Sánchez and Aragonès Push for Investiture Deal

Published: 2024-07-25

In a crucial meeting at the Palau de la Generalitat, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Catalan President Pere Aragonès discussed the ongoing negotiations for the investiture of Salvador Illa.

With a deadline approaching, both parties are eager to finalize an agreement that addresses key issues such as the transfer of the management of the Minimum Vital Income and the significant debt relief for Catalonia.

ERC, led by Marta Rovira, is pushing for the fulfillment of previous agreements before committing to support Illa's investiture.

The urgency is palpable as ERC aims to solidify its internal position and limit the influence of rival party Junts.

As negotiations progress, the focus remains on achieving a sustainable financial model for Catalonia, with the hope of reaching a consensus before the end of July.
