The PSC and Junts are fighting a duel in the electoral campaign with the course towards 12- M. Although the socialists are ahead in the polls the fear of a deadlock, and therefore of an electoral repeat, hangs over the atmosphere . That is why Salvador Illa appeals to a useful vote, above ideologies, to avoid a risk that is strengthening these days and allow “to open a new stage of progress in Catalonia”.
The goal of the Catalan socialists is to repeat the triumph of the generals that allowed Sánchez to continue in Moncloa, a result that the president resorted to in his second rally in Catalonia, held yesterday in Montmeló: “I ask you the same as you did on July 23”.
Arriving at the equator of the campaign, Illa admitted that he has “good feelings” about the results coming out of the polls, but warned that “nothing has been done”, that “trust is the worst adversary”, and he encouraged the parish to “continue forward without falling into provocations”. Bypassing the last confrontation with the Junts candidate following the outburst dedicated to him by trade unionist Matías Carnero – who closes the PSC list for Barcelona -, Illa avoided the attacks he receives “from both sides” these days . “I am in the solutions, to open a new stage in Catalonia thanks to the Government of Spain and Pedro Sánchez”.
Amoina tells Illa that with his victory he does not have enough to govern, so he draws “two paths: that of the blockade, the confrontation, the disagreement, the song of the angry, what we have had these ten years”, or “a stage of collaboration, of agreement and of uniting and serving”. The first “leads to paralysis”, he warned, while the second leads to “a new stage of progress”.
In the presence of the General Secretary of the Andalusian PSOE, Juan Espadas and Idoia Mendia (PSE-EE), the PSC candidate advocated the deployment of self-government and the involvement of Catalonia in “this plural and diverse Spain”, for make a turn in relation to “ten years of confrontation and complaints without any positive results for Catalonia”.
The PSC candidate also took the opportunity to make a new promise, that of promoting a new neighborhood law that will provide 800 million euros and which is expected to benefit one hundred districts throughout Catalonia over the next four years.
For his part, Sánchez seconded Illa’s diagnosis: “It has suffered a decade lost in opportunities, rights and social cohesion in Catalonia”, he agreed, for which he distributed blame between Carles Puigdemont and the former president of the Spanish government Mariano Rajoy, and committed himself to the prescriptions of the PSC candidate: “We managed a pandemic together and we will manage together coexistence and progress in Catalonia and Spain”. he promised
