ERC believes that the Government is selling smoke, both with regard to the landing in Barcelona of up to six ministers this weekend coinciding with the Sant Jordi day, and the measures it is announcing, especially in terms of housing. "They come to walk around here as if Catalonia were a branch, a subsidiary, when they should comply with the service to the citizenry," said the Esquerra spokeswoman, Marta Vilalta, this afternoon. Some visits, in the opinion of the Republicans, with which Moncloa tries to make up the "fake" ads on housing and its supposed management to face the drought.
For those of Oriol Junqueras, Pedro Sánchez wants to "do business with the rights of citizens" when he announces that he will make thousands of Sareb homes available for rent at affordable prices. It is a criticism that is shared by a large part of the opposition in Congress, but the Republicans have influenced the idea that the Government "will make pay for a second time" some apartments that were acquired with the bank rescue of 2012. "With public money" , Vilalta recalled, "and wants the town halls to pay again for the same".
"You cannot speculate with the right to housing. All Sareb properties must be made available to the public," added Vilalta, while also assuring that the Sánchez government is acting due to an electoral emergency and not so much due to an emergency housing.
At this point, Vilalta has charged against the PSC. The person in charge of housing matters is the Catalan minister Raquel Sánchez and she has accused the Catalan socialists of acting "with carelessness". Also managing Rodalies. "The trains suffer incidents, delays and cancellations. The only relevant management that the PSC has in Catalonia is a disaster," stressed the ERC spokesperson.
ERC's criticism comes as the housing law is scheduled to pass this week in Congress. A norm that led the republicans along with EH Bildu. It arises from a pact between the two formations with the Government, so it is assumed, in the absence of studying the amendments, that it will be endorsed.
However, Vilalta has not only attacked the PSOE for the announcements about the making available of the Sareb flats. He has also reproached him for the fact that, as head of the Ebro Basin Hydrographic Confederation, he "turned off the tap" of the water for the Canal d'Urgell. Starting tomorrow, farmers will have no water for irrigation. The Republicans have reproached Sánchez for what has been, in their opinion, a lack of foresight regarding the drought. But he has also received the PSC, since, according to Vilalta, he has dedicated himself to constantly criticizing the management of the Government of the Generalitat on the drought in the Catalan internal basins, these yes, which are under the command of the Catalan Executive.
