BRUSSELS, 21 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) – (From the special envoy of Europa Press, Pol Rovirosa Guals)
ERC plans to rush the deadline to decide whether or not to present an amendment to the entire General State Budget (OGE), which ends this Friday at 2:00 p.m. until the last moment.
In statements to the media from Brussels, after meeting with the European Commissioner for the Internal Market, Thierry Breton, the President of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès, refused to advance what decision the Republicans will take on the accounts: “There are a few hours left before the end of the term”, and has ensured that it will be ERC who announces the definitive position.
For their part, republican sources have indicated to Europa Press that there is no planned meeting of the party Executive to make a decision on the amendment to the entirety, and have stressed that they will rush the deadline until the last moment, as happened last year. .
And it is that in the negotiation of the General State Budgets of 2022, ERC announced that it would not present an amendment to the entirety one minute before the end of the term, and they were the second consecutive accounts that the Republicans facilitated.
In recent days there have been contacts between the ERC and the Government to put the processing of the Budgets on track, and the Republicans have reiterated the positions are far apart, despite the fact that no details have emerged on the progress of the negotiations.
ERC has raised three questions to support new Budgets: that the commitments of the pact of the accounts of last year be fulfilled; improve the budget project, especially in the social field in matters such as housing, and that there be progress in dejudicializing the conflict.
In July, the Generalitat and the Government agreed at the dialogue table an agreement for the dejudicialization of the Catalan conflict, in which they included the promotion of legislative reforms before the end of the year, among which could be the reform of the crime of sedition.
Aragonès has insisted in recent months that these reforms must be approved in the Congress of Deputies before the end of the year but, with just over two months to go before this deadline expires, no progress has yet been made public on this matter.
