The Secretary of Organization of the Asturian Socialist Federation (FSA)-PSOE, Luis Ramón Fernández Huerga, stated this Saturday that the idea of Asturias that, according to him, is shared by the president of the Asturian PP, Álvaro Queipo, and the president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, would mean "a true nightmare" for the Asturian citizens. With these statements, he responded to the speeches that both popular leaders delivered this Friday in Llanes, where they coincided at a party event.
In his intervention, Huerga emphasized that "one only has to remember that the president of the Andalusians is also the president of the messes, the one who renounced moderation and the one who accepted without complaint the Vox program to remain in office after the last elections," warning that this is, in his opinion, the political reference that inspires Queipo.
The socialist leader insisted that the model that Queipo would take as a guide for Asturias is clearly defined, and that, "no matter how much he has tried to hide it during the debate on the state of autonomy, his only project is to sign a blank check to the far-right Vox to dismantle, cut back, and privatize the welfare state that has taken years to achieve in our autonomous community."
The Secretary of Organization of the Asturian socialists also emphasized that "during the sessions of the debate in the Asturian parliament, the PP has been dedicated to asking for alternation, because it has no alternative for Asturias," reproaching the popular party for the absence of a solid proposal for the region.
"The clamorous silences during the debate, the lack of concrete proposals, and the lack of response to the questions are now understood," he concluded, linking that attitude to the strategy he attributes to the popular party. Fernández Huerga assured that "what the Asturians already know is that the blank check that Moreno signed to Vox is also the blank check that Queipo would be willing to sign in Asturias," warning that a similar eventual agreement in the Principality would put the current welfare state at risk.
