Lluïsa Moret will be number two of the PSC
This weekend’s PSC congress has revealed the first details of the party’s new executive. As reported by El Periódico and confirmed by Nació, Lluïsa Moret, current president of the Provincial Council of Barcelona and Secretary of Organization, will be number two of the PSC, occupying the position of first deputy secretary. This will make her the right hand of Salvador Illa, who will be ratified as first secretary in this congress.
The outstanding role of Lluïsa Moret
Lluïsa Moret is a prominent figure within the PSC and the red belt. In the last municipal elections, he managed to consolidate an absolute majority in the Sant Boi de Llobregat City Council, allowing him to govern comfortably. In addition, she was appointed president of the Diputació de Barcelona following the agreement between the PSC, ERC and two rebellious deputies from Junts. In the party, he has played a central role in the preparation of the municipal and Spanish elections, with socialist victories in both.
The Congress of the PSC and other outstanding issues
The PSC congress, which will take place this weekend, comes at a key moment, with the amnesty and the Catalan budgets as important topics. Although the amnesty is about to be approved in Congress, there is still uncertainty about the budgets, since the agreement between the Government and the PSC is not enough and the votes of the commons are needed. Negotiating teams are working until the last minute to reach an agreement before the debate on Wednesday.
A placid congress with an outstanding presence
The PSC congress will be a peaceful event, with no alternative candidates for the leadership of Salvador Illa. The inauguration ceremony will be headed by Jaume Collboni, mayor of Barcelona, and will be attended by ex-president Zapatero and Iratxe García, president of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament. During the congress, management will take stock and the resolution proposals on the political proposal for Catalonia and other internal organization issues will be debated.
Conclusions and closing of the congress
On Sunday, the new executive of the PSC will be presented and voted on, and the congress will close with speeches by Pedro Sánchez and Salvador Illa. During Sunday’s plenary, the conclusions will be presented, which will serve as a reference for the party. The political presentation will discuss the ideological lines of the party and propose a proposal for Catalonia based on sustainable development.
