After an absence of two days in the Junts campaign, former president Carles Puigdemont reappeared this Wednesday at the Jean Carrère space in Argelers, at a rally with the militants of his party in Barcelona, ??in which what he said was very present. It happened after the municipal elections in May last year, when the PSC agreed with the PP and the commons to deprive Xavier Trias of the mayor’s office of the Catalan capital.
In his reappearance, Puigdemont, who had been out of focus since Monday due to the death of his mother, has charged against the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and has highlighted that the five-day break of the head of the central Executive to reflect ” It is not about democratic regeneration” but about “the electoral expectations” of the PSC and Salvador Illa. “The best democratic regeneration for Catalans is called independence”, he later pointed out.
In his speech he was harsh with the socialists once again and invited Sánchez to begin the “democratic regeneration” for the PSOE and pointed out some of the ministers of his Government, such as the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande Marlaska, or the Defense Minister, Margarita Robles, who oversees the National Intelligence Center, responsible for espionage on independence leaders with Pegasus.
Likewise, the former president and candidate of JxCat has questioned whether Sánchez can promote major reforms in Spain since a qualified majority is necessary for there to be profound changes, so the support of the Popular Party is necessary.
At the beginning of his speech, Puigdemont also warned about a tripartite future. The candidate of the post-convergents has assured that although there is still an electoral battle ahead, the panorama is already clear, and has presented the vote on May 12 as a dilemma between a Government of the Generalitat headed by JxCat or a tripartite that converts the leader of the Catalan socialists, Salvador Illa, as president. “The other option is ours, which proposes a face-to-face relationship with the State and with the world, which defends Catalonia without asking permission in Madrid,” he expressed.
The former convergent mayor of Barcelona also participated in today’s event. Trias has pointed out that, he was in Amer this Tuesday, at the funeral of Puigdemont’s mother, he has called it a “shame” that he could not be present and has called Sánchez’s absence in “a real comedy and a joke.” the public agenda for five days and for the socialists to talk about regeneration.
