• Catalonia The Government seeks the complicity of the independence movement to demand a referendum and amnesty at the dialogue table

"No pro-independence force should resign from going to defend what it wants, such as the right to self-determination." In this way, the president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès, has wanted to demand the unity of sovereign entities and parties to go to demand an agreed referendum and amnesty at the dialogue table with the Government next September. He did so in the face of the misgivings of his partners in the Government of JxCat and the CUP who consider that ERC can be strengthened by leading these meetings and reaching some kind of commitment in order to capitalize on the sovereign vote.

That is why Aragonès asked for the maximum involvement of "everyone" at this table, in which the Catalan delegation will lead, since the bases of negotiation with the State must be laid. That is why he considers it to be the "most difficult" encounter that Catalonia has faced in decades, which is why he asked for the support of all Catalan society to achieve "a step forward" on the road to independence, as he considers that the majority showed in the last regional elections.

After visiting the preventive, life-saving and adapted bathroom service of the Red Creu on Caldes d'Estrac beach, Aragonès remarked that he is waiting for Aena to finalize the Barcelona-El Prat Airport expansion master plan in September for give the green light to the project. "It will only be done if, from an environmental point of view, it makes it compatible with a global strategy to combat climate change and preservation of biodiversity," said the president who added that "we have not agreed on a specific expansion measure, but rather that it is unblocked a certain volume of investment ".

For this reason, he hopes that this extension can be agreed with the affected local administrations and with the Government, taking into account that the Government's investment must be with the maximum environmental demand and the maximum management capacity in Catalonia of the airport.

Precisely, the support of the Generalitat for the expansion of the airport may condition the progress of the regional budgets since the CUP has shown itself against the project.

Aragonès believes that "we are going to live up to maximum self-demand so that they are good budgets" in addition to approving them by a "broad consensus".

However, the CUP deputy in the Parliament Carles Riera once again considered this airport project as an "obstacle and a problem" for the negotiation of the Catalan budgets that the Government. "We see it with great concern and great concern, but we have not yet entered" into the accounts, said the deputy in

who considers that this project about El Prat, the 2030 Winter Olympics and the injection to the Circuit de Catalunya, " hinder "an agreement.

"There are no green airports, that is a lie. Let no one be fooled," said Riera, noting that the expansion is incompatible with the fight against climate change, because increasing air traffic implies more emissions.

Thus he remarked that working for the energy transition is "incompatible with atrocities such as those that are being considered" with the expansion of the Airport, the Winter Olympic Games and the injection to the Circuit de Catalunya to cover the losses of 2021.
