Me resultan tan vagas como oportunistas. En cualquier caso, me parece mal que un palacio o una finca pública tenga un uso privado como son las vacaciones o los fines de semana de un presidente del Gobierno. Es cierto que hay ejemplos de todo tipo en los países de nuestro entorno, pero me decanto por los más austeros. Ni siquiera me parece bien en el caso de los presidentes de las repúblicas como Estados Unidos o Francia, aunque no me corresponde cuestionar aquello que a la mayoría de sus ciudadanos les parece bien. Este rechazo también lo aplico a la utilización de los aviones o los helicópteros fuera las labores propias del cargo.
0:08 Where a President of the Government has to spend time. It is a subject that is always controversial. The excuse is that it is cheaper to use State residences because of the issue of security and that they are also given continuous use. I find it as vague as opportunist. In any case, I find it wrong that a palace or a public estate has a private use, such as the holidays or weekends of a President of the Government, except that there are examples of all time in the countries around us, but I decant myself for the most austere. I do not even agree with the Presidents of republics such as the United States or France, although it is not for me to question what most of their citizens think is right. This rejection also applies to the use of fixed- wing or rotary- wing aircraft outside the functions of the post. No one will convince me to fit in this part. Going on a weekend vacation or a party event, a concert or a family event.
1:06 It is not a question of economic cost that is irrelevant in a country like ours, but of transparency and good governance. There are countries where the Prime Minister does not live a residence like Moncloa. It is good or bad to follow that standard. None of the Presidents we have had lived in a palace before they took office and do not do so after they have left it, although they all have dignified residences that they could have occupied instead of the moncloa. Despite this, I do not think it is bad that they live in the same complex where the Government is holding the Presidency, as it is more operational. On the other hand, it makes no sense for Sanchez and his family to move on a falcon for their Easter holidays and spend them in Doñana. Some of his predecessors have done so, so it is not a personal criticism, but I extend it to them and to those who come in the future. A law must be drawn up to regulate these issues, since public goods are not for the personal enjoyment of anyone.
