“Catalonia will have a new budget”. That’s how satisfied he started his institutional statement the president’ Pere Aragones. “Citizens and companies will have it. It is a step forward Hence my great satisfaction with the agreements reached. With the certainty that the project will have parliamentary support. Today we will approve the most ambitious budget, the most expansive, with 41,000 million. And the one that best responds to the needs of the citizenry: more investment, more work. More hospitals and more schools. More work“, he sentenced.
Aragonès reviewed the list of advantages that these accounts provide. “Like” the update of benefits received by 170,000 people. More well-being and more prosperity. It is not just another budget, it is a country budget because it has been drawn up by the main social agents and from the world of culture and because it has the support to move forward”.
Some support that he wants to “reinforce even more. Because these budgets do not give air to the Government, if not to the country. And I extend my hand to those forces that have not yet joined, especially those who have collaborated in its preparation “, in obvious reference to Junts. “It is desirable” that the post-convergents join, at the most, said Aragonès “the first contacts with the PSC to add them to these budgets were initiated by Junts and with the PSC they have agreed on four budgets from the Barcelona Provincial Council. What we will not do is lower taxes for the richest, he warned.
