He has ruled out presenting a motion of censure to the Government of Pere Aragonès and, asked about an electoral advance in Catalonia, he has replied that the legislature has certain times and that he is in favor of respecting them.

"It seems to us that things are not being done as well as they should be, but President Aragonès says that he sees himself with the ability to continue, in the times we are in it would be better to have a Government with more parliamentary and more stable support, so the PSC will continue building and thinking about Catalonia", he added.

On whether he will agree on the Generalitat Budgets with ERC again, he explained that there is a will to execute it and that his party does not want to block them: "We will see how things go and there will be time to talk about the next year at the end of the year. Our attitude It is about building an alternative with a willingness to help, but never to block".
