Page warns of a "knife's edge" legislature supported by Puigdemont
In an interview in Castilla-La Mancha Media, García-Page lamented that the governorship “depends on a fugitive from Justice, on something that can really decide in the State without giving up ending the State, it is sad in general terms”.
Although he says he does not know what is going through Pedro Sánchez's head, he has pointed out that the PP “has married Vox much more than Feijóo wanted”, something that in the end has made Vox become “a black beast in Spanish politics and a perfect alibi to try to whitewash other types of extremism”. García-Page, who claims to “hate all extremes”, defends “common sense” as “the most reasonable thing” before a legislature that “without a doubt, if it opens up, if there is an investiture”, will be the “most vertiginous and roller coaster” of which he has lived.
Faced with “many unknowns”, he assures that he does not know what will be the approaches on which an agreement can be reached with the independentistas of Junts since the right “does not add up”. All in all, he believes that “the logic that there will not be a second election will prevail”, but in Spain “the people have spoken” and even so they do not dare to “label” the result of the general elections. “It gives the impression that nobody has won”. “Sovereignty has been expressed but the message is not clear. The citizen does not fully understand what is being said”, has indicated.
Regarding the negotiations to form the Board of the Congress of Deputies, he hopes that it will be “a reflection of the majority and the plurality” of Parliament, but the Presidency must not be symbolic, since it is “the third authority of the State”. After regretting the resignation of Meritxell Batet to revalidate the Presidency, he assures that the PSOE must already have an alternative candidate, “as the PP will have on its side”. I understand that whoever wants to question it is not in a position to be the third authority”, has settled.
regional financing
Entering into the debate on regional financing, he has defended that it will have to be negotiated “multilaterally” with all the participants, and it must be clarified if “there will be one or several tables” to discuss this point. “The table has to be common with the singularities that are established, if not, it would break the principle of financial sufficiency,” he added, admitting that there are regions that are committed to population being a determining factor, while Castilla-La Mancha wants that take into account where this population is located and what it costs to bring them closer to basic services. The financial model “must reflect the sufficiency in the guarantee of the provision of basic State services”, according to the Castilian-Manchego president, who asks for this “to think of citizens, not of territory”.
