Could take place in the plenary session of Congress or in the Culture Commission . The first of these options was the one that the Executive liked the most, since it would enable a “more media” defense of the Festival , with the possible intervention of bullfighters, intellectuals and former politicians in favor of bullfighting. However, as El Confidencial Digital has learned , the PP parliamentary group has already received instructions from the Government so that the processing is carried out in the Commission and not in the plenary session , with the aim of shortening the deadlines as much as possible. The Budgets and the new adjustments would delay their approval The sources consulted by this newspaper explain that in this second period of sessions “ we will have the plenary sessions occupied until the end of the year with the processing of the 2013 Budgets and the new adjustment measures that may come to us from Brussels, so it was going to delay excessively the approval of the initiative to declare the bulls a Site of Cultural Interest.” For this reason, the president of the Congressional Culture Commission, the 'popular' Juan Manuel Albendea , has already told the promoters of the ILP that "the most likely thing is that they will be called to defend the initiative in the commission next month.
The objective of this change in strategy is, according to the sources consulted by ECD , to obtain the approval of the law in February at the latest, just before the annual meeting in which the calendar of the bullfighting campaign is decided at Special Database the Hotel Wellington in Madrid, and that the deadline for processing the ILP expires, which can be done until March 31 of next year. The ruling of the French Constitutional Court, “a great precedent” At the end of last week, the French Constitutional Court endorsed the legality of bullfighting, a ruling that some sectors are still waiting for from the Spanish high court. In fact, the TC has not yet ruled on the appeal presented by the PP and associations in defense of bullfighting to the ban on bullfighting in Catalonia. Despite this, the decision of the French court has been considered “a great precedent” by the promoters of the ILP to convert bulls into an Asset of Cultural Interest: “ France has set an example for Spain and now it is our turn to 'shield' Party ".As El Confidencial Digital has learned , Artur Mas's decision has been heavily influenced by a series of challenges that his party had to face in the coming months: two investigative commissions in the regional chamber , the preparation of Budgets, and the summons of senior leaders of Unió in the ' Pallerols case' .
Well-placed sources in the Catalan Parliament explain to this newspaper that "Mas has been keeping the advance in mind for months, aware of the harsh autumn , and also winter, that awaited him ahead." Goodbye to the Health and Savings investigation commissions With the electoral advance, "Artur Mas avoids appearing in the investigative commissions set for next month on Health and Funds, in which the President and his team were going to have to give many explanations ." In Health , "he was going to be asked about the corruption and mismanagement schemes uncovered months ago by the press, such as the collection by the director of the Catalan Institute of Health of 280,000 euros per year , or the ' Crespo case' , in which the Department of Health and the Audit Office made irregular payments of 1.3 million euros.” For its part, in the investigation commission on the savings banks, “Mas and his Government were going to have to answer about the control of local entities, and the million-dollar early retirements that some of their former directors have received, but in the end they were not They will celebrate.” When the autonomous chamber is dissolved, both investigation commissions will be annulled like any other parliamentary initiative , which is why Mas has abruptly avoided their appearance.
