Editorial: El País

• Today marks a year since Catalonia entered a new phase with regional elections in which the pro-independence camp lost the absolute majority in the Parlament for the first time.
• The change that Illa promised has been reflected in areas beyond the Govern, with hallmarks such as predictability and respect for institutional legality.
• Predictability has brought a governing style that respects most of the legacy received and avoids abrupt changes of party.
• In his nine months in power, Illa has sought political centrality, weaving alliances with several sectors, including the Royal House, the central government, unions, and the business sector.
• The support for the Govern is fragile with only 42 deputies out of a total of 135, and the first year without approving the Budget.
• The Govern faces two major challenges: resolving the issue of Catalonia's commuter trains and the agreement on autonomous financing.

Conclusion: The resolution of these two chronic problems is crucial for Salvador Illa to be able to complete the term and culminate the normalization of Catalan public life.
