Social pressure has become a central axis of the independence strategy. With the Generalitat installed in the institutional insurrection, separatism signed in the demonstration yesterday in Barcelona the rejection of the Supreme Court ruling on 1-O and the demand for the release of politicians and social leaders convicted of sedition. The march called by ANC and Òmnium Cultural, although less numerous than some of the previous ones, demonstrates the willingness of their leaders to use the protests against Justice to channel the frustration of hundreds of thousands of citizens for the scam of the process . The obligation of the Government is to respond with determination. Without giving up, as Pedro Sánchez has done so far, to any of the instruments contemplated by the law, including the activation of article 155.

The street protests, which had a large separatist political representation, rebounded after the unacceptable actions of the CDR and the rest of the terrorist organizations of independence. The National Court investigates the origin and coordination of the violent commands that set Barcelona on fire a week ago. While waiting to settle responsibilities, the political coverage that the most radical factions of secessionism have found in the Government is very worrying. Torra, surrounded by hundreds of mayors, reiterated yesterday his threat to call another illegal referendum again . And his vice president, Pere Aragonès, demanded the "amnesty" for the coup plotters who in October 2017 tried to subvert the constitutional order. That the ordinary representative of the State in Catalonia affirms that self-determination "is a path without return" constitutes a threat of extraordinary gravity that places the Catalan Government outside the framework of self-government. This requires that the Government, even if it is in office, abandon the electoral tacticism at once and assume its duty to enforce the law in Catalonia. An autonomous community declared in rebellion is equivalent to putting national sovereignty in almoneda. Sanchez must react and must do so as soon as possible.
