Catalonia discards "happenings" of Aragon and urged to clarify the candidacy

The spokesman for Generalitat of Catalunya, Patricia Beachrefused to assess the “circumstances” and “unilateral proposals” of the Aragonese government in Winter Olympics and driven the Spanish Olympic Committee to clarify as soon as possible what the candidacy will look like.

The The Government of Aragon was sent to the COE his latest proposal to achieve a joint candidacy in Catalonia for the 2030 Winter Olympics, while awaiting a new meeting to resume negotiations, which could be this week.

The Aragonese proposal consists of dividing the exams into four batches with two options each, alpine skiing by gender, and the provision that the Generalitat will first choose in each case.

But at a press conference after the weekly meeting of the Catalan Executive, Plaja clarified that the Government will “not respond to Aragon’s suggestions, events or anything” regarding the Games.

The spokesman confirmed that Catalonia was at the next meeting “with the work done” and was confident that it would “come out with things that are clear” so that “the terms of this candidacy are set and clarified”.

“There was an agreement that was positive for us, also for the whole Catalan territory and for the citizens of Catalonia. It was a good project for Aragon also …. but it was like a soap opera,” he lamented.

In any case, the Generalitat maintained its “bet” on candidacy for the Winter Games, “whether in Aragon whether it would accept the established conditions or without Aragon”, but urged the COE to “have things clear as soon as possible. immediately”.

From the Catalan government has decided to postpone the candidacy for the 2034 Games, a date that is “very far and not on the agenda of the Government”, thus maintaining its commitment to the appointment in 2030, he stressed.

If the Executive of Pere Aragonès considers changing the scope of the citizen consultation territory in the Games, in case the candidacy is finally solitary from Catalonia and finally there are more counties and municipalities to magho hosted quizzes, Plaja avoided “speculating” about.

“If we listen to everything that comes out and the unilateral proposals of the actors involved, we will have a number of scenarios that are so diverse that we won’t stop to think,” he pointed out. “Let’s hold the meeting as soon as possible and, with the utmost diligence, clarify what the candidacy is like. And, from then on, when the questions are revealed, we will have time to talk about what is to come.”
