Agreement by El Prat: exchange of funds for political support and parking of the Republic
The one negotiated for the expansion of the airport is only part of the Sánchez-Aragonés understanding package. You have to reject it.
Pedro Sánchez and Pere Aragonés reached an agreement to expand the El Prat airport facilities, transform it into a terminal intercontinental and increase the passenger ceiling of 55 a 70 millions. He president from Government he welcomed that they consult him about the project and argued that improving connections will enhance Reus airports, of Girona and what "It is not about expanding the number of passengers to increase the tourist, but to enhance the economic competitiveness of the country ". The plays, that would start in 2025 and will end in 2030/31, involve an investment of 1.700 million euros of aid funds from the European Union. It is about of a large Aena business for which the large employers' associations also celebrate hotel, local real estate and tourism, at the service of which is the Govern ERC-JxCat.
The project, that has not yet been done, would lead to lengthening the third track to the detriment of the lands of the protected lagoon of La Ricarda within the Natura Network 2000, which is one of the few lungs natural remaining in the Delta del Llobregat. The expansion of the infrastructure and the multiplication of flights would lead to an increase in 33% of annual CO2 emissions, among other serious environmental consequences that are marked as "A extremely serious climatic irresponsibility ".Natural Areas del Delta del Llobregat will be severely affected, including the park Agrarian.
Do not be fooled by the promises of environmental recomposition and social benefits that are wielded, are part of the scaffolding set up to deactivate opposition voices and protests. The negotiated is part of a more global package of political agreements. The central government recognized this by stating that the pact is a turning point in the relations between the central Executive and the Catalan, opening a new time of understanding and fulfillment of the statute. In this way the "Progressive coalition" government allocates funds to Catalonia in exchange for ERC continuing to support it in Parliament, endorse the "dialogue" cheater and the republic car park in an abandoned hangar. In tandem, officials "progress" e “Indepes of the Process”They continue to try to bury the aspirations of the Catalan people expressed in the 1-O Referendum for self-determination and in massive mobilizations. Say what they say from the mouth out, what they are doing is an exchange of favors of mutual convenience, and asymmetric, since the great winner is the central power that underpins the government, advances in its policy towards autonomies and makes up the '78 regime. The regional elections produced a majority that supported ERC and JxCat and continues to do so. We believe that a deep reflection is necessary in this regard, because the path adopted is increasingly full of examples that indicate a course that is closer to autonomy than to self-determination. It is the opinion that we already expressed in "Distention, autonomism and "business", "Saviors of the regime" and other published notes. Barcelona City Council, driven by Ada Colau (We share) only criticized the informality and the fact that the agreement is secret, not the substantive issues.
The CUP is raising the rejection of the megaproject and there is talk of a call for mass mobilization the 19 of September, which is a positive decision that we support. contradictorily, at the same time it maintains its agreements with the Govern, after endorsing the investiture of Aragonés as did other groups that are said to be "left". Placing oneself in a consistent opposition and forming a class alternative independent of the Catalan bourgeois parties is the only way to recover the mobilizing potential of the Catalan people and make a new invested in the Spanish State and the '78 regime become a reality and not a simple slogan.
