The president of the Government of Asturias, Adrián Barbón, apologized on Friday for «reprimanding» the president of the PP of Asturias, Álvaro Queipo, during the plenary session of the General Assembly of the Principality of Asturias (JGPA) held this Tuesday. «I apologize, because on Tuesday I reacted in a way that is not usual for me,» he wrote on his ‘X’ social media account in a message collected by Europa Press.
In that plenary session, in which Belarmina Díaz reported that she had resigned from her position as Minister of Ecological Transition, Industry, and Commerce, the PP deputies ended up leaving the parliament. It was after one of their own, Agustín Cuervas-Mons, asked for the floor to protest against Barbón’s attitude.
The president of the JGPA, Juan Cofiño, did not give him the floor and ended up expelling Cuervas-Mons from the chamber after warning him three times. It happened during the plenary session that discussed the mining accident in Cerredo, in the Asturian municipality of Degaña, where five workers died and four others were injured.
This Friday, Adrián Barbón wanted to give his version of the events on social media. «It is true that it deeply hurt me that after Belarmina Díaz resigned, after being held accountable in Parliament, the leader of the right wing said loudly from his seat ‘what a shame, you have no shame’ repeatedly. And that’s when I was not at my best, when I looked at him and reprimanded him for not answering the phone to the then Minister on April 5, who called him, as the leader of the right wing, to explain what was being done and investigated in the Blue Solving case and not only did not answer the call, but also did not respond to her messages to talk,» Barbón explained.
The Asturian president acknowledges that he did not act in the correct manner and wanted to publicly apologize to the people of Asturias. «When we should be more united than ever, setting aside partisan interests, in the debate, I was not at my best and it was not edifying,» he admitted.
He added that avoiding tension and polarization in political debate has always been one of his concerns. «I also believe that it is necessary and appropriate that we show that we are more united than ever and that we allow the Government of Asturias to face the necessary regeneration, while the Justice system, the special Commission on Mining Safety, and the Inspection of Services act,» Barbón wrote.
