Lawyer, professor, politician, economist. But above all, Jaume Alonso-Cuevillas is a passionate jurist and, following the family tradition of his father, uncles and brothers, he studied law. He started working in a car parts warehouse and at the age of 16, with the money he had earned, he bought a wasp: "It cost 36,000 pesetas (216 euros), I thought it was very expensive," he recalls in statements to the newspaper El País.Companies.

ERC has decided to support JxCat MP Aurora Madaula to replace Jaume Alonso-Cuevillas in the second secretariat of the Parliamentary bureau, according to TV3. Cuevillas formally presented his resignation on Wednesday after disagreements with the president of the Parliament, Laura Borràs, on the delegated vote of Lluís Puig and the processing of motions for resolutions that can lead to the disqualification of members of the bureau.

The start of the negotiations after Easter is slower than expected. On the first working day after Easter, Tuesday, there was no formal meeting between the ERC and Junts negotiators, and this Wednesday afternoon there has only been one meeting, which lasted little more than two hours. According to sources familiar with the talks, they have discussed the government programme, but have not yet talked about the structure the executive should have and the distribution of cabinet posts.

JxCat has removed Jaume Alonso-Cuevillas from the Parliamentary Bureau and will propose Aurora Madaula as the new second secretary to replace the lawyer. Cuevillas put his position at the disposal of the president of the chamber, Laura Borràs, last night, and the proposal has been assessed by the secretary general of JxCat, Jordi Sànchez, the president of the party, Carles Puigdemont, and Borràs herself. It has also been decided who they want to occupy the position of Cuevillas: Aurora Madaula, MP of Junts, a bet of Borràs, according to sources of the formation. These decisions, however, still have to be approved by the party executive and Madaula will have to undergo a vote in the chamber to be chosen. For her election, the votes of ERC will be key.
