The Government has reached the first agreement to approve the budgets of the Generalitat for 2023 with the communes, a pact that, according to La Vanguardia, includes fiscal measures. The president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès, and the president of the En Comú Podem parliamentary group, Jéssica Albiach Satorres, will sign it this afternoon, at 5:30 p.m.
However, the sum of Esquerra with the commons (41 deputies) is manifestly insufficient for the accounts to see the green light in Parliament, with which the Catalan Executive must seek the support of the PSC or its former Junts partners.
In this regard, yesterday from the Government, the support that his project of accounts has on the part of unions or entities of the third sector was exhibited, and his spokesman, Patrícia Plaja, was confident in being able to approve the accounts “shortly”. In any case, in Palau they do not anticipate approving them if they do not have enough support tied up beforehand and do not rule out a four-party agreement with PSC, Junts and En Comú Podem.
The PSC, for its part, does not see the budgets likely to reach Parliament before the end of the year. “We are halfway” in the negotiations, said yesterday its spokesperson, Alícia Romero, who shook off the pressure to close an agreement as soon as possible. “We have been negotiating with ERC every day since last week, at a good pace,” said Romero, who still sees no chance of reaching the “good agreement” that his group hopes for in the coming days. The talks are in a process of “maturation” that needs time, she pointed out, and it is not that the PSC is “slowing down” its progress.
The Socialists have demanded the expansion of the El Prat airport, the urban development operation in the Camp de Tarragona that includes the construction of the Hard Rock to boost tourism and the resumption of work on the fourth belt or B-40, but they assure that they have not yet They have received a response from Esquerra.
