A critical look at Government’s first Any
In a recent session in Parliament, the Popular Party (PP) has presented an incisive analysis of the first year of the legislature under the direction of Salvador Illa. Popular spokesman Juan Fernández has expressed his concern for the state of Catalonia, saying that the region is in a decline and that promises of change have not materialized.
The six Errors prominent by the PP
Fernández has listed a series of failures that he considers fundamental in island management, pointing to the lack of significant changes in key areas such as security, economics and education.
Increasing insecurity
One of the most alarming points is the increase in crime. The deputy emphasized that Catalonia has registered the highest levels of crime in years, with violent incidents that affect the daily life of the citizens.
Stagnant economy
In terms of the economy, the PP criticizes the lack of innovation and courage to implement measures that can revitalize the business fabric and reduce the tax burden on citizens.
Paralyzing bureaucracy
The Government is accused of being too cautious, without addressing the necessary adjustments to the administrative macrostructure, resulting in a system that slows efficiency and consumes public resources.
Decline education
In the educational field, the PP states that current policies have led to a decrease in educational quality, with results that are much to be desired and a unmotivated teaching staff.
Forgotten infrastructure
In addition, the lack of strategic vision in the development of key infrastructure has been another of the points of criticism, with important projects such as the extension of the airport or the fourth belt without moving forward.
Continuity of policies
Finally, Fernández has lamented that the island government is a continuation of the policies of the previous independence governments, without offering a real alternative to the citizenry.
PSC’s response to criticism
In response to the PP’s allegations, the PSC has defended its management, emphasizing the successes in the economy, housing, security and improvement of public services.
Economic and labor success
The Minister of the Presidency, Albert Dalmau, emphasized that Catalonia has seen significant economic growth, with an increase in the number of companies and a decrease in unemployment.
Improvements in security
He also emphasized that criminality has decreased by 6% this year, thanks to the measures taken by the Government.
Final reflections
Both positions reflect the political tensions in Catalonia. The balance of the island government will continue to be a topic of intense debate, while citizens expect tangible results that respond to their daily needs.
