"Due to the inaction of Aragon, Catalonia will take the step and present a single candidacy"

Seeing that the joint Aragonese-Catalan winter train by the organization of Winter Olympics not only is it advancing at the desired speed, but it is also not expected to act in the next few days, the Generalitat of Catalunya decided to take the step and announced that it would unveil the Spanish Olympic Committee (COE) a solo candidacy seeking to be headquartered by 2030 Winter Olympics.

This was announced by Presidential Minister Laura Vilagrà this morning at a colloquium organized by the New Economy Forum in Barcelona and proved in the early afternoon at the MD. “Aragón’s candidacy is completely deadlocked, almost in a situation of no going back. Therefore, what we need to do is not to miss this opportunity for the 2030 Olympic Games. We are always trying to find a point of agreement in Aragón, We are favor of collaborative candidacy and in fact already had a technical agreement, but the political entry of one of the parties prevented an agreement from being reached.You could miss this opportunity by 2030 and that is why we are doing this this step forward “; collecting words expressed by own President of the Generalitat of Catalonia Pere Aragonèswho in 33rd Business Meeting in the Pyreneesstressed that “Catalonia is ready to prepare an unparalleled Olympic project. This is a great opportunity for the country that we cannot miss”.

The first of these steps is to order Director of the Government Technical Office who manages the Winter Olympics, former alpine skier Monica Bosh and former president of Catalan Federation of Winter Sports (FCEH)the drafting of a project for a Catalan-only candidacy, which will eventually be presented to Spanish Olympic Committee (COE).

It should be noted that the COE announced the technical agreement for the candidacy on March 28, which was disliked by the Aragonese government, which came to define it as “unequal” because it did not respond to its “demands”, emphasizing that the distribution did not comply with their request — when the Aragonese representatives presented the distribution of the snow tests — and announced that they would present their own proposal, which they announced a few days later and which, among others further requests, were the request to separate skiing, men and women, some trials in Aragonese resorts and others in Catalan.

A Catalan project based on all the synergies received in recent months (and years) and already ok with the technicians of International Olympic Committee (IOC)that the consultants once visited Catalan sports facilities, then they wrote a positive report about the quality and flexibility of the facilities.

Think of himMinister Vilagrà that the 2030 option, despite the external image provided by not reaching an agreement with Aragon and the lost time, is still possible and that there is no reason to keep it in a drawer and go directly to 2034 Why do we delay this and wait until 2034? We see no reason, “he pointed out to MD.

is now Monica Bosch that in the coming weeks it will have to finish writing the project, which it will have to present to the COE, an organization that, having seen the inertia of the joint candidacy, announced that in May it would choose the option both Catalonia comof Aragon they will present their proposal, which will be reviewed by an extraordinary assembly of the COE before choosing one of the two options.
