A hyperactive Carles Puigdemont since the beginning of the pre-campaign for the Catalan elections of May 12 returned yesterday to brandish the sword of Damocles over the head of Pedro Sánchez.
From his newly opened headquarters in the south of France and territory that the most radical independence movement defines as “Northern Catalonia”, the former president of the Generalitat insisted that if the socialist leader does not bow to his demands, the legislature can give way. already finished. “We will not revive – he assured – a PSOE that is sinking throughout Spain.” It does not matter, according to Puigdemont, if the next central Executive is formed by a right-wing coalition between PP and Vox, and that as one of its first measures it would paralyze or revoke the amnesty law, to the detriment first of all of the leader of Junts himself. , still a fugitive from justice..
Puigdemont has been threatening him for a week: any political maneuver to remove him from the Presidency of the Generalitat will have consequences for Sánchez. There will also be no General State Budgets if the fiscal deficit that he denounces for Catalonia is not corrected, he warned on Friday.
direct threat
Puigdemont was surrounded yesterday by dozens of Junts mayors in the French town of Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda. One after another, the councilors repeated the slogans of the independence party for an hour and a half and paid homage to their leader. Spain steals from us or Catalonia must be respected before Madrid, were the slogans of an act measured down to the last detail. Already as a vassalage, the councilors reiterated one after another that Puigdemont is the only one of the candidates for the regional elections in May who can reverse the servility of the socialist Salvador Illa towards Madrid or the ineffectiveness that, according to Junts insists, the current one has demonstrated. president of the Generalitat and number one of the republicans, Pere Aragonès.
Esquerra responded shortly after and insisted that Puigdemont is staging a personalist project that in no way seeks the good of the Catalans. The relationship between Junts and the Republicans is going through its worst institutional and personal moments. Puigdemont and Oriol Junqueras, leader of ERC, acknowledge not speaking, despite having been the main secessionist figures in the illegal referendum of October 1, 2017. On the other side of the scale is Illa, favorite in the polls and who tomorrow He will have to answer to a commission of inquiry in Congress regarding the bites of the 'koldo plot' during his time as Minister of Health.
