Valladolid (EFE) to those aspects of the pact in which there are still differences: historical memory regulations and the law on intrafamily violence.
In statements to EFE, the spokesman for the Popular Group in the Cortes, Raúl de la Hoz, and the general secretary of the Vox Parliamentary Group, David Hierro, have agreed that they are satisfied with the progress achieved through a government that the The first sees it as “useful and effective” and that the second applauds his “good work, along the lines of not exchanging some chairs for others but rather of some policies for others”.
De la Hoz has recognized that it is not a “very detailed” agreement, but it supposes a “general orientation” that has as objectives “achieved” the improvement of public services, support for the productive fabric and commitment to the rural environment .
The representative of the PP has assumed that “it has not been easy” this year because the Government has been “torpedoed from abroad” and has had the “handicap of Vox’s inexperience in government”, but has assured that this has been compensated by the “will to cooperate and agree” and “objectives have been achieved”.
For his part, the representative of Vox has expressed that they are “happy” with the degree of compliance with the pact because “it is working well and in line with not changing some armchairs for others, but some policies for others”, with a ” change of course” which, as with “big ships”, takes time from the time the turn begins until the ship is “at the coordinates”.
“You can turn the rudder to the maximum, which is never allowed, especially when you are in a coalition, you have to negotiate with your partner, but when that ship starts to turn, from when it starts to turn to where it ends, it takes time” , has compared.
Historical memory
On the point of the agreement that refers to the repeal of the current Autonomous Decree of Historical and Democratic Memory, still not materialized despite having started its processing last summer, the PP has considered this issue as “secondary” at a time like the present , where he believes that it is necessary to focus on matters such as the containment of inflation, among other problems.
“We must focus on what is important, on making the daily life of citizens more bearable”, De la Hoz summarized, convinced that “other aspects” such as those related to historical memory will be “fulfilled” but are “secondary”. at the moment. “The Board continues to make progress,” he added.
In the case of the Vox representative, he has recognized that “when the positions are so far apart or there is a certain distance in those positions, finding a common point is complicated and requires more time”, but he has taken compliance for granted.
domestic violence
Another of the points that were included in the pact and that remain pending compliance is the approval of a law on domestic violence.
In this regard, De la Hoz has defended that so far in the legislature “important advances in equality” have been approved, beyond the approval of a rule on domestic violence that the PP had in its electoral program and that “will not be incompatible ” with the fight against gender violence.
For his part, David Hierro has referred to the fact that the agreement will be “complied with in its entirety” and that issues like this “will be filed down” within the regional government by the representatives of both parties. “I know that work is being done and progress is being made,” he added.
