“We have earned the place to be able to choose. No one has the right to spoil it,” says the ‘consellera’ Vilagrà
The Generalitat de Catalunya does not rule out presenting a solo candidacy of the Catalan Pyrenees to host the 2030 Winter Olympics, if the government of Aragon finally not added to the project.
In statements to RAC1, the ‘consellera’ of the Presidency, Laura Vilagra, explained that the Generalitat’s proposal continues to be a “collaborative application” with Aragon, because “it has advantages”, but if the Aragonese government continues to make “so many hitches” Catalonia could still “present a candidacy”.
“We have earned the place to be able to choose. No one has the right to spoil it”, Vilagrà stressed, who has avoided “advance events” because first he wants to exhaust the options of presenting a joint candidacy with Aragón. According to Vilagrà, Catalonia “deserves to be able to present the Olympic candidacy” and has always “proposed collaboration with other territories”, for which he still hopes that “everyone is responsible and works positively”.
