This Wednesday, Sumar showed his support for En Comú Podem in the face of the new elections in Catalonia that President Pere Aragonès has brought forward for May 12.
Furthermore, since the formation of Yolanda Díaz they have endorsed the decision of the commons to knock down the Catalan regional budgets for including the construction project of the Hard Rock macro-complex.
Although in recent weeks Sumar and En Comú Podem have maintained disagreements about the expansion of Sumar towards the autonomous communities (especially Madrid, the Basque Country and Catalonia), the advancement of the Catalan elections for this May 12 seems to have worked as a stimulus for these.
As reported by EuropaPress, the Sumar executive has ruled that Pere Aragonès, the current president of the Generalitat of Catalonia, has brought forward the elections due to his, they declare, “inability” to reach an agreement on the approval of the Catalan budgets for this year and for accepting the PSC’s “imposition” of the Hard Rock tourism project.
Regarding the macro complex, which they have pejoratively defined as one of the largest “macro casinos” in Europe, they have warned of the, according to them, “massive tax reduction” of 10% that was approved in the last decade in Catalonia for casinos . Furthermore, those from Díaz have called the construction proposal “absurd” because, in a context that they define as a climate “emergency” in Catalonia, they take a dim view of the daily water consumption that the hotel complex would have, which they estimate is similar to that of a municipality of 30,000 inhabitants.
Sumar sources have confirmed to EuropaPress that they support En Comú Podem, and that they consider the formation “more necessary than ever”, since it is a party proposal that they defend as “progressive, Catalan and ambitious from a social and ecological perspective.” .
