The government of Salvador Illa and the central government are preparing a bilateral commission next week to address pending transfers that could help approve the Catalan budgets after the March setback.
The two sides are finalizing the meeting agenda, according to government sources. It forms part of ongoing PSC and ERC talks to pass the budgets by July 31.
ERC spokesperson Isaac Albert said his party's support hinges on building an orbital railway line serving Barcelona's outer metropolitan areas, at an estimated cost of 5,000 million euros. He described it as a shift toward a networked territorial model.
PSC spokesperson Lluïsa Moret said joint work is progressing well. Both parties have separated the Mossos infiltration crisis from the budget negotiations.
