Jéssica Albiach’s demand for leadership
The leader of En Comú Podem, Jéssica Albiach, has urged President Pere Aragonès to assume leadership and responsibility in the Generalitat’s budget negotiations. Only 24 hours before the debate and vote in Parliament, Albiach regrets the lack of communication with Aragonès during the last three weeks and expects a call from him.
Rejection of blackmail and insistence on a public commitment
Albiach ruled out the possibility of allowing budgets to be processed tomorrow, stressing the need for a public commitment to stop the Hard Rock project, which includes the PSC. In addition, he has stated that he will not accept any kind of blackmail in this matter.
Negotiations stalled by the Hard Rock urban master plan
Negotiations remain stuck due to the urban master plan of the Hard Rock, which the commons demand to be paralyzed as an indispensable condition. Albiach highlights the need for an explicit commitment to stop this project, since once approved, it would be very difficult to reverse the situation.
Criticism of ERC and warning about PSC conditions
Albiach has criticized ERC for being prepared to leave Catalonia without budgets due to a condition imposed by the PSC. He has warned that they will not accept solutions that they consider hair pulling and that are not linked to the interests of Salvador Illa, leader of the PSC.
Evaluation of budgets and commitment in negotiations
Albiach has expressed his dissatisfaction with the budgets, considering them unambitious and missing several important issues such as the sixth hour and air conditioning in schools, as well as the regulation of seasonal rentals.
Determination in negotiation and rejection of pressures
Despite the determination to continue the negotiations until the last moment, Albiach has expressed his concern at the pressures received, especially from ERC, which has warned about the consequences for the general budgets of the State if it is not allows the approval of the budgets of the Generalitat.
conclusion
Albiach has reiterated his readiness to continue looking for an agreement, but has made it clear that the last few weeks have not been too hopeful. He has stressed his refusal to be pressured or blackmailed, stating that they are open to negotiation but will not accept impositions.
