Ultimatum from Colau to Collboni: if there is no government agreement in 30 days, the budgets will be brought down

Ultimatum of the formation led by former mayor Ada Colau to the government of Mayor Jaume Collboni. The commons will not stop the processing of the socialist proposal for municipal budgets in the extraordinary Economy Commission to be held tomorrow, Tuesday. But if they do not sign a government pact in 30 days, they will be overthrown at the time of the final vote.

It has just been explained by the spokesperson for the BComú municipal group, Janet Sanz. “This is the last opportunity we are giving to Mayor Collboni's government,” Sanz stressed at the Commons headquarters. Nobody considers that the budgets can move forward if it is not at the hands of a left-wing and progressive government. "It's what the city needs."

The common people understand that the ERC councilors must also join this left-wing government. In fact, Sanz has also just insisted on this aspect. In this way, the new executive would have a clear majority of councilors that would multiply his governing capacity. At this time, the socialist executive barely has the support of its ten councilors.

A few days ago, Mayor Collboni himself put the approval of his municipal budget proposal back on the table, accounts that were already rejected by the groups a few months ago. He then convened an extraordinary Economic Commission and implied that the opposition, once again stopping them, would get them through this spring through a matter of trust.

Both BComú and Junts were very critical of the mayor's ways, and pointed out that what the socialists had to do is decide who they want to govern with, what type of policies they want to carry out, and that then they will see how to shape them. into concrete measures through the definition of municipal budgets.

In recent weeks, the Socialists and Republicans have increased their contacts with the aim of sealing a government pact, but these conversations have not yet materialized into any concrete agreement. These days, however, while BComú and Junts publicly redoubled their pressure on the Collboni government, those of ERC preferred to remain very discreet. This afternoon they will hold a press conference.
