Tribune of the general secretary of the PP of Andalusia, Antonio Repullo.
Sometimes political situations are frustrating. We see very clearly opportunities for Andalusia that can transform areas in great need of future projects. And the opposition does not.
Projects that are not done to enrich evil corporations but to create jobs. Jobs that create the ideal situation for areas of Andalusia that have 22% unemployment change. AND YOUNG who are forced to leave their towns - a more than real risk in areas such as the north of Córdoba or the pyrite strip of Huelva - can create a future there.
This window of opportunities that is opening up to us is a historical debt that Spain owes to Andalusia.
One of the parameters to measure the wealth and social well-being of a community are KM of electrical network per million inhabitants: today -and always- We Andalusians have half the electricity grid as the average in Spain, only 712 kilometers compared to the average 1.231 kilometers.
Before the arrival of the Popular Party and Juanma Moreno to the Junta de Andalucía, the central government had never been asked to review this data nor a strategic plan to solve this situation.
«This window of opportunities that is opening up to us is a historical debt that Spain owes to Andalusia»
Why? I prefer not to think anymore about the fact that for 40 years the Andalusians have been repeatedly denied progress out of political interest or, worse still, out of political disinterest.
But at this point, where the Government of Pedro Sánchez is more than aware of this situation because we have asked them repeatedly and they have repeatedly underestimated the situation, denying us the possibility of moving forward by not giving us the necessary economic resources. And what do we do?
Yesterday we presented an NLP in the Parliament of Andalusia to once again demand from Sánchez what the Andalusians deserve: no more no less.
What they deserve by population, by area, by level of consumption and by potential. And what all social agents, from towns to companies, want.
Today, we Andalusians have half the electricity grid as the average in Spain.
Andalusia only 712 kilometers compared to 1.231 kilometers on the average for Spain.
These are opportunities that were lost and we are not going to allow that to happen again.@arepullomilla pic.twitter.com/fiixHMVw2B

What Andalusia needs to definitively take off and consolidate itself as a leading industrial power in renewable energies.
And they voted no. No to employment, no to advancement, no to preventing young people from leaving their towns.
For me, for us, these measures are not within the framework of ideology, they are within the framework of social issues. From the people. That's why we're not going to stop working., to convince, to show that this determines the future of Andalusia and that the future can be immensely better than what we were told.
