The spokesperson for Junts in Parliament, Salvador Vergés, has described as electioneering and "ethically unacceptable" the holding this Thursday of the Generalitat-State Bilateral Commission, scheduled just a few hours before the official start of the general election campaign on November 29.
"Beyond the fact that it is legal, it’s the same. Ethically, the Govern cannot intend to hold a Bilateral at the last minute, right before the campaign begins. Anyone with two brain cells can see that here there is a political and electioneering maneuver", he said in statements to the media after leaving the prior meeting that the Govern held with the groups.
That same Thursday, the president of Junts in Parliament, Mònica Sales, sent a letter to the president of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, in which she demanded that the Bilateral Commission be postponed until after the electoral call of November 29.
Shortly before entering the preparatory meeting, Vergés has explained that the Govern told them that the Bilateral would go ahead, a meeting which, in his view, only serves the Generalitat "to show off agreements that it is already known will be breached".
"Because these bilateral meetings, more than bilateral agreements, are bilateral breaches", Vergés stated, citing as an example the absence of progress on commitments already agreed upon, such as the assumption of new powers in the IRPF and the work to specify the amounts pending under the third additional provision of the Estatut.
Junts accuses the PSOE of making "hot air and more propaganda"
"HOT AIR AND MORE PROPAGANDA"
After first demanding that the agreements reached in previous meetings be carried out, Vergés considers that the initiatives proposed this Thursday at the negotiation table are "hot air and more propaganda from the Partido Socialista".
"We want everything. As long as we don’t have independence, we want all powers and resources to come to Catalunya", Vergés demanded when asked about some of the matters that will be discussed in the Bilateral regarding infrastructures.
