Independence has already begun its electoral campaign . Before the impending ruling of the Supreme Court, which will foreseeably condemn those accused of rebellion or, failing that, of sedition, the Government of the Generalitat -in the hands of JxCat and ERC- reminded Pedro Sánchez yesterday that a possible support for his investiture In addition to a political price - the pardon of those convicted of coup - has another economic price that, for the moment, have been valued at more than 1.3 billion euros . The Vice President and Minister of Economy and Finance, Pere Aragonès , announced yesterday that he will take the Government to court for the deliberate non-payment of advances in tax collection that corresponds to the Autonomous Communities. It is true that the blockage of such funds is due to the irregular internality of the Government and the impossibility of Pedro Sánchez to approve General Budgets and continue mortgaged to those prepared by the last PP Government in 2017. But they are not the inevitable consequences of the lack of Government what Aragonès wants to highlight, but to question the current regional financing model and take advantage of the supposed discontent of many Autonomous Communities - such as Valencia - to wear down the State and impose its claims on the media agenda .

This is the reason why Aragonès, whose Government has also extended the Budgets in the last two years due to the lack of a parliamentary majority, has warned that the Generalitat will go "to the end" and has called on the rest of the Autonomous Communities to join the demand you plan to file. It is, without a doubt, a new example of institutional disloyalty of the independence movement, to which any opportunity serves to attack the State. It is no accident that the announcement of Aragonès arrives one day after its president, Quim Torra , made a call to raise the level of "confrontation" with the State and to resume the path of "democratic rupture" from the next Diada . In this way, independence opens a double front, political and judicial , before the start of the new course.

But the intensification of the challenge is the evidence of the need to put an end to the political instability in which Spain has been located since the end of 2015. Interinity is a serious problem that could affect the proper functioning of services in some Autonomous Communities and that, As many indicators warn, it puts the good progress of the economy at risk. Yesterday, export data were made public - one of the pillars on which the exit from the crisis was cemented - and although they continue to show positive figures, they fell 6.6% in the month of June. These data are not explained only by the international situation, but are conditioned by the lack of a stable government with a solid reform program that makes our economy more competitive and secure.
