Valencia, Feb 16 (EFE) given in this matter for the Community have been “insufficient” and added that the Tagus-Segura transfer is “unavoidable” always with “environmental respect”.
This is how Puig considered it during his speech at the closing of the Municipal Conference that the PSOE is holding in Valencia since this Saturday, where he referred to “structural problems” of the Community on which, he added, Valencian socialism “never goes to stop showing your face”.
“We have to go one step further”
Among these, he has underlined the need to reform regional financing: “The president and I have a long conversation on this issue and I have always seen him sensitive, but it is true that a more decisive step must be taken.”
Thus, although it has considered that it is “insufficient” and that the lack of financing leads, for the Community, to “enormous problems”. For this reason, he added, “you cannot begin to discuss without telling the truth”: “And the truth is that we have managed to converge on spending.”

On water, he referred to the situation of irrigation in Doñana, and stressed that in Valencian territory “it has been shown that another path is also possible” with l’Albufera.
Likewise, he stressed that, despite the “dire consequences” of climate change, “there is hope that the Valencian and Murcia orchards can continue forever” with the modernization of irrigation, desalination “at an adequate price” and the water reuse.
“Also to the extent possible and always respecting the environment, the Tajo-Segura transfer is essential”, highlighted Ximo Puig, who added that “the least transfer there has been has been with Rajoy” and has asked the PP to stop “taking people for idiots”.
In his speech, he also referred to the socialist candidates from the towns and cities of Spain “who will come out bare-chested to show their faces to defend their neighbors” during the campaign and thanked them for their work.
And he has considered that those who “show their faces” in small towns “have it more difficult” because “the caciquismo changes its face but continues to exist.” “Some change parties every week but they are the same, those who do not want society as a whole to advance,” he added.
The president has thanked the work of the townspeople during the pandemic and has assured that “here there was never any doubt about what we should be looking at, which was to save lives above any beer, any beer, any exit” .

Raise the “reputational mortgage”
The head of the Consell also thanked the PSOE for having chosen Valencia for this act, which he considered a recognition of the joint work “to lift the reputational mortgage, change the paradigm, disassociate it forever from corruption, waste and decadence”.
“Eight years ago, many people asked us what was happening in Valencia, and what was happening is that those who had governance in their hands had it for their own benefit and not for Valencian society, but it was not a problem for the Valencians, it was a problem of the PP”, he has defended.
In this sense, he has criticized the “multitude of permanent lies with which the PP invades the atmosphere”, which he has equated to space garbage “about which the Minister of Science, Diana Morant, is concerned”.
