The third vice president and minister for the Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera, has rejected that there is “a reason” to dismiss the Minister of Consumption
The Minister of Consumption, Alberto Garzón, has tried to approach the livestock sector this Thursday and has held a meeting with the agricultural organization UPA. After that, it has ensured that consumers have the right to know “as precisely as possible” where the meat they are consuming comes from, while also ensuring that it will study the UPA proposals related to the labeling of meat products.
The minister has shared reflections on the existing problems in the rural world and, in particular, in the livestock sector. In this context, Garzón has defended extensive, family and social livestock farming, “which generates jobs and produces roots in the population”, as opposed to the model of macro-farms, that is, “farms that need to be stopped and limited to protect the planet , the rural world and livestock ».
However, the general secretary of the United Left has avoided criticizing the PSOE after the attacks by some leaders in recent days for their statements about the macro-farms. The head of Consumption has no intention of stirring up the controversy, although he has also made it clear that he would “say again” what he said word for word.
Garzón has also vindicated “all the reforms that the Government of Spain has made to protect this sector.” For example, the royal decree to make the hygienic-sanitary package more flexible and to facilitate marketing to small producers.
In the same vein, the socialist voices that have spoken out today in this regard have been shown. The Minister for Territorial Policy and Government spokesperson, Isabel Rodríguez, has asserted that the controversy generated has served to tell Spaniards that “the Government is committed” to the sector.
The third vice president and minister for the Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera, for her part, has rejected that there is “a reason” to dismiss the Minister of Consumption, Alberto Garzón, or for him to resign, and recalled that she is “used” to that on Wednesdays in Congress they ask for “the dismissal of four or five ministers.”
