Crisis: Galicia to cut 14 regional MPs
Filed Under EN
(ANSAmed) – MADRID, JULY 27 – The president of the
government of Galicia, Alberto Nunez Feijo of the Pardido
Popular, announced that the regional Parliament will lower by 14
the number of lawmakers, from 75 to 61, to cut public spending.
Feijo was quoted by the local press as assuring that the PP
would approve the reform regardless of the opposition’s stance
on the issue thanks to its absolute majority in the chamber. He
said however that he hoped for an accord “at least with the
PSOE”.
Lowering the number of MPs will not “totally change the rules of
the game”, said the president, as it will maintain the minimum
number of representatives per province, 10 MPs, under Galicia’s
electoral law. Opposition groups, the Socialists and Galician
National Bloc, oppose the reform. (ANSAmed)
