UPL puts the train line to Madrid in Mañueco’s requests to Sánchez

The Union of the Leonese People announced yesterday that it will transfer to the president of the Junta de Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, a list of inescapable claims for León in the previous meeting that he will hold with the spokesmen of the parliamentary groups for his meeting with the President of the Government Pedro Sanchez.

The spokesman for the UPL-Soria Ya Parliamentary Group, Luis Mariano Santos from León, will include among his claims the declaration of Public Service obligation for the León-Madrid railway line; support for León as the headquarters of the future Aerospace Agency; reverse the removal of bus stops and put on the table the worrying fires that are ravaging the forests.

Some fires whose responsibility the UPL attributes to the chaotic regional management of the fire-fighting operation.

Finally, Luis Mariano Santos also announced that he will not forget to mention the Ponferrada-Orense highway, the slow or almost non-existent progress of the energy transition and the poor condition of the A-6.

Mañueco, who yesterday attended the inauguration of Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla as president of Andalusia, specified that he will hold a meeting with the President of the Government next Thursday in which he will propose a “State pact” for Health and “be supportive » when situations are suffered in which nature subjects the territories to «a situation of stress».

The president of Castilla y León also announced yesterday that he will ask Sanchez for a new regional financing model that leaves behind the current one, which he considered “old and bad.” Thus, he warned that no one “should lose” in a negotiation situation and demanded that, in addition to criteria such as population, others such as “dispersion, aging and territory” be taken into account. “We also need an additional effort on the part of regional financing,” said Mañueco.
