Vox clarifies to Pérez Llorca: What was approved is “a little more than the rootedness that the PP insists on”

The spokesperson for the Vox parliamentary group in the Valencian Parliament, José María Llanos, emphasized this Thursday his party’s satisfaction with the first budgets that include national priority. The leader even clarified the statements made yesterday, at the end of the plenary session, by the Valencian president, Juanfran Pérez Llorca, who spoke of ‘roots’ instead of the concept defended by Vox. The head of the Consell pointed out that what the accounts do is “give that priority to those people who have been registered in a municipality for longer,” while adding: “They do not distinguish between skin color, they do not distinguish between immigrants and people born here. Of course not, I would never tolerate it.”

The battle is on. On one side, the defenders of a green economy, who warn that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the fierce heat wave that has caused at least 12,000 additional deaths in Europe are a reminder of the climate crisis. On the other, the pressures from industry, which is already suffering the consequences of Chinese competition and US tariffs, and is calling for cheaper energy costs.

Oil: the worst may be yet to come

Someone was inhaling butane. Energy experts had long been warning that the war in Iran was causing the biggest oil supply shock in history. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz took 14 million barrels per day of crude off the market. To destroy so much demand, they said, the price of Brent should be more than double the pre-war level, sitting well above $150 per barrel. However, oil market operators seemed drowsy. Until April 17, prices were below $90 per barrel. In the last week, amid rumors of a worsening of the fighting, they have started to react. On April 30, prices exceeded $125.

The first time a politician was convicted of influence peddling in Spain was 31 years ago. The historic socialist mayor of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Juan Ignacio Pujana, was sentenced to six years of disqualification, one month of arrest, and a fine. The Barcelona Court considered that he had facilitated an award for the construction and concession of several underground parking lots to a company that in turn had to subcontract the work to a construction company owned by a friend of his. The judges coined the term “chain influence peddling.” The mayor, using his position, pressured municipal technicians and officials. He did so, initially, out of friendship, since the sentence considered that he did not receive money in return, and he was acquitted of the charges of bribery and forgery. Evidently, Pujana disappeared from the public radar. Since then, it has been clear that the crime of influence peddling is one of the most difficult to discern, since it is necessary to prove pressure on an official or public officer and also to have the authority to carry out that coercion. Politicians who are already former, that is, who have left their positions in governments, often maintain a significant capacity for influence in those administrations, so they are often recruited by consultancies and companies to open the doors of the public sector for them.
