Felipe González believes that Montero should not be a minister and leader of the Andalusian PSOE

Former Prime Minister Felipe González said on Wednesday in Valencia, without mentioning her, that the Vice President of the Government and Minister of Finance, María José Montero , should not be Minister and General Secretary of the PSOE of Andalusia.

He said that, based on common sense, "the person sitting at the cash register cannot be distributing what he has in the cash register and be a candidate for this or that thing." "My countrywoman should not be a minister to be a candidate," said González during the General Assembly of the Valencian Association of Businessmen (AVE) held in Valencia.

During his speech he defended the need for the PP and PSOE to "come to an agreement" to reform the regional financing system before "entering into an auction again."

"Removing the debt of an autonomous community does not mean removing the debt of the Spanish people. It is about moving a debt from here to here, but it is not removing it," warned González, who added that "we are going to swallow the debt, we are going to pay it one way or another, we are going to swallow it together."

He also considered that governments "must provide predictability and since they do not give it to us at the moment, it makes us uneasy. In this lottery, auction or distribution, I have won so much and I have won more or less, but between all of us, what do we get?" he asked.

"Decentralisation does not mean centrifuging power. Competencies are decentralised to make them more efficient, power is not decentralised," said the former Prime Minister.
