Everything indicates that the ERC Government will have to constantly row against the current if it intends to exhaust the legislature in 2025. That the Republicans and Pere Aragonès are alone is evident day by day and will be accentuated as they move away the date of the approval of the budgets and the municipal elections approach.
Today the president of the Generalitat has verified it once again, in the Parliament, with the opposition sharing the darts: the “whining” about the espionage with Pegasus, the doubts of the CUP about the Hard Rock, the flame lit by the restructuring of the organizational chart of the Mossos, a decree to alleviate the drought “without consensus”, a clear agreement to establish the conditions for a referendum that only the commons support, the controversy over the construction of a residence in Santa Coloma de Gramenet led by the Minister of Social Rights, Carles Campuzano, an “embarrassing” trip to Latin America.
Aragonès is going to lack air despite the fact that already in October, after the departure of Junts from the Government, he assumed that he should govern by negotiating “measure to measure, project by project”. Not only the PSC and the commons, which approved the budgets of the Generalitat, give truce. The leader of the Catalan socialists, Salvador Illa, has touched several keys, including the drought decree that has been brought to Parliament today for it to be validated. He has reproached the president for not agreeing on the norm beforehand
The head of the Government has once again asked Illa “not to make the drought a partisan battle” with an eye toward the municipal elections. He has claimed that there were previous meetings with his group. “It is not about informing, it is about reaching a consensus,” replied the first secretary of the PSC.
Junts, with Albert Batet in front, has also taken out the submachine gun. He has touched on everything, from the Mossos decree to the clarity agreement. He has also requested the disavowal of Campuzano for “agreeing on behalf of the Government” the construction of a residence in Santa Coloma de Gramenet with the ERC candidate for mayor, Gabriel Rufián. The president has assured that there has been no agreement with candidates and that the premise is false.
Batet has reacted as if he heard rain. “It is clear that his party makes partisan and electoral use of the Government, the whole world has seen it.” He has accused him of belittling and disrespecting the institutions by approving decrees “without consensus.” In addition, the post-convergent has questioned the suitability of the call for tomorrow by the Minister of Education, Josep Gonzàlez-Cambray, for a meeting in Manresa just one day in plenary session in Parliament. “He has gone from error to error, his Government has a problem of democratic deficit.”
Aragonès, as with the Socialists, has pointed out visibly annoyed that before approving the decree on the drought on February 28 in the Executive Council, the Catalan Executive met with Junts on February 14, “open to contributions.” And he has affirmed that if Junts does not like the clarity agreement, it would be convenient for him to provide an alternative, “but viable, not the fantasies of Mr. Canadell”, a JxCat deputy.
