The goal of popular This is to take advantage of the speech given to the Senate, through this commission, so that the presidents of the region who want to do so can come and get a position on this hypothetical amnesty law. However, the Regulations of the Senate specify that in this General Commission of Autonomous Communities, There is no obligation for central government or regional representatives to attend, although this is often the norm.
This Regulation also does not say that it must be the President of the Government or the head of the regional Executive, but each administration, if they finally attend, you can decide which representative to send to this general commission of Autonomous Communities.
In addition to setting the date, the CCAA Commission Committee also established the agenda and how to structure the session, which will begin at 11:00 on Thursday, October 19, as sources informed the parliamentarians of Europa Press. In this way, the Government – if it wants to attend – is the first to speak without a time limit, and The representatives of the regional executives will go later with a maximum time of ten minutes.
There was hardly any activity during these years

In recent years it has had almost no activity except what is important to review some legislation and it has hardly held regional debates.
The last one was held in April 2022, more than a year ago, and the Government forced it so that the first vice president, Nadia Calviño, spoke about the distribution of European funds with the Executives of the region. Before, in the middle of the pandemic, the PP and the PNV joined forces at the Senate Table to force a meeting of the General Commission of the Autonomous Communities to discuss the covid-19, which dissolved the representation sent of regional governments. In most of these sessions, the Government of Catalonia is usually absent and has not decided to send any representative, either adviser or president.
