The president of the Junta de Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco (PP), assured this Friday that the balance of the last four years of the central Government translates into a "failed" legislature for the vast majority of Spaniards, with a result of "zero or nothing," and emphasized the urgency of having a new Executive that supports the Community.
"We have all been able to verify it," he stressed, insisting that it is essential "to lend a hand" to territories like Castilla y León, which make a notable effort in terms of investments, infrastructures, and industrial land. "But we need the support of the Government of Spain to help us settle companies here," he reiterated, demanding greater involvement from the State.
In this line, he expressed his support for Alberto Núñez Feijóo as a candidate to lead the central Executive and, looking ahead to the elections on November 29, he highlighted the importance of citizens carefully evaluating what model of economic policy they want for the immediate future.
Thus, he encouraged voters to choose between "what exists right now" or a way of governing similar to that applied in communities where the PP governs, such as Galicia or Castilla y León, which, he argued, are "an example of effective management." "That is what people have to decide now. Do we continue in the noise or do we want results and effectiveness?" he added, contrasting confrontation and effectiveness.
In his opinion, Spain needs State parties and Statesmen with leadership capacity, who know how to act "the day after" in case of a change in Government and are prepared to make the necessary decisions from the very first moment.
Fernández Mañueco made these statements at the 'Foro Ancares. The challenges of the Northwest,' a meeting in which he participated alongside the president of the Xunta de Galicia, Alfonso Rueda. The initiative, organized by the newspapers Diario de León and El Progreso de Lugo, is aimed at deepening the socioeconomic challenges shared by both autonomous communities of the northwest peninsula.
