Oviedo (EFE).- The acting president of the Principality, Adrián Barbón, insisted this Monday on the need to maintain “discretion” in the open negotiations to determine the structure of his future government “which is how these things work best” and has stressed that “sitting with IU is the main thing.”
While waiting for the date for the investiture plenary session to be set, Barbón expressed himself in this way after the deputy of Podemos Covadonga Tomé pointed out today that there is still no progress in the talks with the PSOE and said she was astonished that they were not He sits down to talk “with the people who are going to have to support him or not in the investiture.”
Barbón has practically guaranteed re-election with his 19 seats and the 3 of IU, which guaranteed his vote without counterparties to stop a possible Executive of the PP.
This possibility could occur if the popular Diego Canga, who has announced that he will be running for the investiture, achieved the 21 votes that PP and Vox add up to and the rest of the groups opted for abstention, the only alternative contemplated in the Regulations of the Asturian Chamber in the election of president along with support for one of the candidates.
The only Forum deputy has already ruled out the possibility of supporting both the investiture of Barbón and La Canga, a vote that, like Tomé’s, would allow the PSOE, together with its “preferred partner”, IU, to have an absolute majority and that Barbón was chosen in the first round.
IU asks to enter economic management
For its part, the coalition has requested that in its negotiations with the PSOE there be no areas off-limits to discussion and also calls for its entry into areas of economic and industrial management of the Government and to reorient the war against the bureaucracy to tackle the war that affects the citizenship and will submit any agreement to the vote of its militancy.
Barbón made these statements during the presentation of the restoration of the Fernando Valdés Salas mausoleum, in the Collegiate Church of Santa María la Mayor, in Salas, where he stressed the importance of enhancing the cultural heritage of Asturias “in many cases unknown ”.
In this sense, he highlighted the work carried out by the Valdés Salas Foundation in collaboration with the University of Oviedo to bring this “first order” heritage closer to the rural environment “and that it is not something alien to it”.
Thus, it has influenced the need to value Asturian tradition and culture, including in the case of personalities from its history such as the politician and ecclesiastical Fernando Valdés Salas (1483-1568) -inquisitor general, president of the Royal Council of Castilla and promoter of the University of Oviedo-, a figure “multifaceted and admits of nuances” but who had great importance in the political, ecclesiastical and university spheres.
