Jaume Collboni today appealed to the responsibility of the municipal groups of Barcelona City Council to approve, in the plenary session on March 22, the budgets of the Consistory for this year. The socialist mayor, who already has a closed agreement with ERC, needs the votes of Barcelona en Comú or Trias per Barcelona to carry out the forecast of accounts for this year (about 3,800 million euros) without having to resort to the formula of the question of trust, which today seems inevitable given the deep division between the PSC and the commons led by the former mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau.
Collboni appeared a few minutes ago to read an institutional statement on the advancement of the Parliament elections to May 12 as a result of En Comú Podem's refusal to support the project agreed upon by ERC with the PSC.
The mayor has warned that the non-approval of the Generalitat's budgets will have negative consequences in Barcelona, since the city will stop receiving some 65 million euros that were going to be allocated to essential policies in matters such as housing, security, infrastructure or education.
We cannot lose any opportunity due to partisan interests and political irresponsibility of some," said Collboni, alluding to the attitude of the common people, whom he has deliberately not mentioned at any time.
The mayor of Barcelona has confirmed his intention to continue with the processing of the municipal budget and put it to a vote in the plenary session on March 22. He has insisted on the need for opposition groups to exercise responsibility and vote on the budget that "Barcelona needs."
Collboni has assured that he is willing to negotiate the proposals of these groups until the last minute and has therefore avoided referring to the question of trust to which, almost certainly, he will end up submitting if next week he has not managed to obtain support. necessary.
