The CUP sees no “margin of understanding” with the Government regarding the 2024 budgets and this was stated in the meeting they had this Friday morning at the Palau de la Generalitat. That is why the anti-capitalists will ask their bases to ratify the presentation of an amendment to the entire accounts of the Generalitat.
In statements to ACN and TV3 at the end of the meeting, deputy Mar Ampurdanès regretted that the Executive had not accepted proposals that they considered “affordable” and reiterated the ‘no’: “We see no room for understanding with a Government that lives off crumbs of the PSC”. And she has denounced that this pact represents “continuity of a failed country model.”
The Government and the CUP met this Friday morning at the Palau de la Generalitat, in the last of the budget meetings. On the executive side, the Secretary General of the Presidency, Núria Cuenca, attended; the general director of interdepartmental coordination, Marc Ramentol, and the general secretary of Economy and Finance, Josep Maria Aguirre. On the part of the anti-capitalists, deputies Mar Ampurdanès and Xavier Pellicer have done so.
At the end of the meeting, Ampurdanès lamented that “ERC continues hand in hand as a priority partner of the most right-wing PSC in history, the PSC of climate denialism” and that they see no room for understanding if the Executive has these alliances. In this context, the deputy explained that she will transfer these considerations to her militancy and that, “during the next few days,” they will ask them “to ratify the presentation of an amendment to the entirety.”
The anti-capitalists have regretted that they tried to “generate a shared framework” with proposals that were “perfectly acceptable for an ERC Government”, such as 1,000 million euros to expand the public housing stock, the end of evictions and power cuts. , the reinforcement of primary care or a public distributor. “It was perfectly acceptable, but it was not possible,” lamented Ampurdanès.
