Juanma Moreno harbors few doubts and seems to bet on governing “alone” despite having lost the absolute majority in the Andalusian regional elections. The president of the Junta de Andalucía and PP candidate for re-election lost five seats and was two short of the absolute majority, a result he considers “sufficiently decisive” to avoid having to incorporate Vox into the government.
María Jesús Montero, until a few weeks ago vice president of the Government, will resign her seat as a deputy in the Congress and will take her seat in the Andalusian parliament when it is constituted.
In these Andalusian elections held yesterday, everyone defied their expectations. Juanma Moreno’s was to maintain the absolute majority and repeat the mathematical miracle of 2022; Montero’s was to exceed the thirty deputies from four years ago. Neither of the two has been fulfilled.
“I am wearing a kufiya that I have borrowed from the Palestinian people so I don’t burn my head because after chemo I have lost my hair, dear undocumented sir. Kisses.” This is how the former Andalusian parliamentarian and Adelante Andalucía candidate in 2022 for the presidency of the Junta, Teresa Rodríguez, responded to a derogatory tweet, now deleted, during the Andalusian election day.
Singing the song of his own campaign has cost Moreno the absolute majority. If Zeus granted victory to the moderates, as Aeschylus warned, the Great Laurel – an absolute majority and two relative ones – has not managed to make the Andalusians grant him the benefits again of…
The PP has lost the absolute majority and will need Vox to govern in Andalusia. The story already experienced previously in Extremadura, Aragon, and Castilla y León is repeating itself. The Populars are chained to Santiago Abascal’s party for better or worse. On a scale…
The Andalusian path of President Juanma Moreno has also not served for the Popular Party to get rid of its greatest adversary and its only ally, Vox.
“The civil guards are very persistent, also when searching for victims. Hope is the last thing to go,” says the highest-ranking officer of the Civil Guard in the Valencian Community, General José Antonio Fernández de Luz. In an interview with the EFE Agency, Fernández de Luz responds this way when asked about the search efforts for two of the 230 fatalities of the dana, including a guard from the Paiporta post and the wife of another agent. “At least every 15 days we set up a search operation to look again where we have already been or in areas that experts in the field may indicate to us,” he adds about the search, almost 19 months after the dana, for the bodies of Elisabeth and Francisco, two of the flood victims.
The PSPV-PSOE spokesperson in the Valencian Corts, José Muñoz, has denounced that the president of the Generalitat, Pérez Llorca, “has hidden” from the Valencian people that the Government of Pedro Sánchez approved in February an advance of 200 million euros on account of the settlement of the financing system to help him pay the bills for health, education, and social services. The information, explains the PSPV, comes after reviewing the official documentation sent by the Ministry of Finance to the socialist group in the Corts, and the Finance resolution to the request of the regional government stipulates that the advance granted “will be canceled when the payment of the settlement of the financing system corresponding to 2024 is made.”
