The PSOE of Cádiz this Friday issued a resounding no to the option of its Andalusian parliamentarians abstaining to facilitate the investiture of Juanma Moreno (PP) and his minority government, without Vox. This stance solidifies less than 24 hours after the mayor of Chiclana, José María Román, suggested a "conditional" abstention if the PP accepted the new financing system proposed by the central government.
Román had presented this reflection, described as personal, arguing that the 9,000 million euros from Madrid would improve public services, especially healthcare, and that this "conditional" investiture would close the door to Vox's policies. However, this theory is not shared by the leadership of the PSOE of Cádiz, represented by its general secretary, Juan Carlos Ruiz Boix, and the provincial organization secretary, Juan Cornejo.
Ruiz Boix has ended any internal debate, demanding an absolute rejection of the Popular Party's continuation. "We cannot allow under any circumstances, neither actively nor passively, for a government with Moreno Bonilla at the helm to be formed," stated the mayor of San Roque, denouncing the right-wing's policies against the welfare state.
The socialist leader from Cádiz based this refusal on the seven years of Moreno's administration, a period during which, he claims, public services, public healthcare, public education, and a dependency law that he never believed in have been "intentionally deteriorated".
Ruiz Boix appealed to coherence and the defense of social issues, emphasizing that the PSOE "cannot be complicit in the continuation of Moreno Bonilla as president of the Junta de Andalucía." He dismissed Román's proposal and closed ranks with the regional leadership, indicating that the party's policy in Andalucía, led by María Jesús Montero, is to vote 'no' to the investiture.
The socialist leader reiterated that, given the current scenario, a possible solution could be a repeat of the Andalusian elections, an idea already expressed after the May 19th elections.
In the same vein, Juan Cornejo reiterated the PSOE of Cádiz's "resounding no" to abstention, justifying it by the PP's management in dismantling healthcare, education, and dependency services. "Our general secretary, María Jesús Montero, has already said that neither actively nor passively will we allow a PP government, and the PSOE of Cádiz fully supports that stance," emphasized Cornejo.
