• The pre-agreement signed between the ERC executive and the PSC could allow the investiture of Salvador Illa, winner of the elections in Catalonia, as the new president of the Generalitat.
• The pact promises stability for Catalonia after years of agitation and negative social and economic effects caused by the pro-independence movement.
• The agreement is beneficial for both sides. The socialists would achieve the presidency, and the republicans would make a significant stride towards Catalan self-government.
• The agreement provides for increasing fiscal sovereignty for Catalonia, as well as strengthening the Catalan language and Catalonia's international profile.
• The Popular Party expressed its indignation at the agreement, describing it as a coup d'état.

Conclusion: The pact between the ERC and PSC could mark the beginning of a period of greater stability in Catalonia, though its implementation requires substantial efforts and resilience to opposition. It's a significant step toward fair financing and self-government, which could also benefit other autonomous communities.
