- The deputy secretary for Development of the PP of Andalusia, Pablo García, highlights that “the new Andalusia Digital Law focuses on ensuring that no one is left behind in digital life”
- “The railway chaos caused by Óscar Puente this weekend is the ultimate example of the negligence of a minister who is more concerned with defending Sánchez from the corruption of his party than with the citizens”
FOR Pablo García, Deputy Secretary of Development, Territorial Articulation, Housing and Justice of the PP of Andalusia, the New Law on Digital Andalusia -known as LADI- represents “an essential step in the digitalization of our land.”
García, who spoke to the media today in Granada, stressed that “Andalusia is ready to lead the future, but we are going to do it as we know best: without leaving anyone behind.” In this regard, García explained that LADI was born with a social focus because “it is not for experts, it is for everyone.” The goal is that in the coming years, “wherever you live and whatever age you are, your digital life will be guaranteed and protected.”
"We will end the digital divide, ensuring that all Andalusians, regardless of their age or economic situation, have access to technology and digital services,” he explained. For this reason, the LADI includes the creation of a Network of Assistance for the Carrying Out of Digital Procedures, which “will help those who are not familiar with technology to carry out their procedures in a simple and secure manner.”
Protection and customization
“This law not only seeks to modernise and digitalise all aspects of our daily lives, but also to protect us in this increasingly connected world,” García explained. “We see this protection in how families will now have a 'cyber shield' that will protect minors from inappropriate content on the Internet.” But it is not just about protecting, but also about learning: “Training school programmes will be set up for families to help strengthen the protection of minors.”
The LADI, a pioneer in form and substance, will also help Andalusians to have a better relationship with the Administration: "Not only will we have 'Toda la Junta, junta', but the entire Junta will be personalized for each Andalusian." The new law will promote a citizen folder where “the Administration will be able to anticipate our needs and offer us services tailored to our personal circumstances: imagine receiving personalized reminders to renew your ID or access social benefits without having to look for them yourself.”
In addition, the Andalusia Digital Law focuses on supporting entrepreneurship, thanks to the policies of the Government of Juanma Moreno, Andalusia has become the first region to undertake. "We have a more favorable environment for entrepreneurship than the rest of Spain: we have more knowledge and skills”. That is why LADI “will support startups, digital nomads and the implementation of advanced technologies” such as artificial intelligence and automation.”
“Andalusia is ready for the future”
García has stressed that "the Andalusians and their Government are prepared for the future and We are pioneers in the adaptation of digital life, its accessible implementation and the legislation itself.”
For this reason, García has highlighted that “Andalusia is prepared, but the Sánchez Government is making things complicated for us: It complicates matters for us when the procedures that reach the citizen are cumbersome, when it prevents aid from the central government from reaching the citizen as quickly as when the regulations are Andalusian."
“The Junta's objective is to pay the day after the request is made, because our digital system allows us to do so. But if the Sánchez Government slows down the processes, we all lose,” García explained. He regrets that this is “what we are used to.”
"Sánchez constantly insults Andalusia -García clarified- we saw it with the central government's refusal to install the headquarters of the Spanish Agency for the Supervision of Artificial Intelligence in Granada." A decision that was "completely arbitrary" and that "burdens all Andalusians", but that the Junta solves with the Artificial Intelligence Centre of Andalusia in Granada and which will be a fundamental pillar for the implementation of the Digital Law.
“Here, in our land and thanks to the Government of Juanma Moreno, Advanced artificial intelligence technologies will be developed that will not only improve the efficiency of public services, but will also position Andalusia as a benchmark in technological innovation," he explained.
“Andalusia does not need mud, it needs fair financing”
“We only ask one thing from Sánchez's government: that it does not put obstacles in our way,” García claimed, insisting that “Andalusia is prepared, ready to occupy its rightful place in the future.”
He went on to explain that to achieve that future “we need a Fair funding for our public services and that The Sánchez Government is committed to dialogue with our land to understand what the Andalusians need: that It's not mud, it's the future".
“We need fair and sufficient funding in Andalusia to be able to continue offering quality public services and for Andalusia to receive the 1.522 million euros that it loses every year due to its underfunding,” García claimed. “Andalusia does not want to be more than anyone else, but neither does it want to be less than anyone else.” And from the Popular Party of Andalusia we will not allow the number 1, Pedro Sánchez, to harm our land to cling to power.".
Oscar Puente's railway chaos is an example of a cornered government
"We see a government obsessed with holding on to Moncloa and infinitely more concerned with defending itself from corruption than with the real problems of its citizens," he said. “We saw it this weekend with the railway chaos that concerned Minister Puente”.
“We want immediate measures to solve this problem, not more mud. It cannot be that, time and again, due to the negligence of Minister Puente, thousands of citizens find themselves stranded in stations throughout Spain or worse, on the train tracks themselves, without a response and abandoned by an incompetent Government, devastated by corruption cases and judicially cornered on many fronts.”
