The spokesperson for the Government of Extremadura, Victoria Bazaga, hopes that Vox will propose the partial amendments that it “needs” to the regional Budgets (PGEx) for 2025 and that these adjust “to the issues that can be made from the territory.”
Thus, he has delved into the fact that the regional Executive hopes that Vox with its partial amendments “does not think more than about the territory” and about what the people of Extremadura are “waiting for”, which is, as he has indicated, that the community will “move forward with a good budget”.
After recalling that, now that the period for formulating partial amendments by the parliamentary groups to the PGEx is open, the Board with President María Guardiola at the helm remains “open to dialogue”, he has stressed the importance of not thinking ” neither in red, nor in blue nor in green, but in green, white and black” so that “together” we can get “the biggest accounts, the best.”
“We are in the phase we are in, of amendments. That is the work we have now. From Vox we hope that it makes the amendments it needs, that it adjusts to the issues that can be made from the territory, that it does not think about anything other than the territory, that we do not think in red or blue or green, but that we think in green, white and black, that we are all one and that together we can achieve the biggest accounts, the best, and what the Extremadurans are expecting from us “he snapped.
“That (Extremadurans) are not waiting for us to hit potholes or put stones in the way, what they are waiting for is for us to move forward with a good budget,” added Bazaga to questions from the media – this Monday in Mérida before to inaugurate a conference on blue tourism– related to the situation of the PGEx negotiation.
“We are at the moment we are in. We are with the partial amendments, we overcome the amendments in their entirety and we are in the partial amendments. Now what we want is for each of the parliamentary groups to present the proposals in amendments to study them and vote for them,” he stressed.
Open to listen
In this framework, Bazaga has stressed that since the PGEx process began, the Board has remained “always open to listening, always open to incorporating and improving budgets that are not just numbers.” “We have to understand that they are the capacity to continue serving and understanding education, employment, rural development, culture, everything that Extremadura needs,” he added.
In this way, he indicated that now “is the time to wait to see those partial amendments” and that, in any case, “evidently from the beginning the president has been open to dialogue and to seeking the best budget, the best accounts, the better numbers for Extremadura”.
Finally, asked if the Board is considering any deadline for the negotiation of the PGEx 2025, she said: “This involves the procedures involved in the parliamentary amendments in their entirety, which we have already overcome, and the partial ones that have to be debate, they have to discuss and they have to vote… And those are the deadlines.”
