caesura in Catalonia - the end of an era

The political map of Catalonia has changed radically. After 14 years in power, the Catalan government is first led by a politician who rejects the idea of ​​Catalonia's independence. This choice is a historical turning point and brings a new era for the region.

The choice of Salvador Illa

Salvador Illa was narrowly elected president. With 68 votes in the 135-Sitze parliament, he will now cite a fragile minority government. Similar to Madrid, he rely on the support of the independence advocates, which forces into real compromises.

effects on Catalonia

The choice of Salvador Illa has far -reaching consequences for the region. He has already spoken out for the application of an amnesty for exile president Carles Puigdemont, against which there is still an arrest warrant. This decision could have an impact on the future of Catalonia and Spain.

In addition, Illa won the support of the Republican left of Catalonia (ERC) by promising the negotiation of a new financing model for Catalonia. This model stipulates that Catalonia collects taxes and that they are then divided between the central state and the regions. So far it was exactly the other way around. This redistribution could significantly improve Catalonia's financial conditions, similar to the Basque Country.

FAZIT

The choice of Salvador Illa as regional president of Catalonia marks a turning point in the history of the region. The new president faces major challenges to implement his promises and to gain the trust of the supporters of independence. Whether this break will be permanent or just a snapshot depends on whether Illa complies with its commitments.
