Up to three groups have called on Pere Aragonès today to “assume more responsibilities”, an indirect and somewhat sweet way to actually ask him for more dismissals in the Government after the fiasco of the oppositions. Aragonès has recognized the incidents as “inadmissible”. It is not enough for parliamentary groups. Neither was the dismissal of the General Director of the Public Function, Marta Martorell, until Tuesday. The three have also been clearer when it comes to specifying and placing the Minister of the Presidency, Laura Vilagrà , on the target. From the PP, which has openly pressured the president to make the leader present her resignation, or the PSC, which has demanded that she take the reins “no matter how hard the decisions may be”, going through Junts, which has considered that “the logical thing is that Vilagrà would have resigned”.
The stabilization tests last weekend on 13,581 Generalitat workers who applied for 1,825 jobs were a real chaos and the Government is accelerating to provide solutions before the end of this week, as announced today by the president at the control session in the Parliament. Despite pressure from the PSC, Junts and the PP, Aragonès has avoided new resignations at all times.
“It can’t happen again. We are taking the measures to determine the responsibilities, but above all to offer the solutions as soon as possible so that those who were examined can make the appropriate evaluation in an appropriate wayâ€, Aragonès stated.
For his part, the leader of the PSC, Salvador Illa, has denounced the “disorganization” and “lack of control”, which shone, he said, last Saturday with the examinations of the personnel stabilization process. “Everything failedâ€, lamented the opposition leader, which is why he has called on President Aragonès to “take the reins†and “decide no matter how hard the decisions he has to make areâ€.
Even so, he has not specified what these “hard” decisions should be translated into. Aragonès, in his turn to reply, has reproached Illa for attributing disorganization to the Government as “a rule of a general nature.” “There will be a proper response,” he insisted, before requests for explanations.
Albert Batet, president of the Junts per Catalunya parliamentary group, has clashed with Aragonès over the incidents in the oppositions on Saturday and I have demanded that he “stop embarrassing the whole of Catalonia.” “They are the Government of 80% of discontented Catalansâ€, the president of the parliamentary group snapped, alluding to one of the slogans of the Catalan Executive.
Batet has affirmed that “the most logical thing” is that Minister Vilagrà would have resigned in the face of the “fiasco” and “having played with the expectations” of the opponents. The replacement in the general direction of the Public Function is insufficient, according to Junts, since responsibilities should be assumed “at the highest level”. The incidents in the exams to get a public place suppose, in his opinion, “exceeding all the limits of incompetence” on the part of the Government.
