The Partido Popular has asserted this Wednesday, 11 November, its absolute majority in the Galician Chamber by pushing through on its own the two parliamentary commissions scheduled on the agenda of the Parliament of Galicia, in the absence of opposition deputies due to the day of the general strike.
Already on Tuesday, both PSdeG and BNG had advanced that they would support the strike called for this Wednesday and that they would not attend either the Commission 2ª, Territorial Planning, Public Works, Environment and Servizos, or the Commission 6ª, Industry, Enerxía, Trade and Tourism.
For his part, the deputy of Democracia Ourensana, Armando Ojea, has stated that he did not go to the Parliament because it was a local holiday in Ourense, with the celebration of San Martiño, and because he had events and commitments scheduled in his capacity as a councilor.
The chair of Commission 2ª, Carmen Pomar, has communicated that the required quorum was met and has detailed that, although two oral questions had been postponed at the initiative of the Socialist Group, the two matters registered by the PP have indeed been processed: one on housing policy and another relating to urban dog parks and the creation of the first Animal Protection Center in Galicia. Likewise, the non-legislative motions were not brought up for debate because the proposing group, the BNG, was not present.
Similarly, in Commission 6ª, Industry, Enerxía, Trade and Tourism, after verifying the existence of quorum, the commission chair, the conservative Cristina Sanz Arias, only the initiatives of the PPdeG were addressed: an oral question about wind energy and a bill on market stalls, which has been approved by "unanimity" thanks to the favorable vote of the nine PP deputies attending.
Sources from the Parliament of Galicia consulted by Europa Press have indicated that the activity of the day is carried out normally within the Chamber.
