  • Negotiations.Pedro Sánchez yields and recognizes Quim Torra as interlocutor again
  • JxCat.Puigdemont tries to influence Sánchez's investiture from Waterloo

ERC already boasts openly of having forced Pedro Sánchez to recognize Quim Torra as an interlocutor and call him before the investiture. "We asked the PSOE that the Catalan institutions and their top leaders had to be respected and that a call to the president was needed as a gesture," Republican spokeswoman Marta Vilalta revealed today .

Vilalta - who is part of the negotiating team that has already met three times with the PSOE - openly admits that at the meeting held in Barcelona last Tuesday they demanded that the Socialists "recognize the [Catalan] institutions and the top leaders of these institutions , as it is, obviously the president of the Generalitat ". But the request was not there. The ERC spokeswoman also clarifies that they asked the PSOE that Torra "can lead and lead, when necessary, contacts to build the political path", that is, be the maximum interlocutor of the Generalitat at the negotiating table on the "conflict political "Catalan. "It is completely logical. Who decides who is the president of Catalonia is citizenship through the Parliament, it is not the Spanish Government," Vilalta abounds in an interview in Nacio Digital. The Republicans had publicly declared through Pere Aragonès that they did not see "necessary" that Torra participate in the negotiating table, but they have been forced to correct the threat of JxCat to boycott their talks with the PSOE.

The PSOE ended up folding to ERC requests, as evidenced by the facts. Thus, it is explained that in the communiqué from the Barcelona meeting, and signed by PSOE, PSC and ERC, the Socialists committed themselves to "address" the "political conflict" from "respect and institutional recognition." And so it is explained that, a day later, Sanchez announced that he included Torra in the round of contacts with the regional presidents prior to the investiture.

Insufficient for JxCat

However, the president of the Generalitat is not satisfied. Yesterday, during the control session held in the Parliament, he already clarified to the PSOE and ERC that the negotiating table should address the "self-determination" of the "amnesty" of the independence prisoners and be supervised by an "international mediator." Today, sources of the presidency of the Generalitat have added that Torra sees insufficient that Sanchez calls him and demands a concrete proposal to "give way to self-determination and the end of repression." "The problem is not a call," the same sources say. And is that JxCat claims an even more leading role for Torra.
