The municipal group of ERC has stated that there is «no agreement or pre-agreement» with the municipal government of the mayor of Barcelona, Jaume Collboni, regarding the 2026 Budget.
In a statement, the party expressed surprise at Collboni’s statements in a press conference on Tuesday, where he claimed to see an «advanced» pre-agreement with the republicans, while they even deny that there have been any conversations on the matter.
«There has been no conversation or meeting to address a negotiation on the budget,» emphasized those from Elisenda Alamany, who assert that ERC has not even made any requests to be included in next year’s budget.
In fact, they maintain that they are currently working on monitoring the agreements reached with the municipal government for the approval of the previous budgets, which were ultimately extended due to the failure of negotiations with BComú.
Collboni also stated that his government is willing to be flexible to push through new budgets and new tax regulations, and they expect to present a proposal «in due time» that they will share with the rest of the groups.
