The Junts candidate for mayor of Barcelona, ??Xavier Trias, assured last night that the Catalonia operation “has destroyed Convergència”. In an interview on RAC1, Trias, who ruled out filing a lawsuit in this regard, acknowledged that the Catalonia operation, which as La Vanguardia explains today began on September 12, 2012, “did us harm.”
The Catalonia operation refers to the alleged existence since 2012 of an organization made up of members of the Police, the Government of Mariano Rajoy and the PP that, with the help of journalists and the media, hatched a plan against the Catalan independence movement .
“President Pujol was scared, he made a statement that I think was wrong,” said Trias, referring to the confession of the former president of the Generalitat about the hidden money in Andorra that his father Florenci left him as an inheritance. “We could have done better, many others have not done well and have not destroyed the game,” Trias stressed.
His name was one of those who was speculated to take the step of filing a complaint against the Catalonia operation, after the path opened by the former president of Barça Sandro Rosell, last week, and which the former Minister of Economy, Jaume Giró, took advantage of. However, Trias recalled that at the time he moved a piece judicially but it came out chastened: “I don’t have a tour, if I did, I would present it. Spend the money and have them tell me the same thing they told me again… It generates great indignation in me “, argument.
An indignation that he extended to the media, because although it seems that everything has recently come to light, “he has known for years that they are sausages and that they make sausages.”
Trias also charged the current mayoress, Ada Colau, for not having supported him at that time and for having taken advantage of information from the newspaper El Mundo during the electoral campaign about alleged accounts in Switzerland. “I don’t understand why he kept saying things that don’t make sense,” he lamented. “Mrs. Ada Colau, who is very theatrical, always has intelligent excuses, but they do not correspond to reality. I’m sorry because in politics not everything is valid,” she added.
Yesterday the spokesman for JxCat, Josep Rius, demanded that the PSOE unblock the investigation commission in the Congress of Deputies on the Catalonia operation and affirmed that if the PSOE does not unblock this commission “it will show that it does not even have the will to clarify these facts” and that it is an “accomplice” in the “dirty war” of the State against the independence movement.
ERC, JxCat, CUP, BNG and PDeCat registered a document in Congress last week in order to open the period for the parliamentary groups to name their representatives in the investigation commission on Operation Catalonia in order to be established “immediately”.
