The Government insists on supporting the livestock sector and Podemos affirms that Garzón spoke as minister

The pulse continues within the Government at the expense of the words of Alberto Garzon on the macro-farms installed in Spain. The Minister of Education and Vocational Training, the socialist Pilar Alegria, has stressed once again that the Executive is “overwhelming“in its support of the livestock sector. As the Minister Spokesman did, Isabel rodriguez, has avoided ruling on whether the head of Consumption should resign or not. In front, United We can reject that Garzón spoke in that interview in a “personal capacity”, as defended by the socialist sector, and they affirm that he does so as a minister.

Once again, Alegría wanted to unmark the Executive from Garzón’s words about the macro-farms and the “poorer quality” meat that they exported. The explanations of the person in charge of Consumption assuring that the interview was incomplete have not made change of position to the majority wing of the Government. “That support is demonstrated not only with words, but also with deeds“, has emphasized the Minister of Education on the defense that the Executive makes of the livestock sector. In addition, it has defended that Spain”it would not be understood without that primary sector“.

However, he has preferred not to pronounce on whether Garzón should resign, as demanded by the opposition and some regional presidents of the PSOE. “I believe that I have been very clear that the Government’s support for the primary sector is absolutely fundamental“, has thus responded to the question that they have formulated in an interview in Telecinco.

They demand rectification

At United We Can, they disagree with their government partners. After defending the words of Garzón, the president of the United We Can parliamentary group in Congress, Jaume Asens, has indicated this Friday that the Minister of Consumption “speaks as a government and not in a personal capacity“He has responded in this way to the spokesman minister, Isabel Rodríguez, who assured that the federal coordinator of IU spoke in a” personal capacity. ”

Asens has also called “extremely serious disloyalty” the request for resignation by the President of Aragon, Javier Lambán, and has demanded that it rectify “immediately”. In addition, he has pointed out that Garzón’s words must be spread “from what he has said” and not “from what some have made up of what he has said.” In this sense, he has supported the thesis that macro-farms produce a large amount of greenhouse gases.

Lambán, far from retracting his words, will launch an advertising campaign in international media to promote Aragonese meat and reverse the hypothetical effect that Garzón’s statements have caused. One of the first media in which this campaign will start will be ‘The Guardian’.
