The votes of the deputies who support the Government of the Principality, PSOE and Convocatoria por Asturies IU-Más País-IAS, together with that of the parliamentary member of the Mixed Group, Covadonga Tomé, have made it possible this Friday to reject the non-legislative motion submitted by Vox to promote administrative simplification processes. The initiative did have the support of the PP and of the general secretary of Foro Asturias and deputy of the Mixed Group, Adrián Pumares, but the sum of supporting votes was insufficient for it to move forward.
Vox parliamentarian Javier Jové defended the proposal in the plenary session, arguing that Asturias has turned into a “bureaucratic hell” and that it is essential to adopt concrete measures. For his part, Socialist deputy Ricardo Fernández replied that the regional executive has been advancing for some time on the simplification of procedures and that his intention is to continue along that line.
In the same plenary session this Friday, with the same distribution of votes, two non-legislative motions registered by the PP were also rejected. The first called for the revocation of all declarations of residential stressed market zones. The second focused on the comprehensive rehabilitation of the western A-8, including the deteriorated sections of Cudillero, Valdés, Navia, Coaña, El Franco, Tapia de Casariego, Castropol and the rest of the affected corridor.
