Esquerra proposes speeding up the processing of an amnesty law promoted by Parliament and urges the Government and the Generalitat to advance in the task of “dejudicializing” the conflict and advance in dialogue, negotiation and the search for agreements.
Last Friday, the Government and Generalitat closed a “framework agreement for dialogue and negotiation”, in which both Executives commit to “end the judicialization of the political conflict” and to opt for the path of negotiation, in addition to there being “at least” two meetings of the dialogue table in this 2022.
The Republicans, satisfied with the result of the meeting between Minister Laura Vilagrà and Minister Félix Bolaños, will put some of these issues to a vote in the Catalan Chamber in a motion together with the proposal to go faster with the approval of a law of amnesty promoted by Parliament to “put an end to judicialization and repression”.
The Republicans are thus trying to recover the “spirit” of resolution 102 approved during the general policy debate in Parliament, which committed the Catalan parliamentary groups to processing an amnesty bill to present it to Congress.
In this sense, the ERC motion that will be debated in the next plenary session of Parliament intends, according to that formation, to take the debate on “the end of the repression” to Madrid and “do it this time through a parliamentary mandate large”.
In a statement, the ERC spokesperson, Marta Vilalta, has assured that her party knows “that amnesty and self-determination are the best solution and that a collective awareness with anti-repressive solidarity is necessary, to denounce that reality is not it can ignore, minimize the effects and prevent us from dividing, weakening and abandoning us, as repression seeks”.
In the ERC text, it is proposed that the Parliament recognize the full legitimacy of the various ideologies and political projects that derive from it, whatever the vision of the political future of Catalonia, and reaffirms the need to “try to reach agreements” to “advance in the political resolution of the conflict”.
The existence of “multiple open processes” against the independence movement is also denounced and the need to “stop the judicial process, overcome the judicialization and put an end to the criminalization and repression of the independence movement, guaranteeing legal security” is reaffirmed.
That is when the text “urges the Government and the Generalitat to contribute to this dejudicialization and to commit to the fundamental rights of the people identified with each project”.
The motion emphasizes the “conviction” that “dialogue, negotiation and the search for agreements” should serve to find mechanisms that guarantee channeling the great consensus in Catalan society “in favor of an end to repression, of the republic as form of government and a democratic resolution of the conflict that goes through the ability to decide the future of Catalonia”.
Finally, it is committed to articulating “an anti-repressive strategy as unitary and consensual as possible”, which defends rights and guarantees the accompaniment and solidarity with all “retaliated” people.
