Our autonomous system needs a reform that guarantees effective governance through federal deepening.” This is how the declaration of the Association for a Federal Spain (AEF) begins , presented this Tuesday in Madrid by several members of its board of directors, including its president Nicolás Sartorius . Federalists from all over Spain have established a roadmap and an action plan to undertake the necessary reforms that strengthen the social and democratic State of law. In the search for this consensus, they start from several clear premises: federalism is not left or right, nor does it seek confrontation, but rather “institutional loyalty” and “unity” to complete the autonomous model born of the Transition and improve its functioning. “The federalism that we defend is contrary to any disintegrating or centralizing tendency that would only lead to inequality and conflict,” they say. Therefore, the chosen moment is not trivial, after a pandemic that, although it has revealed the strengths of the territorial model, has also revealed serious weaknesses in the management of the different public administrations. “Spain is ripe for moving to federal formulas.
Said Sartorius, who also recognizes the current political “blockade” and who, however, does not see it as an impediment to advancing certain federal reforms. Although constitutional reform is on the horizon for the completion of the process, its promoters propose a series of “concrete partial reforms” that could be undertaken in the short term. The main one, the Australia Phone Number review of the regional financing model that, on the one hand, strengthens the common 'cash' of the State and guarantees quality public services, and on the other, the financial sufficiency of the autonomous communities; without forgetting the delimitation of what they qualify as “harmful or unfair tax competition.” In the words of Sartorius, “in Spain we do not converge, but rather we diverge.” Likewise, they plan to regulate figures such as the Conference of Presidents or the Sectoral Conferences to improve their functioning "avoiding their virtuality being in the hands of the Government in power." Also the reform of the Senate to turn it into a true chamber of territorial representation. A reform - Sartorius recalled - that has been talked about in recent years and that has even been proposed by the.
The other major package of reforms refers to the area of competence to avoid the conflict that has become evident during the covid. For the signatories of the declaration, it is necessary to delimit the “exclusive and non-delegable powers of the State (Federation)” and also establish a framework for common action with respect to others that are transferred, mainly if they concern matters that make up the Welfare State ( health, education, dependency, etc…). Since this project started in , the Association for a Federal Spain has managed to establish itself in practically all the autonomous communities. Its relaunch now includes a calendar of meetings with parties, unions, business organizations and other groups in the social fabric , in addition to activities of various types in the different territories to create a “drive for change” in civil society, says Sartorius.
