“The meeting with Minister Bolaños is not a return to normality, relations remain frozen,” says the spokeswoman
The Olympic failure, the debacle of the left in Andalusia and the unresolved espionage have made the Government raise the critical tone with the Spanish Government and its president, Pedro Sánchez, whom they personally see not exactly reinforced. Government spokesperson, Patricia Beach, he concluded, in relation to the failure of the Olympic bid “anti-Catalanism has won”. The real stumbling block was that, according to the Government, “the representative of Aragon had to come to an understanding with Catalonia and his entire attitude has been conditioned by this and has been allowed.” “He has not wanted to team up with Catalonia and from the Government not only has he been allowed to outburst against the Catalans and they have bowed to their demands,” he snapped. However, he has insisted that “Catlaunya is ready to host this candidacy and had the job done”, and there is a project for a solo candidacy, which will be presented to the COE in the coming days.
The candidacy of the Games is an opportunity for the Pyrenees but the commitment to the mountain territories is above this, the Government works for the economic revitalization, sustainability and roots of the citizenry”, he stated, citing the Pyrenees Agenda as an example 2030 and a new Mountain Law to “improve the daily life of the residents involved”.
No return to normal
“2034 is a long way off,” added the spokeswoman, still avoiding considering the 2030 option closed. On the other hand, Plaja confirmed the meeting between the Minister of the Presidency and the head of the Government Presidency in Madrid this Wednesday to address the espionage crisis and also to address “an accumulation of facts and disloyalties that have completely deteriorated relations and trust between the Government and the Government”. “The meeting is not a return to normality, relations remain frozen,” the spokeswoman said.

450 euros for the cleaning staff
The Government has agreed to grant a “productivity supplement” to cleaning staff for their work during Covid, for their “physical and emotional wear and tear”. A decision already announced in June of last year and after a claim that began two years ago by workers in the sector, and after an unfavorable vote by Junts and ERC in Parliament last year, the maximum bonus will be 450 euros per worker and worker, in a single payment. But “the necessary instruments” to pay this amount still need to be approved in three months, no later than December 31 of this year. The required documentation must be submitted in advance. In August 2020, health professionals received an extra payment of up to 1,350 euros. Well above the amount that cleaning workers will be paid.
