ERC Government parks the referendum for management in the final stretch of Pere Aragonès' mandate in the Generalitat.

The meeting of the president of the Generalitat,
Pere Aragonès
, with the leader of
En Comú Podem
in the Parliament,
Jéssica Albiach
, to negotiate the 2024 regional
budgets
has ended without an agreement a few hours before the start of the debate on the entire project that will be will be held in the House this Wednesday.
Both parties indicate that the conversations remain open until the moment of the vote in the plenary session, which will begin at nine in the morning and will address the
amendments to the entirety
presented by the
commons
and also by
Junts
,
Vox
,
CUP
,
Ciudadanos
and
PP
.
In this way, Aragonès faces the first procedure to approve his last accounts of the legislature with the sole support of the
PSC
.
The sum of the deputies of
Esquerra Republicana
and the socialists is two votes short of the absolute majority (
68
), so the contest of En Comú Podem is essential unless the Catalan president accepts the conditions that Junts demands to give his
yes
, among which the elimination of the
Inheritance tax
stands out .
The
commons , for now, will not give in if the Government does not commit to paralyzing the construction project of the
Hard Rock Entertainment World
leisure and gambling macro complex
in the province of
Tarragona
, between the municipalities of
Vila
-
seca
and
Salou
.
Carles Puigdemont
So far, the Parliament has overturned regional budgets only once, those presented in 2016 by the Executive of
Carles Puigdemont
, who failed to get the CUP to withdraw its amendment in its entirety.
Instead of going back to square one and preparing a new budget project, the then
president
decided to submit to a
question of confidence
in which, to gain the support of the anti-capitalist party, he committed to organizing a
self-determination referendum
in 2017.
