ERC has fulfilled its threat and has amended the General Budgets of the State in the Senate to try to delay a week the approval of the Pedro Sánchez accounts for 2022 as a pressure measure to the PSOE and the United may be for the audiovisual law to force platforms as Netflix To meet a fee with the Catalan.
"To touch the nose to ERC with this is a bad business," Gabriel Rufián had warned when, very angry by the bill approved by the Council of Ministers, he warned the PSOE that the last procedures of the budgets could be avenged.
The Catalan separatists can not knock them down, because they will not support the vetoes presented by the opposition in the Senate, but they do have a margin to maneuver to prosper any amendment unwanted by the executive. That would force Congress to vote again, predictably on December 28. The amendment that has to prosper the most visual is actually one of the PP that would force a drop in hairdressers from 21% to 10%.
Revenge against the PSOE begins to catch a form. Sources of ERC have announced that several amendments have been submitted in the Senate as a way to ask "more explicit commitments to the PSOE", with whom it comes intensely negotiating in recent days under an absolute discretion to find a solution.
"Our intention is that the Government responds to ERC's demands to guarantee rights to the Catalans, as well as to protect minority languages; and until now it has not been like this," the spokesman for Independentista in the Senate, Mirella Cortés , which has linked the amendments with the audiovisual law.
For ERC, the project approved last week in the Council of Ministers is "insufficient" because it does not force Netflix, HBO or Diseny + to quotas determined with Catalan. The Government maintains that it can not do so by virtue of the European Directive that promotes the law because they are foreign companies and only contemplates the option of establishing incentives for production in co-official languages. Instead, ERC is enrolled in the matter of quotas for, justifies Gabriel Rufián, safeguarding the Catalan audiovisual sector and tens of thousands of jobs.
"In ERC we will continue to use our negotiating force to achieve concrete advances in the present. We want to put our votes at the service of the citizenship of Catalonia and its demands, because Catalonia needs investments in infrastructures, investments executed and not only budgeted, and Catalonia needs that The audiovisual law swives the Catalan language on all digital platforms, "Cortés warned.
ERC insists that it gave the approval to budgets in Congress -Sus 13 votes were transcendentals for the Government - in exchange for the PSOE committed to an audiovisual law that will arm the quotas of Catalan and other official languages.
Republicans emphasize that "will not approve an audiovisual law that does not give a good response to the current situation of catalan marginalization on audiovisual platforms."
"There is still, therefore, margin of negotiation both in the processing of this law and within the framework of the General Budgets of the State in the Senate," says sources of ERC.
With this, the excuse of the independences to open the accounts have been amendments to put a compliance clause of the envisaged investments or create a COVID fund of 13,000 million euros. In addition, they have presented other investments in the Bags, the Delta del Ebro, the Maresme, the Tarragonés or Lérida.
