Montero defends a « new Andalusia » to activate the progressive majority | Andalusia news

Depending on the different historical stages in the PSOE of Andalusia -where the books written by Blas Infante, considered father of the Andalusian homelandthey have never occupied a preferential place- the definition of Andalusian is used with more or less intensity. With María Jesús Montero in the General Secretariat for about 100 days, One of those times comes in which the socialists will use it again. At least half a dozen times he has said Friday defending « a new Andalusianism of the 21st century » to attract the progressive majority and that consists in agglutinating a social majority around their project.

Moreno has started the route to try to win the Andalusian elections planned for a year that, SEgún says the published surveys, the current president of the Board, Juan Manuel Moreno, has won. At the moment, he has the match calmed and united around his figure, a calendar of events begins to be designed to mobilize the 808 houses of the town and also appear electoral promises to recover the Palace of San Telmo.

In the first Meeting of the Andalusian PSOE Director Committeethe maximum decision -making body between congresses, Montero announced the celebration of a political conference, to which it did not give date, in which professionals, unions, experts and groups related to health, new rights and entrepreneurship will participate. What is about collecting ideas that nourish the electoral program. According to her, the conclusions of that conference will be « the living reflection of new Andalusia. »

With this concept, still quite inaccurate, Montero turns the permanent claim of the socialists of the Andalusian autonomous process of the 80s of the last century, which are considered, if not the only ones, yes the main protagonists, with great anger of the rest of the leftist and Andalusian formations. This speech has long been quite old and they walk around their recycling although they have not yet landed in the concretion. « Andalusia does not need a retouching, but a serene, deep, democratic transformation in its economic, social, institutional and territorial model, » Montero said without going down to detail.

In addition to the political conference, Montero has launched two electoral proposals. If you win the Board, It will limit the percentage of concerts with private health and shield by law that Primary care to « can never be arranged with private centers ». Popular often remember that the percentage of concerts is less than those of the socialist stages. One of the greatest conflicts facing the government of Juan Manuel Moreno is undoubtedly health, With waiting lists fired. The executive himself got into a mess when An order from the Ministry of Health was known in which the outsourcing of primary care was and that Moreno ordered to stop at the avalanche of union and social protests.

As he has been doing since he was elected general secretary, Montero has insisted that it is possible to win the elections, for what he wants the entire « offensive » party and alert against the attempts of the PP « of scaresing the progressive vote. » His rival, Juan Manuel Moreno, has accused him « of lack of ambition, neglect and throwing balls out. » Nor has Montero lost the opportunity to defend the management of Pedro Sánchez and the government in which she is Vice President and Minister of Finance.

It has been a placid director committee for the Secretary General, where from the beginning it was already known that all provincial general secretaries were going to take the floor, as well as representatives of the socialist left, the only critical current authorized in the PSOE. Socialists had interest especially in hear those who premiered the position: the general secretaries from Malaga (Josele Aguilar), Granada (Pedro Fernández), Jaén (Juan Latorre) and Almería (José María Martín). In total there have been 12 people who have intervened.

Luis Ángel Hierro, who tried to attend the primaries by the General Secretariat and who failed to gather the guarantees, has asked Montero to leave the Ministry of Finance. No one has signed this opinion. On the contrary, the general secretaries that have intervened later have defended their presence in the government. Montero does not plan to leave his positionswhich provide considerable public projection, until the Andalusian president firm the decree of the dissolution of Parliament and sets the electoral date.
