Aragon "will confuse the heavens and the sea" against a Catalan Olympic candidacy

The Government of Aragon considers an exclusive Catalan candidacy for the 2030 Winter Olympics “unacceptable”. and, if this happens, “the Community will move heaven and sea” and go “wherever possible to denounce the situation.”

This was warned by the Minister of the Aragonese Presidency, Mayte Pérez, at the press conference after the Governing Council meeting when asked about the statements of the Minister of the Presidency of the Generalitat, Laura Vilagrà, in which she admitted the “very complicated” situation of negotiations and appealed to the possibility of facing individual candidacy.

“Listening to him, he suggests that the country’s joint project is done“, acknowledged Mayte Pérez, who warned, however, that the Government of Aragon has” said no “and they are still awaiting a response from the Spanish Olympic Committee on a proposal that they will continue to defend because they consider it . “fair and balanced”, which is “generous” because it leaves the Generalitat to choose between different proposals and “respond to the promise” made by the body and the Spanish Government.

In this sense, the Minister of the Presidency warns that if this candidacy is “destroyed it will be due to the apathy of Catalonia. who never accepted a candidacy on equal status, as we all promised ”.

Aragon’s position, he insisted, would be to present a joint candidacy on equal footing and warns that, “within this reliquary of contradictions”, the Spanish and international committees have advanced that if there is no joint candidacy there is no option for individual candidacies and in case it is presented there will be, in his opinion, “unacceptable” and it would not meet the promise of a joint national proposal.
