In the wake of Salvador Illa's recent appointment as President of the Generalitat, political tensions in Spain have escalated.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the People's Party (PP), has voiced strong criticism against the new government, claiming that the agreement between the Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSC) and the Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) undermines the Spanish Constitution.
Feijóo argues that this pact grants excessive power to Catalan independence movements, posing a national challenge.
He has announced plans to convene a meeting of regional leaders to address what he describes as a "national urgency.
" Feijóo also criticized the government's handling of Carles Puigdemont's brief return to Spain, blaming the administration for failing to prevent his escape.
The PP leader insists that the current political climate threatens Spain's unity and welfare state, urging socialist leaders to reject the proposed Catalan financial agreement.
