The president of the Parliament, Anna Erra, held a meeting this Tuesday with the president Pere Aragonès at the Palau de la Generalitat, an appointment for which they had been summoned last Friday after the election of the leader of Junts per Catalunya as second authority catalan
This is the first meeting of the leaders of the two highest institutions of Catalonia, after the Parliament has been in an interim situation since last July due to the suspension of Laura Borràs as deputy and president.
It has been an institutional and cordial appointment to address the great challenges of the country, the political situation and great consensus such as the defense of the Catalan language, according to the sources consulted.
In the afternoon, the president of the Catalan Chamber, who today will lead a plenary session for the first time, has started a round of contacts with all the groups that have representation in Parliament except that of Vox.
The first to sit down with the new president of the institution was Albert Batet, president of the JxCat parliamentary group, together with the post-convergent spokesperson, Mònica Sales. Then the first secretary of the PSC and head of the opposition, Salvador Illa, did the same. Next Friday, given that tomorrow and Thursday there will be a plenary session in the Chamber, the rest of the meetings are scheduled to be held, which have taken place in the audience office.
From Junts they explain that in the meeting with Erra, the highest-ranking institutional leader of the Jordi Turull and Laura Borràs party, they discussed the “main issues on the parliamentary agenda, such as the need to defend the sovereignty of Parliament against judicial interference and policies of Madrid”; and the importance of holding the monographic plenary session on education that was going to take place this week and that JxCat had promoted. The plenary session was supposed to start today in the afternoon, but it has been postponed until the end of June due to changes in the Government of Aragonès, which affected the Ministry of Education with the dismissal of Josep González Cambray, relieved by Minister Anna Simó.
The Socialists, for their part, have stuck to highlighting that it has been a cordial meeting, after Illa had requested a meeting this Monday by letter with the brand new president of the Catalan Chamber, who was elected on Friday in plenary session after more of ten months of interim in the institution.
