Aliena al desmarcatge d’Aragó de l’acord tècnic que van pactar els executius aragonès, català i espanyol junt amb el COE, la Generalitat segueix endavant amb la candidatura per als 2030 Winter Olympics. Pere Aragonès has signed the decree to consult the territory. On July 24, the day before the 30th anniversary of the Barcelona Games, there will be two consultations: one at theHigh Pyrenees and Aranwhere the tests will be done, and another in the Berguedà, Solsonès and Ripollès.
“Should the Government nominate for the Olympic and Paralympic Games?” would be the first question, while the second will ask whether the other counties should be involved in the candidacy of the Games. The Councilor for the Presidency, Laura Vilagrà, has stated that the result will be “politically binding”.
Only face-to-face voting will be allowed, telematic and postal voting will be discarded. In the first, 55,000 people will be able to vote, and in the second, 63,000. The cost of voting will be 1.1 million euros.
Waiting for Lambán
El COE, que ja va comunicar fa una setmana per carta als presidents espanyol, català i aragonès «la proposta presentada, debatuda i acordada per la Comissió Tècnica», va mantenir la reunió de divendres per ratificar-la malgrat la plantada anunciada de Javier Lamban. The Secretary of State for Sport, Jose Manuel Francothe Minister of the Presidency of the Generalitat, Laura Vilagràand the President of the Spanish Olympic Committee, Alexander Whitevalidated the agreement.
“We hope and trust that the Government of Aragon will join this proposal,” said the press release, accompanied by an eloquent photo: the three government representatives sitting at a table next to the empty chair, with the documents to sign, reserved for Aragon. Lambán, which he had already planted Pere Aragonès in January, he announced that his government would not attend the meeting either, arguing that they disagreed with what they had initially agreed.
“It was completely debated and agreed upon. It was a surprise that President Lambán stepped down after six meetings. He has to explain that, I, as the head of the COE, all I have to do is lead, ”he said Alexander White to this newspaper. “If we receive a proposal from Aragon, it will be studied.”
