The leader of the PP and candidate for the Presidency of the Government, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has reiterated his commitment to Cantabria to promote balanced regional financing, support the livestock sector, keep the wolf out of the LESPRE, and strengthen the community’s main infrastructures.
In a video released by his party, the 'popular' leader explained that with these initiatives he intends for the region to "start to have the importance it deserves for the Government of Spain."
Feijóo has emphasized his intention to back the work of the Cantabrian president, María José Sáenz de Buruaga, and to ensure that Cantabria has the support of the central Executive in key decisions.
"Cantabria deserves respect and deserves a government that accompanies the great work that President Buruaga is doing. I want to give it to her," he said.
As a line of action, he defended the approval of a fair regional financing system for both Cantabria and the entire country, which would make it possible to continue strengthening essential services such as healthcare, education, and care for dependency.
In addition, he recalled that, when he was president of the Xunta de Galicia, he had already defended Cantabria’s interests on repeated occasions and that, in his view, "there are still pending matters to be resolved."
Feijóo has also reiterated his support for the livestock sector and reaffirmed his promise to keep the wolf off the list of protected species.
Among his priorities, he mentioned the search for solutions for the electro-intensive industry, in order to ensure the region’s electricity supply and "not miss opportunities or strategic projects such as the Altamira Technological Campus."
Along with this, he called for actions he considers "fundamental" to improve communications in Cantabria.
"We have to put an end to the neglect of the key infrastructures of this land, guarantee the arrival of the AVE to Reinosa, and take the train to Bilbao seriously," he added.
Feijóo closed his message with a direct commitment to the autonomous community: "My government will be fully committed to Cantabria. You have my word. Vote for the change necessary," he concluded.
