Junts, along with PP and Vox, strikes down the rental decree and the investment consortium

Junts inflicted a double defeat of enormous political significance on the Government in Congress this Tuesday by joining its votes with those of PP and Vox to overturn, with only a few minutes’ separation, two of the most sensitive initiatives of the legislature. These were the housing decree promoted by Sumar and the investment consortium agreed between ERC and the PSC to strengthen the Generalitat’s participation in state investments in Catalonia. The setback hits the coalition hard on the eve of the Andalusian campaign, with polls already very adverse for the left against Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla’s PP, which aims to revalidate its absolute majority.

Xavi Pascual makes the decision to leave Barça at the end of the season and will sign for Dubai

Earthquake at the Palau. If the first and glorious stage of Xavi Pascual (Gavà, 1972) at Barça lasted eight years, the second will barely reach eight months. The coach made the decision this Sunday to leave the club at the end of the current season, fed up with the lack of demand he detects in the entity and the numerous unfulfilled promises by the section leaders and the board. His destination will be the Middle East, specifically an exciting project like Dubai Basketball, already established as one of the teams in the EuroLeague, which guarantees him the financial muscle necessary to tackle more ambitious goals than those currently managed by the team of his heart.
