The Chamber of Commerce approves by a narrow margin the expansion of 'silver chairs'

Source Summary

The plenary session of the Chamber of Commerce of Barcelona, meeting this Thursday, has narrowly approved the reform proposed by the executive to expand from two to ten the positions granted for greater voluntary contribution, known as " silver chairs ". The body was completely divided in the session, with a tie of 29 votes in favor of the measure and 29 against. The decision was unblocked by the casting vote of the president, Josep Santacreu. The proposal, put forward by the executive last week, generated friction within the corporation; a rift that was staged with the final arithmetic of the body.
