• Infrastructures The political clash knocks down the expansion of El Prat that united the economic powers at the doors of the dialogue table

  • Catalonia Aragonès announces that the dialogue table will be next Thursday or Friday and that the decision of El Prat will not come "for free" to the Government

The Government has appointed five ministers to be part of its delegation at the dialogue table with the Generalitat, this next week, waiting to know whether the chief executive, Pedro Sánchez, will also attend or not.

The meeting will take place in Barcelona on Thursday or Friday and will allow to dust off an instrument that emerged from the agreement between

ERC

and the

PSOE

for the investiture of Sánchez, but which only met once, in February 2020, before being parked weeks later due to the coronavirus health emergency.

Pending that Sánchez clears the question about whether or not he will attend the meeting, for the moment the Government - through the Minister of the Presidency,

Félix Bolaños

, in an interview with eldiario.es - has already made public the names of the ministers who They will be present.

They will be Bolaños himself,

Isabel Rodríguez

(Territorial Policy) and

Miquel Iceta

(Culture), as well as Vice President

Yolanda Díaz

and

Manuel Castells

(Universities).

There will, therefore, be two Catalan ministers sitting on the side of the Government, who will face a delegation from the Generalitat that has yet to be defined due to

JxCat's

doubts

.

It is certain that the Government delegation will be headed by the President of the Generalitat,

Pere Aragonès,

together with ERC councilors such as

Laura Vilagrà

and

Roger Torrent.

On the part of JxCat, it is foreseeable that the vice president of the Government,

Jordi Puigneró, will be there,

but his formation is reluctant to confirm their names while waiting to know if Sánchez will attend or not.

Iceta, in an interview in

La Vanguardia

, explained that Sánchez "asked" him to join the dialogue table, although he has avoided revealing whether the chief executive will also participate in the meeting: "This will be decided by the president," he indicated.

At the table, Iceta said, the Government will raise its agenda for the reunion, with a "very pragmatic approach, very down to earth", with "concrete proposals to solve concrete problems", in the face of the pandemic and for the recovery economical.

Aragonès, according to Iceta, has "full legitimacy and the right" to request amnesty and self-determination, "but you already know that we do not agree on these issues."

Bolaños also stressed that the referendum claimed by the Government is not the solution to the Catalan conflict: "The solution is for Catalonia to meet again and for it to be clearly a place where the Catalans consider that they have common projects and shared objectives," he indicated.

For her part, one day after the Day of September 11, in which the independence movement again took to the streets, the former president of the Parliament

Carme Forcadell

has admitted that she was "very saddened" by the boos and shouts of "botifler" ( traitor) from pro-independence sectors to the president of ERC,

Oriol Junqueras

. "It hurt me, it hurt me," Forcadell said in Rac1.

Aragonès and ERC's commitment to the dialogue table collides with the deep reluctance of their government partners, JxCat, the

CUP

and the ANC, but it does have the endorsement of Forcadell. "Although I am very skeptical about the dialogue table, I believe that the independence movement should never abandon the banner of dialogue, it has to be ours. Without negotiation there is no conflict resolution," he stressed.

For their part, the Vox spokesperson in Parliament,

Joan Garriga

, and the deputy spokesperson,

Antonio Gallego

, visited the headquarters of the Higher Police Headquarters in Barcelona this Sunday to express their support for the body after the incidents in Via Laietana and to condemn the "attacks of separatism" during the Diada.

The Mossos d'Esquadra detained two people on Saturday, after groups of independentistas threw objects, paint, smoke cans, fences and emptied a fire extinguisher against the agents who were guarding the headquarters of the Police Headquarters in Via Laietana, at the end of the manifestation of the Diada.
