The president of ERC has reiterated the necessity of establishing a joint Investment Consortium between the State and the Generalitat. According to the republican leader, this tool is fundamental for ensuring public investments in infrastructure, especially in the railway sector, in Catalonia. He lamented that there are political actors hindering the implementation of such crucial initiatives for the country's development.

These statements were made in Barcelona, shortly before the May Day demonstration, and come after Junts rejected in the Congress of Deputies the processing of ERC's bill to create this consortium. The ERC president also condemned the threats made by a Vox deputy in the Parliament against a republican deputy, recalling historical precedents of trials for similar attacks.

For its part, Junts has expressed its disagreement with the “revenue-seeking drive” of both the Catalan Government and the Central Government, and has called for a reduction in tax pressure on citizens and businesses. In a manifesto, the party argued that the current tax burden “suffocates” the capacity for saving and investment of Catalans, negatively affecting the purchasing power of middle and working classes. They pointed to the president of the Generalitat for promoting “erroneous policies” that, according to them, hinder the dynamism of the labor market and have led to mobilizations by professionals such as teachers, doctors, and farmers.

Additionally, the Senate Bureau has decided not to admit for processing a bill from Junts that sought to establish its own university district in Catalonia. The decision is based on the consideration that the proposal “violates” several articles of the Spanish Constitution.
