• Plenary session.Barcelona will study taking away the Gold Medal from the King Emeritus

The Barcelona City Council will withdraw the Gold Medal it awarded to Juan Carlos I in 1992, a year of historical relevance for the city as it is the venue for the Olympic Games.

The 15 votes in favor of the councilors of Esquerra Republicana and Junts per Catalunya have been enough to approve the proposal that these two same groups took to the municipal plenary session on the occasion of the transfer of residence of the King Emeritus outside of Spain after the information published on the alleged practices illegal activities committed by the previous Head of State.

The text presented by the independentistas has been opposed by 14 councilors (the eight from the PSC, the four from Ciudadanos and the two from the PP), while Barcelona en Comú, the party of the mayor Ada Colau, has opted for the abstention of its 10 ediles. The absence in protest of Manuel Valls and Eva Parera, the other Barcelona councilor pel Canvi, has also finally been a key factor for the sum of yeses to exceed the negative votes.

Unlike the PSC, which is also part of the municipal government team, Colau has been in favor of holding a debate of these characteristics, but has justified the abstention of the commons due to the refusal of ERC and JxCat to withdraw a point from the Motion against the Spanish Executive. Specifically, the text accuses the Cabinet chaired by Pedro Sánchez of "active complicity in the clandestine departure" of Juan Carlos I and, for this reason, it condemns the Executive of the PSOE and United We Can.

The mayor has reproached the independentistas for their "electoral policy" and has assured that "as a republican group" they wanted to vote in favor, but the reluctance of Esquerra and Junts per Catalunya to withdraw that point has shown, in her opinion, that "the objective The main "of the extraordinary plenary session was" to stress the Government.
