The PSC demands that the Government of the Generalitat open to negotiations on the restructuring decree of the Mossos d'Esquadra, the content of which has been revealed by La Vanguardia. The socialist formation is strongly opposed to the text since it considers that it is an "abuse of its position" by the Executive of Pere Aragonès. In addition, he calls it "outrageous" that wiretapping ceases to depend on the general police station of the judicial police.
At a press conference, the PSC spokesperson, Èlia Tortolero, regretted that there is no option to vote on the text (as it is a government decree), because she believes that "it would not pass through the filter" of the Parliament. The socialist opposition to the reorganization of the Catalan police can be explained by two main issues: on the one hand, the expansion of the command structure (they have increased by a hundred) and, on the other, the "loss of democratic quality".
This is reflected, in his opinion, with changes such as the fact that telephone tapping is now in charge of a new technical police station (that of information and communication technologies).
For the PSC, this decree is "inadmissible" and, thus, summons the Government of Aragonès to leave it "on the table" and sit down to talk. "We ask you to reflect," Tortolero said.
On the other hand, the socialist spokesperson has also charged the Executive for managing the drought. She has announced that she will demand that the decree in this area be processed as a bill, which would allow parliamentary groups to introduce amendments in the Catalan chamber. Likewise, she has highlighted her "outstretched hand" to Aragonès to collaborate in the fight against the drought - Tortolero has explained that Salvador Illa sent her a letter from which she has not yet received a response - but has demanded that she "take the initiative" .
The PSC spokesperson has censured the "inaction" of the Generalitat in relation to the drought "in the last ten years" and also recently. "If they had called the summit against the drought months ago, we would have already taken action," lamented Tortolero. The Socialists distance themselves from the content of the decree because, among other reasons, in their opinion it "transfers the responsibilities" of what happened to the municipalities.
On the visit of the Pegasus commission of the European Parliament in Madrid and the complaints of the pro-independence parties about the attitude of the Spanish Government (no minister will receive the delegation of MEPs), the PSC is "satisfied" that he is the Secretary of State for European Affairs, Pascual Navarro, who leads the reception.
