Andorra la VellaThe Head of Government, Xavier Espot, has stated this Tuesday, questioned by the media about his successor, that this is a debate that “does not touch at this moment” and, in fact, has specified that it is a matter of which “is not talked about”. In any case, he wanted to make it clear that when this debate takes place it will be a participatory issue, since “even if some think otherwise, our method of functioning as a party is much more plural and more participatory than people realize think.” “This will not work as an elective monarchy”, he joked adding that it is not up to him to decide who can be the person in charge of leading the party in the face of the next general elections. In any case, he added, it is an issue that will have to be submitted to a decision by the executive and the militancy.
What he did make clear is “the vocation to disappear” from the first line of politics and joked that I’m sure “I’m already tiring everyone or so I assume”.
The head of government has defended that despite “not having started” this debate, it will take place “at the right time” remembering that right now “we are not even at the equator” of the legislature and there is “a lot of work to do “.
And precisely one of the issues that they want to clear up this legislature is the decriminalization of the voluntary interruption of pregnancy in order to advance “in a regime that protects women’s rights”. In this regard, and when asked by the media, he reiterated that he does not want to “slacken” the pace to address this issue, but he also recalled the “discreet and loyal” dialogue with the Holy See and the episcopal co-prince.
In the last and questioned about the multifunctional project, he answered that for the moment it is postponed, but that it is not completely ruled out. In this sense, he has explained that two requirements are necessary to carry it forward, such as having “an ideal location” and the necessary budget, two issues that more or less imminently will not be met. From the executive, however, this infrastructure is considered “strategic and necessary”.
