These strikes that teachers are carrying out by regions are multiplying the effect of the sector in struggle and are making the crisis long for the Government.Meanwhile, the Government is preparing for this week, which will be the staging of the budget agreement between the Government, Esquerra and Comuns.While Esquerra is convening the national council today to give the green light to the budgets, President Salvador Illa is going to Sant Sadurní d’Anoia today to present the initiative for the orbital railway line, the result of the agreement between the Government and Esquerra.</p>]]></description>

      <subtitle><![CDATA[The idea of the orbital line is good, it is logical: It is so good and so logical that it already began to be planned 20 years ago, and the PSC already referred to it in its electoral program of 2024, so there is nothing new under the sun here. Problem: at best, they will take 15 years to finish it (2040), and Esquerra wants the State to pay for it. It is once again one of those conditions that do not depend on the two parties signing an agreement.]]></subtitle>
