BARCELONA, 13 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The number three on the PSC list in Barcelona, ​​Laia Bonet, has rejected this Tuesday the proposal of the acting mayor and BComú candidate, Ada Colau, to share the mayoralty with the socialist candidate, Jaume Collboni, and with the ERC candidate , Ernest Maragall, during the mandate: "It would not contribute to stability or rigor".

"Proposals or formulas like the one presented this morning would not be understood by progressive voters and would not contribute to the stability or rigor that Barcelona City Council and its citizens deserve," he said in statements to journalists after the announced proposal. by Colau this same Tuesday.

Bonet has stressed that Barcelona "needs a strong mayor to face the great challenges that the city faces and who leads a project with rigor and stability", a proposal that ensures that he can lead the PSC in the investiture.

In this sense, he has insisted that the Socialists will present Collboni's candidacy for mayor and that they will continue working to add "a large majority that overcomes the block policy and allows positive progress to continue."

He has reiterated that the PSC has opted for a progressive majority from the outset, but has lamented that "the repeated response of the ERC leaders, both from Aragonès and Junqueras, has been to discard this proposal and bet on a pro-independence front led by Trias", the Junts candidate.

Thus, Bonet has stressed that the PSC is the only force that can aspire to unite a large majority for the investiture, "that overcomes the politics of blocs, guarantees progressive policies and avoids a pro-independence front that returns to the years of the 'procés'".

"We call on all progressive forces to define their positions for the investiture and to make proposals with generosity and humility, based on where the citizens have located us at the polls," he concluded.
