It is said that ERC expects a "gesture" from the State Advocacy to invest Sanchez. Euphemism admits many degrees, but calling a claudication of an institution a gesture for the personal interest of an unscrupulous candidate is not euphemism: it is complicity in a sordid maneuver of power. What ERC is demanding is that the Government betray the State. That it pressures the State Advocacy to adopt the separatist mental framework, declaring the nullity of the trial and supporting the release of Junqueras. This is not at all what the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union demands, which only recognized the immunity of Junqueras once the electoral results were proclaimed. Let us insist: the CJEU does not say that Junqueras should get out of jail, but that he had to go to collect the minutes in Brussels before proceeding to the plea to be tried for his crimes. That is why it would be shameful for Sanchez, forcing his organic dependence on the Ministry of Justice, to force the Advocacy to submit to ERC blackmail in exchange for an abstention .

By the way of such a subjugation, Sanchez's credit would no longer be destroyed, which his radical gangs had long since exhausted, but that of the State Advocacy itself, which described the facts of 1-O as sedition and which in the preliminary ruling he defended, literally, "that Spanish law only recognizes immunity to Spanish deputies and senators with respect to criminal proceedings in which oral proceedings have not yet been opened on the date they were elected." That was not the case with Junqueras. And the State Advocate ended like this, just a few weeks ago!, Remembering that the ERC leader was no longer in provisional prison: "He must serve a prison sentence, following the sentence imposed on 4/10/19" . Are you going to clamor clamorfully now for contenting Sanchez , further deteriorating the image of Spanish Justice in Europe and strengthening separatist propaganda?

That the dignity of the State Advocacy has become the currency of the clandestine marketing between PSOE and ERC is intolerable. That is why Sanchez's request for appearance that PP and Cs made yesterday is pertinent. Recall that Edmundo Bal was already purged of the position he held for refusing to reduce the criminal type of rebellion. The Prosecutor's Office, fortunately, remains unwavering and yesterday asked for the inadmissibility of the nullity petitions filed by Junqueras and the maintenance of the Euroorder against Puigdemont and the suspension of his immunity.

Confront the Government with the State, reinforce the independence speech abroad and condemn internal governance to the constant whim of a convicted of coup. Sanchez is ready for all this under the Christmas holidays. An unprecedented infamy.
