Antoni Bassas' analysis: "The PP continues to embrace the far right it has always harbored."

The one who will have the budget is the increasingly lamentable president of the Valencian Community, Carlos Mazón, by way of a pact with Vox. Is there a section dedicated to defending "linguistic freedom?" What does that entail? By "significantly cutting the budget of the Valencian Academy of Language" and reducing "subsidies for the promotion of Valencian." The PP continues to embrace the far right. After all, it's been within its grasp all its life.

In Esquerra they accept the solution of postponing the comprehensive transfer of Cercanías Two years, and in the PSC too, of course, with the argument that they couldn't make the transfer with the workers against it and because the Generalitat doesn't have enough staff for the trains right now. Since the PSOE-ERC agreement is from November 2023, that is, a year and four months ago, it seems they haven't had time to integrate the workers without the need for this extension. Then, in November 2023, they told us "Renfe will no longer be part of the lives of the citizens of Catalonia." Well, a year and four months later, like in Monterroso's tale, every day when we wake up, the Renfe dinosaur is still there. In other words, the workers are protected, but the service yesterday was once again a disaster, with delays and cancellations as if there were a strike. Yesterday, on TV3, Oriol Junqueras said that if the PSOE doesn't comply with the agreements, it won't have a budget for 2026. So? This is dangerous. We've already normalized the idea of punishing a government by cutting its budget. But it's the people who are being punished.

The one who will have budgets is the increasingly lamentable president of the Valencian Community, Carlos Mazón, by way of make a pact with Vox. They have made an agreement in which they speak of "illegal immigration", to confront the "green impositions", with the elimination of all the items allocated to the 2030 Agenda and, of course, in which there is a section dedicated to defending "linguistic freedom", which, as you can imagine, is freedom in favor of Castilian and against Catalan. to the promotion of Valencian". All this, with the support of Feijóo, who encourages other PP regional governments to make similar pacts. The PP continues to embrace the far right. After all, it's had it inside its entire life.

Good morning.
