Junts per Catalunya will not sit down to talk about the budgets of the Generalitat with President Pere Aragonès if it does not first submit to a question of trust in the Parliament, a demand that the formation has raised openly since Saturday, after leaving the coalition of the Government last Friday.
"You cannot start the house from the roof," said the president of the JxCat parliamentary group, Albert Batet, on Tuesday, in response to the Esquerra Republicana's questions about his formation to validate the Catalan accounts, in which he had worked - and "he left very advanced", as Aragonès has said today – the former Minister of Economy and Hisenda, Jaume Giró. "It would not be understood that Junts did not support Junts' budgets", Aragonès stated this Tuesday at a press conference after the Consell Executiu meeting.
After leaving the Catalan Executive following the design of its militants, in Jordi Turull's party they demand that Aragonès call elections or submit to a matter of confidence, a parliamentary mechanism that leads to elections in the event that it is not overcome or the election of a new president of the Generalitat.
In Junts they argue that Aragonès "has changed the composition and orientation of the Government" and "it cannot be done as if nothing had happened". "It is a principle of political reality," Batet reasoned, advancing that "they will be more active than ever, in the face of a government that is weaker than ever."
The JxCat leader has also detailed that his formation plans to play a "constructive and proactive" opposition. "We will assert our 32 deputies," assured Batet, who has also announced that his formation is undertaking a round of meetings with social and economic agents and other civil society organizations and cultural entities to take the pulse of Catalonia at the national level. , territorial and sectoral. This same week Turull will meet with the president of the Pimec employers' association, Antoni Cañete.
