BarcelonaDespite the fact that the Spanish Olympic Committee (COE) threw out the white flag when it came to defending an Olympic bid in the Pyrenees for the Winter Games in 2030, the Government of the Generalitat remains determined to move forward. Having already closed the stage in which the idea was to go hand in hand with Aragon, as the COE wanted, the Catalan government has today presented the details of a possible only Catalan candidacy with the aspiration that it will be approved by the COE in order to to be presented to the International Olympic Committee. At the moment, as explained by the Councilor of the Presidency, Laura Vilagrà, there is no response from the COE to the Catalan idea. In fact, on the same day that the COE renounced a joint candidacy between Catalonia and Aragon for the year 2030, the Zaragoza government rushed to say that it would present a project centered on Jaca for 2034. Catalonia believes that can change the opinion of the president of the COE, Alejandro Blanco, to defend his idea alone for 2030.
