Therefore, the state approved in 1982 «not only helped us better serve our people, but also allowed us to build our own identity. Because our autonomous community is not just an administrative structure: it also reflects a shared history and a uniqueness that deserves to be recognized and protected,» added the autonomous leader.
The book «is the story of how we became adults as an autonomous community,» said López Miras, and in its pages delves into topics such as the electoral system, the role of the executive and the legislature, the transfer of powers, local administration, or the debate on state reform.
Referring to the current political landscape, López Miras called for a return to the spirit in which autonomy was born, based on «agreement and understanding among different parties,» and warned that «institutions should be spaces for compliance, not permanent confrontation.»
Finally, the president urged to continue working «out of respect» to strengthen a real regional culture, especially among the new generations, and stated that «without strong institutions, there is no possible future.»
