Given the decision of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, to continue leading the central Executive, Junts has demanded “explanations” from the also general secretary of the PSOE and has accused him of “electoral tactics” and of wanting to “interfere” in the campaign of the elections to the Parliament on May 12, especially taking into account that he has not made any proposal to reverse the situation he denounces.
The general secretary of JxCat, Jordi Turull, has highlighted from Argelers, from the electoral headquarters of the formation, that Sánchez “could not and could not ignore the context” of the Catalan pre-election when he decided to open a five-day parenthesis just before the race began. Catalan. “It is a serious irresponsibility to use emotions about the suffering represented by unworthy media harassment to engage in electoral or pre-electoral tactics and interfere in the Catalan elections,” said Turull in an assessment without questions, who also pointed out that “using” these circumstances and “trying to turn them into a tool at the service of the survival of your own party is inappropriate for someone of your responsibility.”
“He has not made any proposal or presented any initiative to address” the situation that he denounces, notes Turull, who believes that this reinforces the idea that it is an electoral maneuver. The post-convergent leader has also considered that what is needed are “fundamental reforms” and “not gesticulation.”
The party had already charged in the previous days against Sánchez for, in its opinion, trying to monopolize the focus in the early stages of the Catalan electoral campaign. The party’s candidate, Carles Puigdemont, pointed out at this Sunday’s rally that “Catalonia will not be the float of the PSOE” and stressed that the May 12 contest is about Catalonia “more than ever.” “We are interested in the future of Catalonia, not the future of a political party or a person. We are interested in the future of our children,” said the former president, who has also criticized these days the first secretary and candidate of the PSC for “prioritizing” the situation of his party and attend the meeting of the federal committee of the PSOE that was held on Saturday in Ferraz, in Madrid, instead of campaigning in Catalonia.
Shortly after Sánchez published the letter, 24 hours before the official start of the Catalan electoral campaign, in which he announced a five-day break in his public agenda, Puigdemont invited the head of the central Executive to submit to a question of confidence if He remained at the head of the Government.
Be that as it may, Sánchez’s situation, despite the fact that he has not made any public appearance or issued any message, has been in the media spotlight every day since then.
