Four proposals with content for an institutional declaration

June’s full council meeting included four proposals with content for an institutional declaration, from BComú, the PSC, JxCat and the PP.

The proposal from BComú called on the Government of Catalonia to recover the Catalan language courses scheduled for this summer by the Barcelona Centre for Linguistic Normalisation, and to guarantee that as many places as necessary are offered to cover the current demand. The proposal was approved with votes from the ERC, BComú, the PSC, JxCat, the PP, BCN Canvi and the independent councillor, while Cs abstained.

The PSC put forward a proposal calling on the Ministry of Education to implement the measures agreed to maintain staffing, guaranteeing there are no negative effects for areas and schools with a degree of complexity and continuing to tackle inequality in education in the city. The proposal was approved unanimously, with all parties and the independent councillor voting in favour.

JxCat proposed the creation of a municipal political board to meet before and after each session by the institutional board convened by the Catalan government relating to the airport, to achieve direct and ongoing dialogue and for the stance of the City Council to achieve maximum support. The proposal was approved unanimously, with all parties and the independent councillor voting in favour.

The PP presented the Full Council with a proposal to express unconditional and absolute support for the Spanish constitution, and calling on the Spanish government to respect the independence of the different institutions in the state and the judicial decisions, and not to grant official pardons for those condemned for sedition. The proposal was the subject of a roll-call vote and was rejected with seven votes in favour, thirty against and one abstention.
