The President of the Parliament, Laura Borrastakes the baton of the negotiation with the officials of the Catalan Chamber after the umpteenth clash between the members of the Table to agree on a new general regime that replaces the licenses by agea kind of pre-retirement that could be used by those over 60 years of age and with a history of 15 years in the institution.
At the Board meeting held this Tuesday, Borràs announced that she herself is taking charge of the talks with the staff council and thus recovers the functions that she delegated to Ferran Pedret (PSC) and aurora madaula (Junts), according to parliamentary sources. All this, after Borràs order to withdraw the ratification of an agreement reached with the employees -and which she herself endorsed at the Table last Tuesday- of the agenda of the institutional affairs commission in which it should be ratified last Thursday.
The closed proposal consisted of including in the statutes of regime and internal government (ERGI) the possibility that the employees avail themselves of Incentivized leave of absence and reductions in working hourswhile the future of the payments that are already being paid for age leave is still being negotiated until July 11, a regime that has already been repealed on paper.

Parliamentary sources point out that Borràs contacted the rest of the members of the Table, informally, and ordered that the ratification of the agreement not be put to a vote, alleging that, last Tuesday, when it was approved at the meeting in which he was present, “understood that [las excedencias y las reducciones] they were referring only to those who already charge the licenses” and not to a new general regime available to all officials to which they can enlist before the repeal of licenses due to age. The measure, which is now up in the air, was initially validated with the vote in favor of PSC, ERC and Junts, the abstention of Cs and CUP and the vote against by the ‘comuns’, since PPC and Vox did not attend the meeting.
In fact, the workers have already asked the Board to give explanations about this new withdrawal, since the pact was closed and was finally not ratified. Now the staff must negotiate with the president herself until July 11, the deadline set after several extensions by the lack of understanding.
