Vox’s controversial entry into Parliament
Since its emergence in the Parliament of Catalonia in 2021, Vox has generated an intense debate between the different political parties. The reaction of the majority, except for the PP, has been to form a health cord with the aim of limiting the influence of the far right and isolates Vox from the Catalan political debate.
The anti -fascist covenant: a new political paradigm
This legislature has seen the expansion of what has been called ‘anti -fascist pact’, which also includes also Catalan alliance. This strategy seeks not only to curb Vox’s activity, but also to modify political dynamics in Parliament, thus limiting the space for debate and the participation of citizens.
Impact on requests commission
One of the most visible effects of this blockade is the paralysis of the Petition Commission, which has the responsibility of managing the applications of citizens. According to Vox, the body has been stopped for months, with the rest of the parties refusing to accept its legitimacy to chair the commission.
Current Situation of the Commission
Following the resignation of the President, Ennatu Domingo de Junts, the commission’s management was awarded to Vox, who proposed Mónica Lora as new president. However, the meeting on November 5 to validate this election did not get a quorum, and the next session of November 28 was boycotted, leaving the commission without operation.
A violated right: People’s requests
From the creation of the Commission in July, up to 27 requests have been in a bureaucratic limbo, without being able to be submitted. Vox has reported that this situation not only violates parliamentary regulations, but also against the constitutional rights of citizens to file their demands.
Reactions and allegations
The party has warned that the Bureau of Parliament is collaborating on this blockade, which not only affects Vox, but also limits the political participation of citizens. Vox sources have stated: ‘This situation not only restricts our right to participate, but also violates the right of request for citizens.’
Final reflections on democracy
The current situation in the Parliament of Catalonia raises fundamental issues on democracy and political inclusivity. As parties position themselves, it is vital that the space for dialogue and citizen participation is preserved, without exclusions or blockages that affect the operation of institutions.
