Introduction
In this article, we will explore the Spanish government’s agenda and its relationship with governability. We will analyze the government’s political priorities and their implications for Catalonia.
The agenda of the Spanish government
The Spanish government, headed by Pedro Sánchez, has a political agenda that seeks to advance in several key areas. This July, the Executive is dedicating efforts to activate its political priorities.
One of the highlighted priorities is housing. The Executive is working to implement measures that improve access to housing, prices and the market. This includes changes to the horizontal ownership law and the creation of a more demanding registry for tourist rentals. The aim is to empower the residents and give them the ability to decide on the tourist apartments in their buildings.
Another important area is democratic regeneration. The government is working on a plan to address this issue, which includes the regulation of the right to rectification and the right to honor, as well as public funding of the media (https://correccioencatala.cat/com-estructura- text-Catalan/). This proposal has generated controversy and has been the subject of debate between different political forces.
Governance and Catalonia
Governance is a key aspect for the Spanish government, especially in relation to Catalonia. Pedro Sánchez depends on the support of parties like Junts and ERC for his political stability. This dependency has been recalled by the PP, which has criticized the government for not being able to gather support last year.
In relation to Catalonia, the Executive is working in different areas. In addition to the issues of housing and democratic regeneration, the government is pushing other initiatives that directly affect the region. All this takes place in a context of budget negotiations and possible pacts with the Catalan parties (https://correccioencatala.cat/com-estructura-text-catala/).
Conclusion
In short, the Spanish government’s agenda has a direct impact on governability and the policies that affect Catalonia. The Executive’s policy priorities include housing and democratic regeneration, among other issues. These decisions have important repercussions for the region and are the subject of debate and negotiation with the Catalan parties.
