The Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, has urged that Spain reactivate the so-called Iberian exception in the energy sector and the electricity bonus, and that an extension of rental contracts be approved in addition, given a possible rise in the CPI derived from the war in Iran.

In a press conference held this Friday, he has highlighted the “brave gesture of Spain's progressive Government” by opposing the attack by the United States and Israel, and has reproached PP and Vox for maintaining a subordinate stance to the American president, Donald Trump, in contrast to the autonomous position that, he assures, the Executive maintains.

Urtasun has also demanded from the president of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, that he convene parties, unions and representatives of civil society in order to express “the rejection of the Catalan people of the war of aggression” and open a dialogue on the measures to be adopted to protect families from the effects of the conflict.
