Oviedo (EFE).- The deputy secretary of Territorial Organization of the PP, Miguel Tellado, has guaranteed today that the PP will present itself only with those acronyms in Asturias and the rest of the national territory in the electoral appointment of May 28, but that it will be the candidate of the popular to the Presidency of the Principality, Diego Canga, the only one who decides on possible pacts with Foro.
Telledo has traveled to Oviedo today to meet with Canga and participate in the scheduled meetings of the committee of mayors and the regional committee of the Asturian PP, the first of a series of visits by national leaders to the region in view of the upcoming regional and municipal elections .
“The policy of pacts has to be decided in Asturias by Mr. Canga and nobody is going to tell him what he has to do,” said the popular leader, who has made it clear that the PP is going to present itself with its own acronym and that the The only coalition that they contemplate “is with the Asturians” so that they can count on a “serious and solvent” government.
The aspiration of the PP, he added, is to “govern alone” and obtain the support of a large social majority that supports a great project, not to save the furniture in an election in which “Genoa is not going to decide” a policy of pacts that will depend on Canga.
Tellado has insisted that the Asturian candidate “has full autonomy to make the decisions he deems appropriate” and that he would like the president of the Principality, Adrián Barbón, to be able to say the same.
urgent alternative
In his opinion, Asturias “urgently needs an alternative” after socialist policies have made it the community that has grown the least in the country in the last two decades and that Barbón is going to leave as a “greatest inheritance” the largest growth in unemployment in the country during 2022, an “excessive fiscal pressure” and “real problems in executing the budget”.
For the deputy secretary of Organization of the PP, it is a “real drama and there is no point in crunching taxes on Asturians so as not to later be able to manage the accounts with the proceeds”, something that, in his opinion, will not happen if Canga arrives to the presidency, since he has “management capacity to spare” in the European Commission.
For Tellado, Canga should not be a bad candidate when a socialist president such as Javier Fernández awarded him the Silver Medal of Asturias and when the polls show a “continuous upward trend over time” in the intention of Asturians to vote for the People’s Party.
“We believe that there is a drive for change that runs through all of Spain and also Asturias, for which we believe that we can win,” said Tellado, who has insisted that they have already learned the lesson that, if the center-right vote is divide, the left wins and that there is a tendency in the electorate to concentrate the vote on the PP.
Canga, for his part, has expressed satisfaction with the first of a series of visits by national leaders of the PP to Asturias to support his candidacy and has assured that the party adds to him, while “Barbón has to come the sanchismo».
In these elections, he added, there will not be a confrontation of Canga against Barbón, “if not against Barbón plus, because he wants to establish sanchismo in Asturias with a coalition between the PSOE, IU and Podemos”,
“I am going to work hard so that this does not happen,” stressed the popular candidate. EFE
