One year at the head of Parliament
Anna Erra, who has held relevant positions as President of the Parliament of Catalonia and Mayor of Vic, shared her recent experience in an interview on EL 9 TV. Although his time at the helm of Parliament was brief, Erra reflects on the lessons learned and his vision of the current political landscape.
The fall of the pro -independence majority
In the context of the last election, Erra expresses his concern about the loss of the independence majority, a fact that he considers a great reverse for the movement. In addition, it emphasizes the situation of deputies in exile, which exemplifies the continuity of political persecution against the Catalan movement.
The new parliamentary presidency
On the recent election of Josep Rull as President of the House, Erra expresses his satisfaction, recognizing the symbolic importance of his return after his arrest for the 1-O referendum. Its designation, according to Erra, represents an honor for the institution.
Valuing the current government
Regarding the governance of Salvador Illa, Erra maintains that it is still early to issue a definitive judgment, but does not hesitate to describe the government as a weak and dependent on Madrid. This lack of leadership, according to her, became apparent in crisis situations, such as the general blackout that affected the population.
Proposals for Osona and Lluçanès
Junts deputies work on various initiatives for their region, focused on aspects such as the improvement of commuter services and the response to local needs, such as the construction of a new towards Vic. Erra emphasizes the importance of having a good healthcare equipment to deal with the increase in population.
Vic and its population growth
With Vic surpassing 50,000 inhabitants, Erra expresses his concern about the capacity of the city to respond to this growth. The lack of appropriate infrastructure and services could be a challenge if it is not effectively addressed.
Equipment needed for the city
In addition to the health services, Erra points to the need for courts and residences for the elderly, an increasingly urgent topic as the population is aging. Demographic changes will require special attention to public policies.
The capital of Vic and Manresa
The debate on the capital between Vic and Manresa returns to La Palestra, and Erra defends the idea of having two strong cities in Central Catalonia. This diversity of capitals provides a wealth that benefits the entire region, as has been shown by joint projects.
Reflections on her term as mayor
Over time, Erra reflects on her priorities as mayor, acknowledging that she was pending a commitment to create a new court and improve the conditions for the elderly. However, she is proud of the advances in education and the creation of the library.
The Together Convention and the Housing Debate
Recently, Vic was the scene of a convention of Together where the problem of illegal occupation of housing was addressed. Erra and other party members propose a record that balances rights and duties, arguing that social problems must be addressed without falling into a bonism that ignores reality.
Responding to criticism
In the face of accusations of changing the speech to adapt to the increase in alliance support, Erra says that his priority is to respond to the real needs of the municipalities. Its stance is based on the active listening of the demands of the mayors, with the aim of finding effective solutions.
