An Uninterrupted Police Dynamics
Catalonia is caught in a cycle of discontent, marked by the continuous demands of pro-independence parties and the lack of an effective response from the Spanish government. This situation has led to a stalemate that is not only not improving, but is worsening over time.
Parliament: A Space Without a Function
The fact that a government that has just started its mandate has not been able to pass the budget is a worrying sign. The management of 4.4 billion euros in credit supplements raises serious questions about the function of Parliament, which should be the main stage for the debate and approval of budgets.
The Loss of Legitimacy
Democratic legitimacy cannot be achieved with a single vote, but requires a continuous commitment to citizens. Failure to approve the budget should lead to the calling of elections, a process that seems to be forgotten today.
The Promises of Financing: A Mystery
For some time now, pro-independence parties have been in talks about the financing of Catalonia, an agreement that, despite being theoretically agreed, remains in the fog. The lack of transparency on this issue generates more doubts than answers.
The Rejection of the Concert Idea
Prominent figures such as Antoni Castellà have pointed out that the Spanish government has been inflexible regarding the idea of an economic agreement for Catalonia, a position that has already been accepted by ERC.
Debt as a Strategy
Catalonia continues to accumulate debt, with a new record of 8,481 million euros, adding to the 8,642 million of last year. This situation has raised the Generalitat’s total debt to 88,952 million euros, with a large part dedicated to paying off previous debts.
The Vicious Cycle of Debt
The paradox is obvious: we are going into debt to deal with existing debt, creating a cycle that seems endless. The promise of forgiving 20% of the debt of the Autonomous Liquidity Fund is an illusion that has already been shattered by the new debt generated.
The Inability to Agree on Solutions
Faced with this situation, Junts has threatened to bring forward the elections, but this position has lost credibility, as there has been no capacity to reach agreements with the opposition. The need to return to the popular vote is becoming increasingly evident as a solution to break this cycle of instability.
Catalonia is at a crucial moment, where decisions made now will determine the political and economic future of the region. The key to real change may lie in the ability to renew the trust of citizens through a government that knows how to manage current needs responsibly.
