Given the impending ruling of the Supreme Court on the independence coup of 2017 in Catalonia, the separatist forces prepare to mobilize as closely as possible against the rule of law, which they dreamed of bending. Two years after the unilateral declaration of independence, however, secessionists arrive at the celebration of the Diada more divided than ever . The differences between ERC and Junts Per Catalunya on the strategy to follow from now on and the person who should lead the movement cracked months ago the commitment of unity that Puigdemont and Junqueras sealed, despite staying together in the Governor chaired by Torra . To stage a union that has been broken in part by the flight to Belgium of the former president - while the leader of the Republicans faces one of the greatest requests for punishment in the Supreme - Puigdemont himself and Marta Rovira also flee , general secretary of ERC, starred in a video together, broadcast by the ANC, calling for unity of action and a massive participation on the 11th, in line with what was expressed by Torra in Vic, where, paraphrasing the Òmnium motto, he said defiantly: "We are doing it again."

But the joint call of the ANC and Òmnium, under the motto Objective Independence , has already distanced itself from the mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau , and the official, sponsored by the Generalitat and the Parliament, in addition to Cs and PP, have off the main formations of the Catalan left, until now accomplices of independence under the alibi of the right to decide. Neither the Iceta PSC, Colau's new reference partner to the detriment of ERC, nor the Barcelona commons will participate in the events that will be chaired by the Tornarem motto (We will return ).

This division, which is partly the result of the overwhelming response of the State to the coup two years ago, yesterday was reflected in the Catalan Church. While the Cardinal Archbishop of Barcelona, Juan José Omella , called to overcome the social fracture caused by independence, the controversial Bishop of Solsona, Xavier Novell , wondered if the accusation of rebellion defended by the Prosecutor's Office is nothing more than a pretext for "make it possible to apply preventive detention and thus, as the Holy Father says, an anticipation of the penalty is attempted in an abusive manner." A comment that disqualifies the prelate and that, given his position, could be interpreted as an interference in the decisions of Justice, also compromising the impartiality of the Catholic Church and deepening an unnecessary division of the faithful. Unfortunately, the words of the Bishop of Girona, Francesc Pardo , about the right to decide have also been. It is not the function of the bishops to feed the civil confrontation as separatists do.
