• Brief: The Prosecutor's Office denounces that the release in semi-freedom of prisoners "has become a generality"
  • Three days.The Prosecutor's Office notes that Sànchez does not meet the requirements for a 72-hour permit

Jordi Sanchez pointed out yesterday to Esquerra Republicana for having moved based on electoral strategies during the last days of October 2017, when the Parliament of Catalonia approved the unilateral declaration of independence (DUI).

The former president of the Catalan National Assembly, who is serving a nine-year prison sentence and went to the TV3 Questions Ask Freqüents program last night during his second 48-hour prison permit, explained that the unilateral route was reached "because of the disunity of independence "and referring explicitly to ERC said:" I do not know to what extent when a part of those who were at that table and were part of the Government defended the declaration of independence expected President Puigdemont to call elections. "

According to the former leader of the ANC, in the days before the secessionist proclamation of October 27, 2017 in the Catalan Chamber, when both he and the president of Òmnium Cultural, Jordi Cuixart, had already been imprisoned preventively by the Court National, "the fundamental commitment was for dialogue" and not for unilateralism.

The former leader of the ANC explained on TV3 that he does not regret the events that led him to prison because "the right to demonstrate is above any other attitude that wants to limit the will of citizens." During the interview, he only acknowledged that he would not repeat the iconic image of September 20, 2017 in which, together with Cuixart, he addressed the protesters up on the hood of a Civil Guard vehicle, since he considers that stamp "to be has subsequently used. "

On his stay in prison for 860 days, Sanchez said he has become accustomed, but "that does not mean giving up, but adapting." He explained that on December 4, 2017 it was a turning point for him: "When Judge Llarena authorized the departure of his companions, but neither mine nor Jordi Cuixart's, Oriol Junqueras and Joaquim Forn touched bottom, but I understood that it would take time on leaving. "

The former president of the ANC considers that the dialogue table between the Spanish Government and the Generalitat is an opportunity that cannot be missed, but he also expressed his reservations: "If the dialogue works, it is the best antidote against unilateralism. We go with a proposal to resolve the conflict, which is self-determination, but that of the other party is not yet known. "

Even so, Sànchez believes that unilateralism is a trick that independence must maintain: "The unilateral way is a right that we cannot give up, but it is an instrument that must be used when it allows us to win."
