The agreement for the constitution of a progressive Board of the Congress of Deputies is close. Both Junts and ERC sources assure that the agreement so that Francina Armengol can be appointed president of the Lower House is only pending a few details. The post-convergents reach a pre-agreement to investigate the attacks of August 17 and 18, 2017 in Barcelona and Cambrils and the espionage with Pegasus, in addition to the use of Catalan in the Lower House "ipso facto", without waiting for the adaptation of technical means.
However, Junts is waiting to confirm a fourth "more important" issue that they have not specified and that if the PSOE does not comply, warn the post-convergents, it would tilt the vote for the Table towards abstention or a null vote.
The Junts executive met this morning shortly before it meets in Madrid at 10 in the morning in the starting session of the legislature.
The former president of the Generalitat, Carles Puigdemont, who has played a key role in the talks that have culminated in this pre-agreement, claimed yesterday through a statement made public on his X account, he asked the Prime Minister for "verifiable facts" to say yes to the socialists.
The decision of both formations now opens the stage of the investiture. Both ERC and Junts have stressed that the agreement on the table does not imply an agreement on their support for the investiture of Pedro Sánchez, but, in any case, the majority in votes obtained by Armengol places Feijóo in a position of weakness with respect to his aspirations to be the first to present his candidacy before the Chamber.
