The president of the Junta de Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, has rejected the option of heading a Ministry and making the leap to state politics in case it were offered to him, insisting that his priority "is with Castilla y León."
"I am not one to be, I am one to do. And I, if I am put in that predicament, will say that my commitment is with Castilla y León. Period," he emphasized when questioned about this hypothesis during the "Foro Ancares. The challenges of the Northwest" held in Ponferrada (León), an event where he shared space with the president of the Xunta de Galicia, Alfonso Rueda.
In this forum, Fernández Mañueco has again supported the candidacy of Alberto Núñez Feijóo to lead the Government of Spain, in contrast to the current Executive, which he has attributed a "failed" legislature for the vast majority of citizens.
Looking ahead to the general elections on November 29, he has emphasized the importance of voters reflecting on what model of economic policy they prefer for the immediate future of the country.
In this line, he has called to choose between "what exists right now" and a type of management like that which, he has pointed out, is developed by communities governed by the PP such as Galicia or Castilla y León, which he considers "an example in effective management." "That is what people have to decide now. Do we continue in the noise or do we want results and efficiency?" he added.
In his opinion, Spain needs state parties and leaders with a state vision, capable of steering the course of the country and prepared to act "the day after" in case there is a change in the central Government.
