Junts per Catalunya promised a hot autumn for the Government and has started preparing the firewood to light the fire. The president of the party, , calls for next Monday the leadership of the party with the aim of giving indications on what treatment should be had with the PSOE from now on. The party is determined to break ties with Pedro Sánchez, and will propose this to the militants, who will decide in an internal consultation.
The Junts leadership considers that the PSOE has run out of credit. He has not seen any results materialize in what was agreed with the officialdom of Catalan in Europe, nor with the transfer to the Generalitat of powers over immigration. The post-convergents cannot boast of achievements in terms of self-government or financing and, furthermore, Puigdemont still does not benefit from the amnesty.
The meeting is in Perpignan (in the south of France) and takes place at a time in which Junts has issued repeated warnings to the Government in the face of what it considers to be repeated non-compliance, by the socialist side, with the agreements it has reached. Míriam Nogueras stated this Wednesday in the Congress of Deputies that it is necessary to “start talking about the time for change.”
After the summer, Puigdemont has called up the Junts management team several times, but the meetings have been held in the Belgian city where the former Catalan president has his residence. Puigdemont avoids entering Spain due to the risk of being arrested and, this time, the meeting with the Junts executive will take place in the French city of Perpignan.
“In autumn things will happen that have not happened until now,” repeat several voices from Junts. The station has two months left to run and Puigdemont has activated the mechanisms to give visibility and solidity to the warnings. Nogueras, the leader of Junts in the Congress of Deputies and one of the people trusted by the president of the party, has shown signs of this willingness to raise the tone. How far can you stretch the Junts rope? Nogueras even spoke of “illegal financing”, the red line that many partners marked to withdraw support for Sánchez.
Asked about the warnings issued by the Junts spokesperson, he stated this Thursday from Brussels that “this is a Government that aspires to comply with all its agreements with Junts.”
However, he has admitted that with his parliamentary strength and in the European arena it does not depend only on his will: “There are pacts that do not depend exclusively on the Government of Spain or the parliamentary groups that support the progressive coalition Government, for example, on migration and on co-official languages”, in reference to the transfer of immigration powers to the Catalan Generalitat or the recognition of Catalan as an official language in the EU. “Today it is indisputable that Catalonia and Spain feel good about this coalition government that has led to progress,” Sánchez added. informa Manuel V. Gómez.
The pro-independence party shies away in public from giving wings to the possibility of supporting, together with PP and Vox, a motion of censure against Pedro Sánchez, but is looking into its relationship with the Government. For weeks, the possibility of abandoning the periodic meetings that Puigdemont himself and the general secretary of Junts, Jordi Turull, have held with PSOE emissaries in Switzerland, under the supervision of an international verifier, has been on the table.
