This was announced by the first vice-president and Minister of Economy, Antoni Costa, who also issued a warning to Vox. Although the Executive wants to seek the support of Manuela Cañadas's party for the accounts, on this occasion it is not prepared to make concessions that have nothing strictly to do with the numbers.</p>]]></description>

It was achieved and the result was a great success in participation. </p>]]></description>

The PP has guaranteed its support for the initiative and, therefore, it will foreseeably go ahead. In this legislature, it is already the third parliamentary initiative they have registered on the same topic, although they do not have legal standing because the autonomy does not have powers on this matter. The text will also have no legal effects on this occasion, even if it is presented as a bill. It is a symbolic pronouncement by the Chamber that is part of the battle between the PP and Vox to champion the anti-immigration discourse.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Since the Zapatero affair broke out, almost every day we are faced with a new surprise. Some, quite surreal. The feeling of disbelief is great even among those who for a long time put our heart and soul into the fight against corruption. But there are too many elements here that point to what has come to be called <em>lawfare</em>, the use of 'justice' to criminalize and bring down politicians, particularly progressives, through a lot of disinformation and little evidence. It happened with Lula in Brazil, and we have seen it in the Kingdom of Spain with the leaders of the Procés, the comrades of Podem, and a couple of years ago, with the case of our friend Mònica Oltra, who already warned us that we could all be, like her, victims of infamous maneuvers to civilly kill those who stand up to defend progressive values.</p>]]></description>

People who wouldn't suffer from vascular problems under any circumstances. Even in Andalusia, the PP's majority has not withstood the wear and tear. Anxiety and balancing acts: this is also the general situation in the Balearic Islands. Except in Ibiza. On the most turbulent island in the Mediterranean, as modern as it is feverish, politicians live in a beneficial oasis: it is the magic of absolute majority. There is one year left until the next local and regional elections (the last ones were on May 28, 2023) and not a leaf stirs on a tree here. Certainly, in recent weeks Aena has livened things up a bit with its delirious proposal to expand the airport. But hey! We know what we're about here; in a couple of days, no one will remember Aena and its megalomaniacal dreams – which I have no doubt will be executed to a high percentage. The season is starting, and we have to make money for the whole year.</p>]]></description>

The norm began to be processed as a law for strategic projects but, in a plot twist, the PP modified its title to introduce about seventy of its own amendments on unrelated issues and, incidentally, to comply with the pacts with Vox pending officialization. The opposition in bloc has denounced the "chaos", but while MÉS per Mallorca and Més per Menorca have refused to participate, the PSIB has indeed agreed on some amendments with the PP on the taxi sector and the integration of the Tax Agency (ATIB). The legislative chaos continued until the last minute, when the deputies did not <a href="https://en.arabalears.cat/misc/what-roman-accent-le-senne-vox-praises-lluis-apesteguia-s-latin_1_5749210.html" target="_blank">understand the voting blocks and the president of the Parliament, Gabriel Le Senne</a>, had to take a recess to clarify things and, finally, a roll-call vote had to be resorted to.</p>]]></description>

According to the latest survey, published by <a href="https://cronicaglobal.elespanol.com/politica/20240330/las-elecciones-catalanas-darian-forma-parlament-ingobernable/843665659_0.html"  rel="nofollow">Crónica Global</a>, the socialists would improve their 2021 results and would secure 38 deputies – they currently have 33. However, Illa could once again emerge as the winner at the polls without reaching the Generalitat. According to the survey, pro-independence parties would maintain their majority with 69 seats, with Junts (33 deputies) ahead of Esquerra (28 deputies) and the CUP (8 deputies), a sum that could open the door to the investiture of former president Carles Puigdemont. Another possible governing majority would involve a tripartite government of socialists, republicans, and commons, who would secure five deputies in Parliament. Nevertheless, Esquerra has already publicly refused to make Illa president of the Generalitat.</p>]]></description>

According to the organization led by José Félix Tezanos, the left not only does not retreat, but advances, as both the PSOE and Sumar could improve their results to the point of bordering on an absolute majority. In contrast, the PP and Vox would not reach it in any case.</p>]]></description>

This is revealed by the latest poll from the Sociological Research Center (CIS) prior to this Sunday's regional elections, in which the popular party led by Alfonso Rueda has stalled at 42.2% of the votes and between 34 and 38 seats –the same as in the previous survey–, while the Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG) is soaring. The sovereignists are reaching 33.4% of the ballots, with growth that would allow them to reach between 24 and 31 deputies, a historic record for the formation. If the CIS is correct, this double scenario makes the conservative absolute majority in Parliament hang by a thread. In parallel, the PSdeG-PSOE is sinking to 18% of the support, placing it between 9 and 14 deputies, in a particularly negative result for the socialist candidacy.</p>]]></description>

"We have won 10 of the last 12 regional elections," he claimed. With this endorsement, the popular leader flexed his muscles against the PSOE, increasingly isolated in Moncloa and gripped by the latest corruption cases.
