The rejection of the expansion of El Prat is to opt for a setback in the face of progress
Last update.

Père Aragonés, president of the Generalitat, has stepped on a puddle. It could get out of there, but it can also get into another, today without going any further, on the occasion of the Day of September 11. Felipe González already explained in Antena 3’s anthill that “everyone fucks up sometime”, but that the important thing, “is to get it out as soon as possible.” Aragonés, always with the shadow of Junqueras over his head, could still convince Pedro Sánchez to back down and give free rein to the expansion of the El Prat airport. However, no one guarantees it. The “independent” fondness for victimhood is in good health. In addition, there are many forces that conspire – yes, they conspire – to prevent Barcelona from having a better airport, because instead of progress and more well-being they opt for retrogression. A less prosperous society, more dependent on aid and subsidies, is more malleable. That is why Ada Colau is against the expansion of El Prat. The same as the “vice” communist-podemita Yolanda Díaz. All with the ecologist and environmental excuse.
Barcelona and Catalonia recede, while the ERC “indepes” live in anguish at having to share the Government with Junts. They are closer to Colau and Díaz than to the hosts of Puigdemont. That is what justifies the nonsense –which would still have a fix– of attacking the expansion of the airport. Barcelona is beginning to cease to be the city that astonished the world after the Olympic Games and that attracted hundreds of thousands of tourists who generated a lot of business and jobs. The city competed with London and Paris as a European tourist destination. The pandemic gave the last straw to a decline that has already begun and, now, recovery, if the City Council and the Generalitat do not support it, it will be impossible and they do not seem supportive. Entrepreneurs have warned over and over again. The last one, on Thursday to Yolanda Díaz, happy for the “no” to the expansion of the airport. The British and French capitals are once again raising their heads from the effects of the pandemic, but Barcelona is neither London nor Paris.
