"What we are saying to the Government is to propose something". The president of the En Comú Podem parliamentary group, Jéssica Albiach, demanded yesterday from the Catalan Executive to put on the table a solution to the existing blockage in the negotiation of this year's budgets as a result of the controversial Hard Rock project in Tarragona. A solution that, for the time being, for the common people only happens because the Government discards the project and the urban master plan does not see the light of day, while the Government limits itself to warning of the economic consequences it would entail, through the claims of investors .
President Pere Aragonès yesterday once again distanced himself from a project that "depends on private investors, not the Government", and which is the legacy of a "political decision that was already taken in 2014 in Parliament". The head of the Government came to say that his margin of action is narrowed by the fact that "if we now decide, politically, to backtrack, we would have to face some [economic] claims for sure, which we would then see if they are right or not no".
Albiach responded by assuring that if the project is stopped, no compensation should be paid to the investors because "the PDU was suspended when it was appealed to the Superior Court of Justice and, therefore, the contract was extinguished". The leader again demanded Aragonès "to lead because "he is not a manager, he is the president", and "now he is not leading, he is not making proposals, he just says that he can do absolutely nothing, but really if he wants it is possible", he affirmed.
The commons believe that the resolution approved in Parliament last week that conditions tourism urban plans in the context of drought could be a way out of the grievance, but for the moment "if it is an airstrip they have not yet communicated it to us", he lamented Albiach.
For his part, Aragonès was convinced that he will reach "an agreement with the commons or whoever", and he assured that they are holding "conversations with Junts and the CUP".
