The congress of the realtor organizations of Barcelona and Lleida adopted a plan to separate from the General Council of the boards of Spanish Realtors. Realtors of Girona made this decision in April, reports ee24.com citing Spanish media.
Realtors of Barcelona, Girona and Lleida constitute 30% of the total Spanish real estate agents. According to the heads of the boards of Realtors of Barcelona and Lleida, the decision to secede from the center is in no way associated with the political situation in the country. The "divorce" og the organizations was the result of the confrontation between the General Council and the Catalan boards, which lasted for two years.
The stumbling block was the controversy about the document, giving broad powers to panels and boards and establishes the principle of voluntary cooperation and interaction between them. The Catalan Law on professional boards gives the possibility of signing this document, but the General Council is not willing to negotiate on this issue.
On the side of the Catalan Realtors rose and the Constitutional Court, which recognized the legitimacy of the regional boards. Thus the claim of the 50 deputies of the Spanish Parliament, who tried to challenge the decision of the regional boards to secede from the center, was rejected.
