The Socialists have lost an important part of the power they held in the Sectoral Conference on Agriculture and Rural Development, made up of representatives of the autonomous communities and the Ministry of Agriculture. Before the autonomic elections in most of the regions, which took place at the end of May, the PSOE and the parties allied with it had a majority, with a total of 10 representatives; The PP and Vox only had five members at the aforementioned Conference, while the other two corresponded to the PNV and the Catalan independentistas. These last two have been maintained, because neither the Basque Country nor Catalonia have held elections, while the Socialists have been left with only two, those of Castilla-La Mancha and Asturias, to which must be added that of Navarra de Geroa Bai . The PP has 7 direct advisers (Andalusia, Extremadura, Madrid, La Rioja, Cantabria, Galicia and the Balearic Islands) that could be 8, depending on what happens in Murcia. To them must be added that of the Canary Islands, which is part of an insular group within a coalition government with the popular and the 3 of Vox (Castilla y León, the Valencian Community and Aragon). In short, the left-wing bloc would have three representatives, the right-wing one (waiting for Murcia) would already have 11. It is a very significant turnaround.
The person who takes charge of the Ministry of Agriculture in the new Government must bear in mind this distribution of seats in the Sectorial Conference on Agriculture and Rural Development when proposing measures and adopting decisions. Especially if it is about introducing changes to the CAP Strategic Plan. It must be remembered that Luis Planas took the middle street and sent to Brussels the aforementioned plan, which is currently applied, without having reached a consensus with the Agriculture councilors and without having put it to a vote either. From Andalusia they strongly defend a modification of it, considering that they are very harmed. It remains to be seen if they succeed.
