The Nasrid consistory has raised a cry in the sky after the announcement of the Central Executive to grant the construction of the headquarters of the Spanish Agency for the Supervision of Artificial Intelligence (AESIA) to the city of A Coruña, rejecting their candidacy, which they considered the most optimal.
Hence, before the end of the year, the government headed by the socialist Francis Cuenca get down to work to convene an emergency commission with all the political groups, which have come together to initiate the claim procedures through the courts, once the administrative channels have been exhausted. Now this process could drag on for more than a year.
In the celebrated Pact of the Martyrsthe different political representatives and institutions from Granada accused of ‘lack of transparency and objectivity’ the decision of the central government. Since then, they have been working on challenging this decision, which they consider to lack technical criteria. After the Employment, Entrepreneurship, Smart City, Innovation, Commerce and Tourism Commission was held on December 30, it was agreed that the legal team of the city council would be in charge of taking the legal procedure before the Supreme Court.
The city of the Alhambra has been considered at all times as the best candidacy, having the unconditional support of the University of Granadawhat for 40 years They have been implementing studies in artificial intelligence and have served as a cradle for the most renowned scientists in the country in this field.
The causes that point from Granada
In the words of the Granada executive himself, the fact of choosing Seville as the headquarters of the Spanish Space Agency (AEE) It has meant that Granada was ousted, due to the fact of not granting two agencies to the Andalusian autonomous community.
But they also go further, and have even gone so far as to state publicly that it is a matter of ‘political calculation’that is, of a strategy of the Government of Sánchez to retain the mayoralties of Seville and A Coruña, since although Granada also governs the PSOE, it is usually a city where the right usually prevails in number of votes.
The procedure for the Granada City Council will be laborious, since the submission of the document will be accompanied by the request to the Government of Spain for the file on the election of A Coruña as the headquarters of AESIA and that will be taken as the basis for preparing the legal claim.
All this indicates that it will be a city projectand not of government, since next May there will be municipal elections in Granada and this could be used by the current mayor as a tool to gain weight in the elections.
In fact, from PP and Vox The commission has been requested to file another appeal to impose precautionary measures that prevent the Government from making investments for the construction of AESIA in A Coruña. However, if the resolution of the High Court were to take as long as expected, it could be too late to undo what was built.
From the central government, in the words of alfonso rodriguezsecretary of Municipal Policy of the PSOE and first vice-president of the Congress of Deputies, caution and restraint have been demanded of Cuenca, who even declared that he felt devastated and angry, appealing to the lack of government transparency.
the deputy mayor, bald jacobhas emphatically stated: “It was said from the outset that Granada comes first and Granada is being the first in this process that we are going to start, which we intend to be serious and rigorous.”
Be that as it may, A Coruña celebrates the concession issued by the Executive a month ago and will begin the construction procedures of AESIA. The judicial process will go on for a long time and everything indicates that Granada will not surrender.
