The first deputy mayor of Barcelona, James Collboniis convinced, a few days before it can be decided whether or not there will be a joint candidacy of Catalonia and Aragon sa 2030 Winter Olympicsabout what finally there will be an agreement for the benefits that come with the event.
“Because we have more to win than the risks to run, I’m sure we’ll be ahead”said Collboni on the Converses de Cope-Catalunya program, while praising the role of mediator and seeking consensus on the role of the COE and especially its president, Alejandro Blanco.
The socialist politician recalled that the candidacy “succeeded in worse moments”, such as when the City Council in 2015 closed the technical office of Barcelona’s candidacy for the 2026 Winter Olympics after Ada Colau’s arrival in the mayor’s office .
Despite the impending May 20, the date set by Blanco as the last day to agree on candidacy for the Games in the face of disagreements between the governments of Catalonia and Aragon to close a joint proposal , Collboni believes the benefits of the nomination. giver will be imposed on disputes.
“I have complete confidence in Blanco and in his ability to reach an agreement with an eminently sporting approach “, said Collboni, underlining the opportunity for the city of Barcelona to host the inauguration of this sporting event in 2030 and thus” reconnect “with the” Olympic spirit of 1992 ” .
On the other hand, he said he was “not throwing in the towel” about the expansion of Barcelona Airport and that he would present himself as mayor for the city in 2023 with a promise to recover this project through the “window of opportunity. ”that the plan will offer state investors 2027-2031.
The deputy mayor attributed the primary responsibility to the president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès, for not exploiting the investment of 1,700 million placed on the Government’s table to expand this infrastructure.
He considers that the refusal to expand El Prat “was resolved in a very simple and irresponsible manner by the Generalitat and its president”, and is confident that the working group created to study this expansion will conduct a ” tight “debate” about where a “strategic decision” comes from about which airport Barcelona needs.
And in an implicit allusion to the opposition also presented by the formation of Comunes and Ada Colau to this expansion, he called for “degrowth favors” to “explain” it well to the public, as he defined himself as a supporters of “inclusive and sustainable” growth.
