Jordi Cornet (PP) added that "the crux of the issue is whether the egg came first or the egg" Marc Ruis (ICV) said " Election Day is an element that transcends entertainment, "while José Manuel Villegas (Ciutadans) concluded that" it would produce a collision between the two events at different levels, as organizational media.
