Nolasco made these requests to the ambassadors in Spain of the 26 EU member states during their visit to Aragon. The Aragonese vice president handed them a letter arguing that “there will be no Europe if Europe is unable to effectively control its borders.” He considers that “Ceuta is the clearest example of the risk of the collapse of the European democratic model” and therefore calls on “each and every one of the member states to respond to those suffering an invasion.”
In the same letter, the Aragonese vice president urged the ambassadors to convey to their respective governments the need for the EU to immediately undertake a process of “deregulation.” “It is extremely urgent,” Nolasco warned, because “we need fewer regulations, greater legislative clarity and fewer restrictions for our citizens, our workers and our companies.”
He also warned that “Europe cannot be suffocated by an energy policy that undermines its competitiveness.” “We need a strategically strong industry, and we cannot have one without a strong and competitive energy sector that provides energy at reasonable prices,” he added.
Nolasco also urged the ambassadors to promote “an extremely urgent redefinition” of European policies on agriculture and livestock farming. “Our farmers and livestock breeders must be defended, not turned into a secondary player. Because food sovereignty is also a source of social and economic wealth and a means of strengthening our democracies,” he said.
CALLS FOR THE CENTRAL PYRENEES CROSSING TO BE REVIVED
The vice president of the Government of Aragon concludes the letter handed to the ambassadors by championing Aragon “as a major gateway between Spain and Europe.” To that end, he called for “the philosophy of the major project that was the Central Pyrenees Crossing to be resumed.”
According to Nolasco’s letter, “it is neither fair nor intelligent” to continue keeping that major project buried, because “the central Pyrenees are the ideal point from which to trace the shortest line between the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of Europe,” and “because the key to communications between the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of Europe cannot remain in the hands of those who, from secessionist and exclusionary positions, seek to impose their interests on those of the rest of a country and an entire continent.”
