BARCELONA, 3 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès, has asked that the amnesty law not be “cheapened” and has encouraged its approval in the Congress of Deputies “as soon as possible.”
“Let’s not cheapen the amnesty law, it is solid, let’s approve it as soon as possible,” Aragonès stressed in an interview in the newspaper ‘El Periódico’ collected by Europa Press this Sunday.
The president of the Generalitat has explained that it will be seen after the approval if other measures are necessary and has been “absolutely convinced” that this amnesty law as it is drafted today includes the former president of the Generalitat Carles Puigdemont.
He has also labeled the Supreme Court’s decision to open criminal proceedings against Puigdemont and ERC deputy in Parliament Ruben Wagensberg for terrorism in relation to the ‘Democratic Tsunami’ case as an “aberration”.
Aragonès has assured that the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, “will have stability if he complies with the agreements”, at least on his part.
BUDGETS OF THE GENERALITAT On the other hand, he has pointed out to the comuns in relation to the approval of the Budgets of the Generalitat for 2024: “If they vote ‘no’ to this budget, they will be voting ‘yes’ to continue with the cuts that CiU made ago ten years”.
Aragonès has explained that the Catalan accounts for 2024 propose an investment in education, considering that “the comuns, who have fought so much verbally against the CiU cuts in education, now have the opportunity to leave them behind.”
Regarding the Hard Rock tourist complex in Camp de Tarragona, the leader of the Catalan Executive has assured that it is a project that does not generate enthusiasm, but has asked to “put aside any legitimate differences that may exist for a greater good.” such as investments in health or to address drought.
When asked about Junts’ support for the 2024 accounts, he expressed that its rejection “would send the message that they are not interested in the needs of citizens.”
