While awaiting Carles Puigdemont's return and the question of what role he would play in the Catalan chamber, the leadership headed by the former president decided on Monday to replace Albert Batet as president of the parliamentary group and appoint the current spokesperson, Mònica Sales, to take over. However, this comes with a promotion for Batet, who will become Puigdemont's right-hand man in the leadership: specifically, she will serve as deputy to the party president and campaign director. Furthermore, party vice president Salvador Vergés was chosen as the parliamentary spokesperson.</p>]]></description>

Whether deliberately or accidentally. Sílvia Orriols spoke out completely consciously, appearing with a heart emblazoned with the Israeli flag on her jacket and unabashedly defending Benjamin Netanyahu's government's response to the Hamas attacks two years ago. Not even Ignacio Garriga of Vox dared to go so far. As for Junts, this Wednesday they voted in favor of an arms embargo on Israel and on Tuesday they stood up to applaud Pilar Castillejo, CUP deputy and Flotilla participant. However, neither their spokesperson, Albert Batet, nor Carles Puigdemont spoke. <em>genocide</em>. These are the balances of a party that lives between two waters.</p>]]></description>

The management of the Socialist executive was the focus of Junts in a harsh intervention by the party's president in the chamber, Albert Batet, who demonstrated his distance from the Catalan government. The main opposition party accused the president of the Generalitat of being "a great anesthetizer" and of leaving Catalonia "in a state of coma" and "in the ICU," but warned him that "Catalonia will wake up." The leader of the regional government criticized <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/salvador-illa-promises-to-promote-more-than-200-000-new-homes-throughout-catalonia_1_5521009.html" target="_blank">The "irresponsible" housing promise for more than 200,000 apartments</a> -which he has asserted he doesn't believe and which he has compared to the functioning of the commuter train system-, the state of infrastructure and education, or the "denationalization" of the country. Batet also asserted that the executive "neither works nor has the strength to govern" because it is "a government without a budget." And it was at this point that he directly compared Isla to the president of the United States: "Donald Trump also governs like this and he's not the best example," he snapped.</p>]]></description>

This has been the proposal that the leader of the Junts per Catalunya group, Albert Batet, has launched to the Esquerra candidate, Pere Aragonès, after announcing that he will abstain and overthrow his election as president of the Generalitat. A way, according to Junts, to give themselves more time to reach an agreement, which has not taken long to be rejected by Esquerra, which believes that a pact is possible before the next vote on Tuesday.</p>]]></description>
