goes against the Constitution,” he stated. And he added: “Whatever there are concessions to the independence movement is a consequence of the frontism that exists in Madrid.”
Page has admitted that the “speech from Madrid” is now “more tolerant” with the independence movement and has pointed out that this is “fine” to the extent that it causes division among the secessionist forces themselves, but has warned: “You have to be Be careful because that tolerance can’t go any further”.
The Castilian La Mancha president, in his speech, has defined the characteristics that, in his opinion, a political leader should have and that he has claimed to demand of himself: “You have to be autonomous, with respect to whoever is in Madrid, be it from the PP or the PSOE; we must defend the Constitution because we are part of the State; we must have a vocation because politics is not a profession and, furthermore, and we must be extremely moderate, listen and try to reach agreements”. To all this he has added “distrust of extremes.” “This country”, he has apostilled him, “requires moderation and to defend it permanently”.
Regarding the political context that arises with an eye on the next general elections, García-Page, expressly referring to the possibility that the PSOE will have to rely on a pact with Sumar to be able to govern, has insisted that “each party must aspire to win with their merits, not relying on the merits of another or on the demerits of the opponent”. In his opinion, that’s “pathetic.” “You have to show up to pull the bandwagon, not to get on the bandwagon. The citizens are tired of tactics and sudokus. People are asking the PSOE and the PP to take charge of the country.”
