The president of the Generalitat of Catalonia, Salvador Illa, This Friday has announced that its Executive will approve on Tuesday a plan to boost the Catalan economy that will involve, among other measures, invest 18.5 billion public euros in the next five years. “The … Mobilization of resources of the Generalitat Generalitat since 2010, ”said the regional president during a conference at the Barcelona Industrial School before representatives of the unions, the employers, the political parties and, among others, the media.
In a half -hour intervention, Illa has pointed out that the presiding Catalan Government wants to “lead” the economy in Spain and place Catalonia in the head of the economy in Europe. To do this, he has asked the attendees to his conference and all the sectors involved «Ambition», «trust», «sense of country», So that, at the same time, the social challenges of improving equality, fighting child poverty, avoiding the increase in demographic aging and improving access to housing, among other problems.
To do this, the regional president has proposed to “lead the Spanish economy and be pointers in Europe on a ten -year horizon, but it can be in five, better,” that is, “to launch the dynamism of the Catalan economy” , do it with “humility but with determination” and «Open to the rest of Spain, Europe and the world». In summary, and in line with the title of the conference, it has proposed “a model of shared prosperity” that would face other models that, from their point of view, are selfish, in reference – without citing it – to the model he defends, For example, the PP in the Community of Madrid that leads Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
Illa, who has charged “against ultra rich oligarchs” involved in internal policy of third countries, in a direct allusion to the entrepreneur Elon Musk And he thanked the companies that return to Catalonia after leaving the community as a consequence of the most tense moments of the secessionist ‘procés’, has not completed its commitment to incentive of the Catalan economy and has only given some brushstrokes. Thus, its plan is structured in five blocks that it considers strategic: “infrastructure”, “productive modernization”, “knowledge and innovation”, “equal opportunities” and “good governance.”
And is based on three pillars. First, the institutions, “good”, “guarantees”, “of all”, “In which we can all feel represented.” Second, the economy, including companies, workers, academics … and in this pillar would also enter the Generalitat, since it hopes to invest “18.5 billion euros in five years, until 2030”, which would be “the” the Mobilization of resources of the largest generalitat since 2010 ». And finally, people, because we have to “put the economy at the service of people, and not vice versa.”
For all this, the President of the Generalitat has already asked those present and the entire Catalan society “trust” and, to some extent, help, to apply such an ambitious plan. The 18.5 billion investment until 2030 would break down at 13.7 billion euros directly of the Generalitat and another 4.8 billion through credits of the Catalan Institute of Finance. For now, however, Illa has a problem for not even launching this plan the first year And tomorrow the month of February begins and the Catalan Government still does not have partners in the Parliament to approve the 2025 budgets.
