Zaragoza (EFE).- The PP and Aragoneses have signed a programmatic and “long-term” political agreement that seeks to “add and widen” a “unique center-right and Aragonese” space as an alternative to the autonomous government of Javier Lambán and that of Pedro Sanchez. For this reason, they will join the regional and local lists of the popular as independent members of the recently created split-off platform of the PAR.
The president of PP Aragón, Jorge Azcón, and the president of Aragoneses, Elena Allué, have defended this agreement that confronts, they have said, with the “erratic politics” represented by both the government of Javier Lambán and that of Pedro Sánchez. The two, they have said, are more interested in “maintaining the chair” than in defending the general interest, and to avoid the “deterioration” of the Aragonese institutions.
Other political circumstances
An agreement, which Allué has defended, comes at a time that “has nothing to do” with the “political circumstances” that gave rise to the quadripartite that governs Aragon and of which it was a part, by the PAR, until it was terminated by the current vice president of the government and then party president, Arturo Aliaga. Allué faced Aliaga as an alternative candidate in the XV Congress of the same that has culminated in the creation of the Aragoneses platform.
Allué has defended that the problem of the quadripartite agreement is “its non-development” and the “irrelevance” of the PAR within it. This led him to present a “clean and transparent” alternative to the Congress of his party, “which he won and to which the judge has agreed.” That is why “there is no more turncoat than abandoning your ideology” and currently the PP is “the only party that can make the change.”
She is also “convinced” that the agreed programmatic principles, “essential” for her new party, “will be carried out” because this agreement is based “on absolute loyalty”, the commitment and the certainty that Jorge Azcón and the PP, who have “their absolute confidence”, has assumed the ideas of Aragoneses, has deepened.
Strengthen Aragoneseism defending Spain
It is about “strengthening Aragoneseism by defending Spain”, in the words of Azcón, with a “liberal, constitutionalist and reformist center” project. He has invited all the “historical” Aragoneseism and not “subject” of Lambán to join him before a May 28 in which the Aragonese citizenship will have to choose between “change or continuity, between Azcón or Lambán”, he said he.
An idea, that of “instilling Aragoneseism into the institutions” and being a “loyal, strong and far from extremism” alternative, in which Allué has influenced.
The people who join the platform will do so as independents and the agreement will be taken to “all possible municipalities”, based on a “unique” electoral program in which the PP “assumes the principles and ideas of central Aragoneseism”.
An Aragoneseism of the center based on the development of the Statute of Autonomy of Aragon of 2007 and the implementation of the Bilateral Commission, new transfers of powers and the second block of transfers to the regions as an instrument to fight against depopulation. Also in the delegation of the councils to the regions of the works and services plans or the creation of the Aragon history academy and the use of natural resources in the territory, according to Allué.
The PAR, a “broken” party
Both Azcón and Allué have defended themselves against criticism of turncoats by stating that the former is a “transparent” agreement that seeks to “change Lambán” while that “broken” party only wants to “continue to be his subject and keep the seats.”
While the former member of said party has delved into the fact that, with the PAR crisis triggered by the XV congress, they were “forced to leave” and, from there, to create “a new one, without ballasts, that respects fair play and sign an agreement.
They have not revealed this Tuesday the “valuable” incorporations of Aragonese as independents to the PP lists, which will be communicated “in due course”, according to Azcón, who has said that the logo with which they will run for the May 28 elections will be “the one from the PP”.
