The meetings for mend the hole of the summit of drought continue with a few hours left before the vote on the joint law proposal that intends to amend the decree of measures of the Government that is now in force. For now, the agreement between the post-convergents, the PSC and ERC is partial. There is agreement on the formula and the criteria for aid to municipalities that fail to comply with the restrictions live with the finesbut the three parties are stuck especially in the investment portfolio that they consider necessary to face water scarcity.
The first thing to get back on track was the controversial sanctions regime to the municipalities that prevented consensus at the summit on March 31. Junts asked for a moratorium until July and the Socialists either eliminate it or postpone it until September while the Government advocated keeping it in force as a “deterrent”. The Solomonic solution that the three parties buy is that the warnings be activated at the same time as the help line to solve water leaks and that they be applied if within a month Those who fail to comply have not expressed any desire to solve their non-compliance.
With this issue practically solved, the knot is now in the investments. “Where we are stuck is in investments what is there to do. There is a very great distance and we cannot support an amendment that falls very short,” they say from the socialist ranks about the investment approach made by ERC. However, the Republicans They deny that there is a “conflict” for this issue that the three parties are still talking about.
