Profile Xosé Cora A Valedor uncomfortable for power

Xosé Cora Rodriguez (1922) was the first Valedor do Pobo which took Galicia. Practiced for a decade and was con ochenta years after the independence blasón professional.

His ammunition as a defender of all Galicians neutrality was critical, a professional attitude that is not always sat well to the official.

La de Cora fue una independencia mal digerida por los poderes autonómico y local, aunque él mismo quitó hierro al asunto cuando se despidió del cargo, tras poner énfasis en lo «magnífico» de la institución que gobernó durante estos años.

Reports critics

Their reports critical of the management of the Xunta and concellos on issues such as forced expropriation, the so-called parallel administration of the Xunta, temporary employment agencies or the democratic deficit of concellos were the litmus test of independence for a decade hegemonic conservative. The horse battle that was used by citizens to put thousands of complaints from the most remote corners of the community.

The independence of Cora was sad reflection on the tablecloths farewell, in which the highest levels of power

Home Rule was not furnished. In tribute to him tributó Compostela in a little more than six years, 24 2002, driven by employees of Parliament, and which brought together the cream of politics and the country's institutions, decided in the Xunta practice by passing page.

Two members of the PP, by a friendship and another mission in parliamentary institutions, covered the case. There were, among others, Beiras, Touriño, Meilán, the president of the High Court Xustiza, and the Economic and Social Consello, and Consello Galego of Labour Relations. Nearly two hundred people.

It happens that Cora is not escoró. Practiced, which is separate issue. When asked for his critical reports, returned by passive and defended the independence of the institution. He noted that the mission of government is to work for the Valedor fulfil its purpose. One goal that has been very clear at all times to prevent abuses of government on citizens.

Acting on its own motion

Cora always defended the reports officially. If there were many complaints about noise, for administrative abuses, discrimination and other labor must act on its own. That's the Valedor. Lo said in his farewell, when he called for prioritization in social spending to prevent Galicia go 'á queue Spain "in social affairs. On the merits, the lack of public residences for the elderly and child care. One issue still unresolved six years after

Cora went without making noise, but with a sensitivity to the surface, convinced that reports

The institution may not involve an affront to the administration but a help. Certainly, not everyone understood.
