Albert Rivera is late when he demands the application of 155 in Catalonia. You have been advanced. For months, the president of the Generalitat, Quim Torra , has applied it de facto, with an irresponsible resignation of functions whose very serious consequences we are living these days.

Torra has managed to devalue the self-government that has cost so much to recover the Catalans to unsuspected limits. He has the title of Molt Honorable President of the Generalitat, yes, but does not honor the position. There is no one in Palau . And not only because he prefers to leave a meeting to follow up on the riots in Barcelona to join the self-proclaimed Freedom Marches. And not only because he has naturally assumed that he has to travel to Waterloo every month to receive orders from the escaped Carles Puigdemont . And not only because the activity of the Parliament is under minimum, with six laws passed in the last year, only one at the proposal of the Government.

Torra is paralyzed, unable to react, as he showed in his embarrassing institutional statement yesterday or in his appearance, no less shameful and useless, on Wednesday night. The Catalan president has opted for activism and has his Executive mired in inaction, without leadership or authority. And such a government cannot control the street.

Minister Grande-Marlaska , already installed in Barcelona, ​​seems to have taken control, given the demands of Mossos and Police to have a clear political direction. 155 undercover.

But Torra is not solely responsible for the situation of the Government of Catalonia. So is his number two , Pere Aragonès, from ERC, all of his Executive Councilors are fed up but do not raise their voices and JxCAT moderates are horrified by Torra's management but remain silent.

All of them agree privately that the situation is unsustainable but in public they refrain from defending the immediate call for elections. Only possible way out of the current mismanagement. Esquerra is shaking her legs again, as in October 2017, but it is not a time for electoral calculations but for courageous decisions. Torra cannot continue a second more in the Palau de la Generalitat if we do not want Catalonia to become a wasteland. That is the highest priority and anyone who does not work in that direction will be a botifler .
