The Spanish government plans to appeal the law approved by the Catalan Parliament which addresses the exceptional situation of drought in Catalonia before the Spanish Constitutional Court (TC), according to newspaper Ara and confirmed by David Mascort, Catalan minister of Climate Action, on Monday. Pedro Sanchez’s government began proceedings to challenge the law endorsed by the Catalan Parliament with ERC, Junts and the PSC’s votes last week, in the middle of the election campaign. The Catalan government has already received the relevant notification about the start of the proceedings to challenge the law.
“Pedro Sánchez’s government intends to challenge the aspects of the law which allow public administrations emergency contract works against the drought, such as improving the connection of water supply networks or water treatment processes,” said El Nacional En.
