The four motions, scheduled for a vote in the plenary session next week, have enough support to pass thanks to the announced vote of the entire opposition, with the exception of the Comuns. This unified backing anticipates that the points censuring the Government's management and demanding the Minister's dismissal will move forward.
Although the demand for Paneque's resignation is not binding —the final decision rests with President Salvador Illa—, such a pronouncement by the Chamber significantly increases political pressure. The Minister was previously censured in March of last year for similar reasons. The Parliament will also demand the resignation of the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, and the top executives of Renfe and Adif.
The opposition's criticisms, voiced this Tuesday in the press room, no longer focus solely on the recurrent breakdowns in the Rodalies service, but rather on the repeated failure of the Generalitat's promises to restore normalcy as soon as possible. The parties directly blame Paneque for these unfulfilled pledges.
“"She is not doing what she should. They have made many announcements and have not guaranteed the return of mobility."
Facing the opposition's unity, Paneque's only defense comes from her own party, the PSC. Socialist spokesperson Elena Díaz stated that the Minister has “full confidence and total support” from the parliamentary group, arguing that the Rodalies situation is the result of “structural underinvestment” and not her management. Meanwhile, the opposition remains divided on solutions, with ERC advocating for a full transfer of management, Junts and the CUP questioning the process, and the PP and Vox staunchly opposing any transfer.
