The proposal to reform the Parliament's regulations that the PSC promoted a few weeks ago has been knocked down by the plenary session of the Catalan Chamber this Wednesday afternoon in the debate to the entirety.
At the same time that the Central Electoral Board was meeting in the Congress of Deputies to settle the future of the suspended president of the institution, Laura Borràs, the initiative registered by the Socialists to modify the regulations was debated in Parliament, and that if approved, it would have allowed Borràs to be removed from the presidency of the Chamber, which with it suspended entered an interim situation last July.
The PSC proposed that the president of the institution or any member of the Board of Parliament can be dismissed if two groups or a fifth of the deputies request it and the Chamber agrees by an absolute majority. If the measure were successful, a replacement in the presidency of the Chamber could have been immediately dealt with.
However, the amendment to the totality that Junts per Catalunya proposed has been approved with 75 votes in favour, 41 against and 14 abstentions, therefore the initiative that those of Salvador Illa registered after the condemnation of Borràs and his refusal to resign it has remained on wet paper. Of course, the debate has served for several groups to charge against the leader of JxCat, who was present in the chamber, in the guest area, as usual since she was suspended.
In the same debate, another proposal to modify the regulation was addressed, one promoted by the Esquerra Republicana and the CUP and which, among other issues, plans to regulate electronic voting - and that the members of the Bureau do not get into trouble after the rulings of the Constitutional Court that have annulled the delegated vote of former minister Lluís Puig–. This second initiative will continue its course in the parliamentary process after the amendment to the entirety that Vox registered has been rejected.
After the last ruling –from a few weeks ago– of the Constitutional Court on Puig's delegated vote, which had already been annulled last year and his delegation was accepted again, the Board decided to allow the Junts deputy to vote independently telematics temporarily, while the reform of the republicans and the anti-capitalists is approved. But since this option is not yet regulated, the PSC has filed an appeal before the High Court.
