Junts has made an appeal to fill the polls for the general elections next Sunday with pro-independence votes to “send a message” to Spain and the world that the pro-independence movement “has not given up, has not resigned or resigned”. This was expressed this Monday from the city of Lleida the general secretary of the training, Jordi Turull, who has also assured that JxCat is not presenting itself “to save Spain, but to serve Catalonia”, and has warned that “the useful vote for Spain it ends up being the useless vote for Catalonia”.
“We always put the country and the territory before the initials”, added the leader of Junts, who in the 2019 elections, when he was in Soto del Real, was elected deputy to Congress for the province of Lleida, although he was only able to occupy his seat in the chamber for one day. In this regard, he has accused the PSC candidate in the July 23 elections, the president of Congress, Meritxell Batet, of “going further” than what the Supreme Court requested.
Turull, after quoting President Lluís Companys, also pointed out that to “defend democracy, and civil and social rights with all the consequences, Catalonia only has the Catalans”. “The elections are about that,” he has sentenced.
Nogueras, for his part, has assured that the Socialists “have fooled” Esquerra in this last legislature and has detailed that although they may agree with the PSOE on issues such as women’s rights or the defense of the most vulnerable, among others, the socialists “resign” from defending the rights of the Catalans. “In that case they embrace the right,” said the leader of JxCat in Madrid.
In Lleida there are four seats at stake and whoever wins, if they distance themselves from the other political formations, can have the prize of adding two deputies and the three seats in the Senate, as Convergència i Unió did, for example, in 2011 or as It happened to Esquerra in the two electoral appointments of 2019.
Other times, with the closest result, the four seats are distributed among four formations, as happened in 2015 and 2016.
The post-convergent candidate in that constituency, Isidre Gavín, affirmed today that “there is a deputy who dances” and that “Together can obtain a great result” on July 23. “It can be from the PSC, the PP or Junts. Help us because if we succeed, we will be able to defend our interests more forcefully”, claimed Gavín, who lamented the tax plunder and that water management does not favor farmers but hydroelectric plants. “The second deputy can be ours and Junts is the most useful vote to defend the interests of Catalonia”, Gavín concluded.
The post-convergent spokesperson in the Paeria de Lleida, the former Minister of Social Rights Violant Cervera, and Senator Mayte Rivero, who represents the Pyrenees and Val d’Aran regions, also took part in the meeting. “We have a State that goes against us. That is why we are going to defend our people and our territory”, highlighted Cervera.
