● The secretary general of the Andalusian Popular Party defends that Juanma Moreno's Government is in the politics of the people, of responsibility and of decisions: "we are not in political battles"
● “Faced with a PSOE of Andalusia broken from within and with a leader servile to Pedro Sánchez, like Juan Espadas, the PP offers solutions and projects”
● He underlines the commitment of the Junta to the reindustrialisation of Andalusia in collaboration with the town councils: “with Juanma Moreno in the Government of the Junta and with Aurelio Fernández in the mayor's office of Lucena, this region can only grow”
“The Andalusian Government always responds. The management of the DANA is being an example. Prevention, information, anticipation and minimisation of damages.” This is how the secretary general of the PP of Andalusia, Antonio Repullo, has summarised the work of the Andalusian Government of Juanma Moreno in the face of the DANA that is crossing Andalusia this week.
Repullo stressed that “we are not in political battles. We are in the politics of the people, of responsibility and of decisions”, while he valued that “Juanma Moreno was on the ground from the first moment” and then asked the citizens to “remain alert and be cautious”.
The Junta is committed to the reindustrialization of Andalusia from the municipalities
The secretary general of the Andalusian Popular Party made these statements during a visit to the Cordoba municipality of Lucena together with its mayor and provincial coordinator of Educational Development of the PP of Córdoba, Aurelio Fernández.
From there, Repullo has argued that “the Government of Juanma Moreno has made us nonconformists. Andalusia no longer waits, Andalusia seeks. We have a perfect environment to be world leaders in the generation of clean energy.” “We have a talented, innovative productive fabric that is convinced of where it wants to go,” he stressed, adding that “we are living in a new time. The reindustrialization process is already underway.”
As he explained, “this reindustrialisation is eminently social, like the Junta's 2025 Budget, which also has specific lines for supporting the industry, to which it allocates 6% more than in 2024 and more than 44% more than in 2018.”
He gives as an example the Plan Crece Industria and its support for the sector that plays a driving role in the auxiliary sector. It is linked to Dual vocational training, where young people are trained to serve the needs of the new Andalusian industry, thus generating “stable, quality and future employment”.
Repullo has supported the opinion of Mayor Aurelio Fernández who points out that “Lucena has its three historical cultures and a fourth: entrepreneurship”. For this reason, he assures that “the Regional Government has a commitment to the Town Councils and to the promotion of a new industrial policy, and we do so through initiatives such as the CRECE Industria Action Plan, which is well established in the province of Córdoba”.
“Subbética is working for its future. And the Junta will be at its side,” he said, stressing that “the Popular Party does not waste time on minor issues, it only cares about the things that concern citizens.” “We do not impose our battles and our agendas on people, on the contrary, we listen and fight for their rights, for their expectations and for their well-being,” he stressed.
He adds: “We are not involved in noise policy. Aurelio is a good example of this. We are only involved in management. In improving the electrical capacity of this area, in facilitating the arrival of new companies and in consolidating the existing ones.”
PSOE and Sánchez limit Andalusia's electricity capacity
Antonio Repullo has stressed that this process of reindustrialisation requires the commitment of the Government of Spain. “A commitment that is not forthcoming,” he lamented, clarifying that “Andalusians have half the electricity grid of the average in Spain.” “Andalusia has half of what it should have, only 700 kilometres compared to the more than 1.200 kilometres of the average in Spain. And these are opportunities that are lost for young people, jobs that were not created and a less exciting future for many.”
In response to this, Repullo reiterates that “the PSOE and Pedro Sánchez are punishing Córdoba by not allowing it to expand the province’s electrical capacity.” In his opinion, Sánchez’s Electric Energy Transport Network Development Plan harms Andalusia and Córdoba with investments that are far below what we are entitled to based on population, surface area, level of consumption and potential.
“One more grievance. One more” -he stresses- “like the underfunding, due to which Andalusia loses 1.522 million euros every year.” But he warns: “the Popular Party is working to reverse this situation.”
Thus, he concludes that “in the face of a PSOE in Andalusia that is broken from within and with a leader who is subservient to Pedro Sánchez, like Juan Espadas, the PP offers solutions, demands and projects. With Juanma Moreno in the Junta Government and with Aurelio Fernández as mayor of Lucena, this region can only grow.”
Antonio Repullo has valued the management of the mayor from Lucena, highlighting that “you only have to see the activity that Lucena has and how it is developing”. According to him, in one of the exponents of the management of the Popular Party: “you only have to see what is the impetus given by the management of the PP, of our mayors and their teams, and, in this case, of the team that accompanies Aurelio in the mayor's office in Lucena, which is visible in each and every one of the town halls where the Popular Party manages”.
