- Juanma Moreno, president of the PP of Andalusia, says that the Popular Party is "the only party capable of offering Andalusian families a real project for a better future and a Government for Spain that is sensible, honest and with common sense to provide solutions where there are problems and not problems where there are solutions."
- He asks the party to "not get caught up in Sánchez's constant noise" and "to continue working with even more humility, if possible, in the street, listening to citizens and telling them what we do because the data supports us."
- «Sanchez and his ministers are not new: the die-hard supporters of Sanchism, his first line, have tried to marginalize Andalusia because the PP governs it»
The president of the Andalusian PP, Juanma Moreno, ensures that “2025 is a year with many expectations for society".
“I believe that the majority of Spaniards and Andalusians want things to change for the better,” he says, “and that means, in his opinion, that “the Spanish Government should have a Government that looks after the general interests, that is sensible, honest and that has the common sense to provide solutions where there are problems and not problems where there are solutions.”
For this reason, he has reaffirmed that "we are the only political solution that can create an alternative so that things work well in our country", stressing that "in Andalusia we have given clear examples“that things can be done differently.”
And this has been demonstrated by the rigor of the facts with some examples of the management of the PP Government in the province of Seville:
- Since the investment of 74 million euros in the Reopening of the Military Hospital which the Rajoy Government handed over to the Junta when María Jesús Montero was a councillor and which the socialist Government allowed to deteriorate until it became completely ruined.
- The works already underway of the First two sub-sections of metro line 3 “forcing the Government to do its part, because they didn't want to hear anything and once we put the money on the table they had no choice but to do it.”
All this, also passing through the launch of the first national reference center of Aeronautical Training in La Rinconada, the new ones Primary school of Almensilla and Alcala del Rio or the upcoming launch of the Alcalá tram, among other projects. Examples that show that “instead of being in the mud and fighting, we are working, committed and solving citizens' problems,” Juanma Moreno has argued.
The Andalusian leader regrets that “some believe that today's Andalusia is the same as in the 90s and they make a speech for that Andalusia without knowing that the social reality has changed.” But Juanma Moreno assures that “Today Andalusia is more ambitious, free, and has more capacity.. He has become aware of his ability and potential and does not want to miss a single opportunity.”
Juanma Moreno: in the face of noise and provocation, common sense and moderation
For this reason, Juanma Moreno warns that "when people come with speeches from the past to sell a future, it only generates melancholy and frustration."
“Some people are going to come and provoke. They only know how to do politics by tripping, insulting and provoking people,” he warns, arguing that “We have built an alternative project with education, with conviction. That is the difference”.
And in this line he has insisted that "the data give us credibility. Our policies bear fruit: growth in the last nine months is above the rest of Spain and A BBVA study says that Andalusia will lead growth this year. It will grow by approximately 2,8%, well above communities such as Catalonia, Madrid, and the Basque Country.”
In his words, “the framework of institutional and political stability that we have achieved in Andalusia works.” “80% of the companies created in the last year are from Andalusia. They come because There is less tax pressure, less bureaucracy and a stable government. which generates legal security and that generates well-being, employment and progress.”
He also highlighted the record growth in tourism, the progress in the deseasonalisation of the sector with the province of Jaén at the forefront; Record export figures; the increase in staff and improvements in the work situation in Andalusian public health, as well as the growth of the dependency system with more beneficiaries than ever. And in dwelling, stressed that this Popular Party Government has mobilised the construction of 11.000 protected homes in Andalusia, three times more than the last socialist Government.
In short, and although he acknowledges that “everything can be improved”, the Andalusian president has emphasised that “the data supports us”. “I can understand that Andalusian society is ambitious, and should and can demand more from us, but we are moving forward”, said Juanma Moreno, asking the entire Andalusian PP “not to get caught up in the constant noise of the Sánchez Government and to tell us what we are doing”.
Criticism of the central government
Juanma Moreno has regretted that while "some ask us to assume our responsibilities, no one assumes the responsibilities of the permanent insult to Andalusia".
Some people think that Andalusia is like it was in the 90s and they make speeches about that time and generate frustration.

For this reason, he stressed that “Sanchez and his ministers are not new, the die-hard supporters of Sanchismo, his first line, we all know who they are, they have all tried to marginalise Andalusia because the PP governs it”, so that, in his opinion, “only by denouncing it can we find formulas to fix it”.
In this regard, Juanma Moreno has asked: "Is it not an insult that the Ministry of Finance imposes a reform so that Catalonia has own quota, and solidarity and equality between all is broken? Isn't that the greatest insult that can be done in Andalusia? And he complains that "now he says that what was signed is not going to be done, but they are carrying out the reform."
Elías Bendodo: «Sanchismo will end like Andalusian socialism did: marked by corruption»
The Deputy Secretary General of Autonomous and Municipal Policy, Elijah Bendodo, followed Juanma Moreno and stressed that "Andalusia can show off its stripes because you have earned it«. According to Bendodo, «in these turbulent times, Andalusia is today more than ever an island of stability, management and moderation».
"Andalusia is hope. While Sánchez can only prolong an agony, Andalusia is management and future," he said. Bendodo also criticised the Andalusian socialists, pointing out that "they only represent the worst past of the Andalusian PSOE, that of Chaves and Griñán, that of the ERE, the million unemployed and the scandals."
