The report of the lawyers of the Parliament which proposes to modify the regulations of the Chamber and which entered at the last minute on the agenda of the Board meeting this Tuesday, has marked the political news in Catalonia in the last hours. The document proposes the suppression of an article of the regulation crucial for the political future of the president of the Parliament, Laura Borràs: the one that could cause her to be disqualified when the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) opens an oral trial for splitting contracts when she was in charge of the Institution of Catalan Literature.
ERC and CUP suspect that Borràs wanted to use the document, which EL PERIÓDICO advanced on Monday, to promote an express reform of the regulation. In fact, they consider that the proposals of the legal services of the Chamber exceed their competences. “The report goes beyond technical issues and it is the regulation commission that has to open the joint presentation to prepare the text of the regulation reform,” say anti-capitalist sources. It should be remembered that it was the CUP who promoted the article that lawyers now advocate suppressing, drawn up after several conclaves on measures of zero tolerance for corruption. Hence, neither Esquerra nor the ‘cuperos’ now agree to withdraw it, thus leaving Borràs alone.
In the hands of the groups
The PSC showed its discomfort from first thing in the morning. “Legislative modifications have to be made by the groups in presentation, not the Table & rdquor ;, recalled the Socialist parliamentary spokesperson, Alícia Romero, who added:”That the Bureau present a document with political modifications does not seem to us to be acceptable., and they also sent it to the members of the Board with less than 24 hours in advance & rdquor ;.
The legal services proposed the changes under the heading of “legal and technical proposals for reform of the regulation & rdquor ;, but the Socialists believe that some proposed modifications “Are in the background & rdquor; and “are from part & rdquor;. “The president of the Parliament should belong to everyone. It should dignify the institutions, not patrimonializing the institution of Parliament. The modification of the Parliament does not fall to the Table, but to the groups. The Board can make the reports it considers, but it cannot modify laws & rdquor ;, Romero has insisted.
Reform “à la carte”
The ‘commons’ have used similar arguments and have lashed out against Borràs. “The Parliament is not your farmhouse, the rules are for everyone. Especially when it is evident that these changes have a very specific purpose of benefiting her, “said En Comú Podem spokesperson, David Cid. photo on the shield of the entrance “, has added.

As for Ciutadans, its leader in the Parliament, Carlos Carrizosa, has also opposed the changes: “Borràs wants to reform the regulations of this Chamber through the back door to remove the word corruption and thus be able to screw himself to the seat and collect what that charges. He is in a hurry because the TSJC could open an oral trial at any time. And since the crime cannot be erased, the regulations are erased. “
The environment of the president of the Parliament assures that he requested the report by “unanimity”, although the power to request it is solely Borràs and does not require the consensus of the rest of the groups. However, this report can serve to Together to promote the presentation that modifies the regulation, although the rest of the parliamentary groups take for granted that in the commission to reform the regulation it would be very difficult to approve the suppression of the article that deals with the suspension of the deputies who are prosecuted oral for corruption.
