The commons have rejected this morning the last and umpteenth offer of the Government on the Hard Rock leisure and tourism project to have their vote this Wednesday in the debate on all the budgets of the Generalitat that is held in the Parliament and that are necessary to continue with its processing.
According to a document that the Catalan Executive has transferred to the En Comú Podem group - and that in the title, by mistake, the 2014 budgets are mentioned instead of those for 2024 -, the Government would commit to studying a moratorium on the development of urban projects in the tourism sector such as the Hard Rock, the main obstacle to an agreement between the commons and the Government of Pere Aragonès and the threat that hangs over the accounts, as long as there is a drought.
The Commons, through their deputy David Cid, have already rejected this proposal, considering that it is not actually a moratorium, since, in their opinion, it would not affect the Hard Rock. It is an offer that "neither bothers the PSC nor the investors" of the project, according to Cid on the social network "Whether or not you want to do Hard Rock, this is the question," says Cid.
Expanding on the rejection of the offer, the spokesperson for the commons in Congress Aina Vidal has said in the corridors of the Lower House that what the Government offers them about Hard Rock seems to them "a joke" and also about the contacts between Esquerra and the leader of Sumar, Yolanda Díaz, have warned that they "do not conceive" that ERC could condition the Spanish budgets in response to their refusal to support the Catalans in what they have called "marketing." Díaz herself has assured that the common people are autonomous in making their own decisions.
Specifically, the Government's offer is the commitment to study compliance with a point of a Parliament resolution on climate change and the drought situation that proposes "stopping any modification of urban planning in the tourism sector that involves mobilizing water resources by above 100 liters per person per day until water consumption in the primary and industrial sector is not guaranteed, and ensure that, once the drought is over, modifications or urban developments require a mandatory and binding report on the viability of consumption “water.”
Likewise, the Government undertakes to initiate the processing of a draft decree to establish "new criteria for game planning, the adoption of measures to guarantee safe gaming and the modification of the different regulations regarding gaming", according to a document that The Government has sent it to the common people.
The Government also undertakes to present a bill to modify the tax rate applicable to casinos, an offer that was already presented to the commons on Monday and that Jéssica Albiach herself rejected because it would not go ahead without the help of the PSC.
