ERC continues to demonstrate that it intends to keep the Government in a continuous state of alert. It has been proposed to prove it twice on Saturday: Pere Aragonès has warned Pedro Sánchez that his party will return to “exercising self-determination” if the bilateral negotiating table does not advance and Oriol Junqueras has set the same requirement to allow the approval of the General State Budgets, cornerstone of any legislature.

«If [the negotiating table] does not advance, we will again exercise self-determination. We have not come to resign, we have come to gain independence ». In these very explicit terms, the Vice President of the Government has manifested during an ERC conclave held in Salt, Girona, the Catalan province in which independence is more rooted and in which Republicans need to send strong messages to satisfy the expectations of their picture.

"The support for the Budgets depends on the advances in the dialogue table," Junqueras has informed the Government on this same day through an interview granted to El País from the Lledoners prison. The leader of the Republicans has insisted, thus, that the approval of these vital accounts to implement the program agreed between the PSOE and United We can, and, therefore, the durability of the legislature will depend on the success of the negotiation that the Executive and The Generalitat will launch as soon as Sánchez and President Quim Torra set the calendar and the content of the forum. The head of the Catalan Executive intends to demand that the Government negotiate the self-determination, the amnesty of the prisoners and "exiles" and the political recognition of Carles Puigdemont as interlocutor.
