The irony with which Carles Puigdemont has reacted to the decision of the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court to prosecute him for terrorism crimes in relation to the events investigated in the Tsunami Democràtic case contrasts with the silence that the PSOE has maintained on the matter.
After the first hours since the news broke this afternoon, not a single socialist leader had come out to evaluate it in public, so the party’s sentiments had to be expressed in private. And that is where the first messages suggest significant discomfort with the decision and the times managed with the Supreme Court.
“This is no longer a coincidence,” said a socialist leader at the end of the plenary session in Congress. A first reaction that the Being chain has also captured. “What is this thing they do called?” or “The Supreme Court could set up a party or sit directly on the right-wing bench,” were the statements reported by the Prisa group radio.
The Supreme Court’s decision comes when the PSOE and Junts are finalizing, this time with better prospects, an agreement on the proposal for the amnesty law that was stalled by the vote against Puigdemont’s party at the beginning of the year.
