Catalan elections are delayed to 30 May
- The Catalan Government has proposed to the parties that the regional elections to be held on 14 February be postponed by 30 May. The political forces gathered this Friday morning at the Party Bureau have approved the proposal, with the exception of the CSP.
The delay is due to increased COVID-19 contamination. The Generalitat Department of Health announced that peak times of hospital care would occur in the days leading up to February 14 and noted that it did not consider it appropriate to mobilize five million people in the streets in this situation.
The CSP has been the only one to oppose this date, since, in its view, they should have been done on 21 March. The organisation of the elections is in the hands of the Department of External Action and this is led by ERC, as is the government itself, since Pere Aragonès serves as acting President.
On this occasion, JxCat and ERC have come hand in hand with the decision. The Government of Madrid, for its part, opposed the suspension of payments. The deferral decree will be adopted on Friday afternoon and, after its study, it will be seen whether any of the parties or entities will invoke the judgment.

It is often said that the summer season is a parenthesis in politics. Perhaps anyone who has a purely institutional view of politics thinks so, but the summer of this year, which is still about to end, has given us something to look at.

One of the reasons for the investiture of Salvador Illa as president of the Generalitat has been the PSC-ERC pact. It is not a sovereign pact at all, but in some respects new doors could be opened, unless the political strategy of the PSC-PSOE, which is common, is re-imposed... [+]
It is not easy to understand what is happening in Catalonia. Certainly. We can end the 2017 process, but it remains to be seen whether independence will be able to start a new process of liberation.

Saying goodbye to something or someone is usually an act related to abandonment, the end and, ultimately, the grieving process. I'm sure you would ever, or you'd hear someone, tell them the typical, topical phrase of "I don't like greetings." And I don't want to fool you, not even I've... [+]
Walk from a train station, two friends and a hug. This hug will be frozen until the next meeting. I'll come home, he'll stay there. There, too, will be free the painful feeling that injustice wants us to catch. Jesús Rodríguez (Santa Coloma de Gramenet, 1974) is a journalist,... [+]
