  • PSOE and Junts per Catalunya have agreed to delegate state immigration powers to the Generalitat, which includes border management, residence permits, and control of detention centers for foreign citizens.
  • The agreement came about from negotiations that have been held for over a year between the two political forces, in Madrid and Switzerland.
  • This agreement could open a period of greater stability in the tense relations between socialists and separatists.
  • Partido Popular criticized the agreement as a 'humiliation' and Podemos has threatened to reject the measure in the Congress.
  • Both parties have had to give in their stance to reach an agreement and this pact is expected to increase cooperation among institutions.

Conclusion: This agreement between Junts and the PSOE shows a significant advance towards the normalization of Catalan politics. This step could help Catalonia and Spain progress on various critical fronts in a constantly changing and competitive world.
