Chunta Aragonesista (CHA) has demanded “public and urgent explanations” from the President of the Government of Aragon, Jorge Azcón, for the appointment of the Director General of Justice, Esmeralda Pastor, “a person who apologizes for Francoism on social networks.” . The President of the CHA, Joaquín Palacín, has pointed out that the new Director General of Justice “directly practices the apology of Francoism, even posing with flags of this ideology and sharing posts with the same content on her account.” For Palacín, these events show , that “Azcón’s personal and partisan interests in obtaining power far exceed essential democratic values and respect for what the word Aragón is and means”, and it is a shame for the regional president to make a mistake again ” and in a “very serious” way with this appointment, which “shows the lack of democratic responsibility as well as a complete lack of rigor and political dignity in the appointment of the people who occupy the government’s organizational chart.” “They arrive late and badly “, he added. “With this appointment, Aragón’s own image is also being damaged, which is now part of the negative news throughout the state, which is directly and exclusively due to a decision made by the PP,” complained Palacín. “We demand the immediate dismissal of this person who cannot, even for a second longer, hold a democratic position of this political responsibility in Aragon,” he concluded.
