An agreement with multiple dimensions
The recent investiture agreement between the PSC and ERC has been revealed as a significant step forward in Catalan politics. With a plan designed to address vital issues for the community, this pact highlights the will to collaborate for the common good.
Commitment to the Catalan language
One of the most prominent areas of the agreement is the creation of the National Pact for the Language, which foresees an initial investment of 200 million euros during its first year. The fundamental objective of this pact is to revitalize the use of Catalan in Catalan society, strengthening its presence in all aspects of public administration through a new department dedicated to language policy.
Institutional reinforcement for the language
The new Language Policy Department, designed to integrate Catalan into every facet of government action, seeks to guarantee continuous support for the language, thus reflecting the government’s commitment to its promotion.
An innovative dialogue about Catalonia
On the other hand, the creation of a National Convention has been established in order to deal with relations between Catalonia and the Spanish State. This approach seeks to open a channel of dialogue that can lead to long-term solutions to the conflict.
Economic and sporting boost
The pact is not only limited to the linguistic area, but also foresees an Economic Development Plan with special attention to initiatives in Tarragona, as well as improvements to Barcelona Airport to expand international connections.
The role of sport
In addition, the pact aims to increase the visibility and recognition of Catalan sports federations at international level, a move that can open doors to participation in global competitions.
Fiscal autonomy and tax management
In terms of taxation, it has been agreed that the Catalan Tax Agency will take over the management of personal income tax, which gives the Generalitat more autonomy and control over financial resources.
Territorial and touristic transformation
The agreement also addresses the transformation of Barcelona Airport to improve its capacity and incorporate new routes. Likewise, measures are included to revise the Tourist Recreational Centers Law, with potential impact on future projects in the region, such as large casinos.
As this agreement unfolds, Catalonia enters a new stage that promises significant changes in both the linguistic and economic spheres. The successful development of these initiatives could determine the future of the territory in an increasingly complex environment.
