Valencia Life 23.02.07
'PURELY POLITICAL' Francisco Camps, The President of the Valencian Community, along withRamon Luis Valcárcel, the President of the Region of Murcia, held a meeting in Brussels yesterday with Hans-Gert Pöttering, the President of the European Parliament at which the trio discussed policy over the citrus industry. After the meeting ended, Mr. Camps commented on this to journalists. He was also asked about the EU delegation that is expected to visit the Communities of Valencia, Almeria and Madrid between February 27 and March 3, and replied that in his opinion 'it was simply another form of electioneering and interfering with our electoral process'. He also stated that the delegation does not have the accreditation of the European Parliament and as such since it is made up of European members of the Socialist Party 'they are clearly coming in the interests of the party and acting against the best interests of those autonomies where the Partido Popular has a majority in both town halls and local government.'
(( This is proof that facts are unimportant. CVS))
SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE Any hopes expressed by the Partido Popular of reaching an agreement with the Socialists prior to the elections over any possible amendments to the Statutes of Autonomy were utterly shattered yesterday, due in the main to internal disputes with the Party of Joan Ignasi Pla. His traveling to Milan to see a football match in effect impeded any meeting with PP spokesman Serafin Castellano, and the first signs of discord appeared in statements from Socialist spokesman Antoni Such who stated that no agreement would be possible 'if the PP did not bend a little'. Meanwhile, statements from the other parties within the Socialist coalition, led by Gloria Marcos of the Communist coalition EU who stated that if the Socialists made an agreement with the PP prior to the May elections 'they would suffer the consequences'.In a brief meeting with Mr. Castellano yesterday, Mr. Pla made it plain that there could be no agreement on the issue prior to the elections, and this may also serve as a negative factor for Mr. Pla and his party next May as a result of voter discontent. As a result of any lack of agreement on this between the Socialists and the PP, the political atmosphere is expected to rise considerably between now and when the Valencian parliament is dissolved in April to pave way for the electoral campaigns.
