The meeting scheduled for today between the PSOE and Junts with a verifier involved continues to arouse a logical morbidity because of what it means to sit at a table with the party that governs Spain with a political leader who, if he entered today through La Jonquera, would be arrested. However, we should not raise too many expectations about this meeting and the next ones, because what was really important was the previous sessions that allowed the investiture agreement for Pedro Sánchez to be closed. From now on, what it is about is gaining trust between both parties to try to bring positions that are very far apart closer together. The support of a foundation with the experience of the Henry Dunant Humanitarian Center, of which Javier Solana is honorary president, can help with this.
The reaction on the part of the judiciary against the amnesty and, especially, the creation of a commission in Congress to investigate the so-called lawfare – judicial procedures that hide political persecution – will not only break this path of dialogue. open, but can help consolidate it. Let’s not fool ourselves: both the PSOE and Junts are interested in bringing to light everything that has happened in recent years. Operation Catalunya, for example, has shown us how many cases can be manipulated with police, judicial and media connivance. At the moment no one has paid for it, but there are many open cases. That members of Congress try to know what happened during these years to try to stop the independence movement from the sewers of the State should not worry any Democrat.
In recent days, controversial decisions from judges of the National Court or from the ineffable members chosen by the PP in the General Council of the Judiciary continue to appear, raising doubts about their arbitrariness. Like now wanting to look for new crimes against Carles Puigdemont to make his amnesty difficult. It seems as if they wanted to control the situation “from behind”, like that famous message from the popular Ignacio Cosidó about the court that was to judge the leaders of the process.
