Josep Rull

Josep Rull is the current President of the Parliament of Catalonia. He is newsworthy due to recent legal challenges and ongoing plans to expand the Parliament building. Specifically, Rull has announced that the Parliament will appeal a court ruling that invalidated its hiring practices for drivers, which required a B2 level of Catalan proficiency. He defends the Parliament's adherence to the law in its selection processes and views the court's decision as potentially affecting the broader Catalan administration. Additionally, Rull presides over the Parliament as it moves forward with long-delayed expansion plans, including constructing a new building on the site of former police stables. These developments highlight Rull's role in navigating legal complexities and overseeing infrastructural changes within the Catalan Parliament.
