Popular barons attacked the agreement between PSOE and ERC in a coordinated series of messages on social networks. Some of them expect that they will appeal to the courts against the economic agreement that the socialists reached with the Republicans so that the State assumes 20% of the debt contracted by the Generalitat of Catalonia (15,000 million euros), despite the fact that, according to the text of the agreement, the mechanism applies to other autonomous communities. “A legal change in the general scope will be processed for all Autonomous Communities in the common regime that allows the State to acquire part of the autonomous debt with it, due to the negative impact of the cycle of economy,” the document says, but the regional presidents of the PP have nevertheless questioned this route. Popular barons questioned the mechanism and that it was agreed upon by both sides of Catalonia. “They will forgive them more money than what is represented in our entire Budget,” complained the sources of the autonomous PP.
