  • Appearance: Pedro Sánchez members force Carmen Calvo to appear in Congress for the Open Arms this week

We can be immersed in a strategy to reduce decibels with the PSOE, with the aim of looking for an approach that offers some option to sit down for negotiation. It happens that, in this path, ramalazos sprout like the Open Arms or Catalonia that place the wall between them again. United We joined in the Congress yesterday the Catalan independentistas to censor a report made by the Government on Catalonia to dismantle the lies of the process abroad. The acting Foreign Minister, Josep Borrell, will not have to give explanations since the PSOE saved his appearance by joining his votes to those of PP, Cs and Vox.

"Using public resources for partisan interests is serious," said United Deputy Podemos Aina Vidal , who considered that the Executive has allocated "public resources to make the argument to Citizens." He even described as "stupid" the report for contradicting the president of the government, who in 2018 said: "Spain must recognize that Catalonia is a nation." He also recalled that Miquel Iceta, leader of the PSC, has argued that «Catalonia is a nation». Vidal sentenced that Sánchez and Iceta, according to the report of the Secretary of State of Global Spain , would be "faithful agents of the independence story." The report, entitled The reality about the independence process , has, among other purposes, «to refute the falsehoods spread about the process and the situation in Catalonia».

ERC and JxCat called for Borrell's appearance because, in his opinion, the report contains "injurious assertions about Catalan society" and, they believe, "also violates the presumption of innocence" of imprisoned politicians. JxCat spokeswoman Laura Borràs called the report's notes "lies." Vidal, the deputy of United We Can, went further in its censorship to the Government: «They have put at the forefront of foreign policy their own Quim Torra». «Shabby, hooligan and biased», thus described the text. Censorship of Borrell and, therefore, the position of the Government, was also supported by the PNV and Bildu. "They lie, manipulate and resort to all kinds of fallacies to try to justify how a state that says democratic behaves in a totalitarian manner," said Mertxe Aizpurua (Bildu).

The Government appeals to State issues such as Catalonia to sustain the unfeasibility of a coalition. They consider in Moncloa that their position on the process and their solution sows an abyss between them. United We have promised the PSOE loyalty in matters of state, such as the Catalan conflict, renouncing the referendum agreed as a solution. But in the socialist ranks they don't trust. It has purple leaders in mind talking about "political prisoners" and the commons rescuing the referendum agreed as a solution.
