The political climate in Aragón intensified during the regional debate as President Jorge Azcón announced a major healthcare infrastructure project alongside a posthumous award for former President Javier Lambán. Azcón revealed plans for a new Hospital Universitario y Tecnológico Royo Villanova in Zaragoza, estimating the construction cost at approximately €200 million. The facility is intended to become a reference center for the healthcare sector, with funding potentially included in the 2026 budget pending approval.
The announcement of Lambán receiving the Gabriel Cisneros Prize for constitutional values sparked immediate controversy, despite Azcón's praise for the late socialist leader. The president described Lambán as "an example of coherence, honesty and constitutional patriotism" who defended Spain's unity and autonomy statute. Azcón emphasized that the former president never hesitated to denounce what he characterized as regressionist tendencies in national politics, particularly referencing agreements with independentist parties.
PSOE spokesperson Fernando Sabés responded sharply to what he termed the "partisan use" of Lambán's memory, declaring that the Socialist party would not allow continued manipulation of the former president's legacy. Sabés suggested that Lambán would have been repulsed by Azcón's discourse had he been present in the chamber. The exchange highlighted the deep political divisions surrounding the interpretation of constitutional values and appropriate commemoration of political figures.
The dual announcements—combining substantial infrastructure investment with contentious political symbolism—reflect the complex interplay between governance and partisan politics in Aragón's current landscape. While the hospital project addresses practical healthcare needs, the debate over Lambán's legacy underscores persistent ideological tensions that continue to shape regional discourse, particularly regarding constitutional principles and their contemporary application.
