The President of the Catalan Government, Artur Mas presented his ten government action strategies to “fully use the time left in office” until the elections in September. This “Government offensive” which the President spoke of during this morning’s press conference, has the main objective to prepare the country “in the case a mandate from the Catalan population is received”, the President explained, “to establish our own State”. Subsequently, the strategies are aimed so that “those who must implement Catalonia’s statehood will have a large part of the work done for them when the moment arises”, declared Mas.
During the press conference held in the Palau de la Generalitat, the President broke down his ten point programme aimed at “reinforcing the Government’s structures to support strategic projects” which encompass the key areas which have been the focus of the Government’s action in this legislature: employment, economic recovery, social policies and the welfare state, democratic regeneration, transparency, national transition, and the creation of State structures.
According to the Chief Executive, the strategic projects are listed as follows:
