The mayor of Saragossa, Jorge Azconannounced Monday that the institution he heads is “extremely concerned” about doubts about the name and celebration of the joint candidacy ceremonies between Aragon and Catalonia for the 2030 Winter Olympicsafter the statements of the coordinator for this appointment appointed by the Generalitat de Catalunya, Mónica Bosch.
“For Zaragoza, the opening or closing ceremony, or the name of the candidacy, where the name of our city should be, exactly equal to the name of the city of Barcelona, was not discussed”, Azcón featured in a press conference.
The mayor responded in this way to statements made by Bosch in an interview given to ‘El Periódico de Catalunya’, in which he said that “you have to decide where the ceremonies will be held” and that the two communities should which is according to the name of this winter’s date.
According to the mayor, these words “particularly alarmed” Zaragoza “Because he didn’t leave out the name of the candidacy, or anything related to the closing and inauguration ceremonies, that also left them in the air.”
In this regard, he considers that the Aragonese capital cannot resign ”neither at a ceremony nor in the name of the candidacy”, To“ not enter into negotiations that the name of the city and the opening or closing ceremony will be held in Zaragoza ”.
“The Generalitat needs to understand that this joint candidacy can only be granted if it is conducted on an equal footing. of technical tests, in the celebration of ceremonies and in what has to do with the name of the candidacy between Zaragoza and Barcelona ”, he stressed.
In this sense, he added that “the doubts sown by the Catalan man in charge of the candidacy do not help to form the necessary consensus that there must be something very important for the city of Zaragoza, for the autonomous community of Aragon, for Catalonia and, of course, for Spain ”.
For this reason, and apart from “differences” regarding the conduct of exams in different territories, it is considered that both the name of the candidacy and the location of the ceremonies “must be closed at the same time that the Olympic disciplines are closed. ”
“We don’t want any more surprises; we already had a surprise with the cast of Olympic disciplines with respect to what the technical commission has agreed to, or said they have agreed ”, the mayor stressed.
In preparing this joint candidacy, he regarded “equality” between Aragon and Catalonia as “a basic idea”where he recalled that he had already asked the President of the Government of Aragon, Javier Lambán, to speak to the head of the national Executive, Pedro Sánchez, to “ensure equality” and the latter to “defend Spain” and ” the Aragonese ”, against“ an entirely intransigent position ”of the Generalitat.
Regarding these doubts raised by Bosch, the mayor revealed that he has not yet contacted Lambán, although thought that the position of the head of the Aragonese Executive in this matter was “identical” to his.
“I don’t want to think that Mr. Lambán is thinking of negotiating in the name of the city of Zaragoza or in an opening or closing ceremony,” he added.
For all these reasons, he considered it “very necessary” that the President of the Government of Aragon called “those capable of communication” and that the Spanish Olympic Committee “be clear about the fair aspirations” of Zaragoza and the Community.
