The left faces the general elections of November 10 mired in the frustration of Pedro Sánchez's failure to form Government and with the horizon of deepening the division of his ranks, if finally Íñigo Errejón confirms his candidacy. Despite the ideological and organic differences, there is something leftist forces continue to share: their transaction with nationalism, their futile and counterproductive efforts to try to tame the tiger of sovereignty and their effort to confuse the symptoms of distension with genuflection before formations that defy the constitutional framework. Quim Torra himself , to whom the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia has given 48 hours to remove the banner on the prisoners from the Generalitat's balcony, has reiterated his insurrectional challenge if the 1-O sentence is condemnatory.

In this context, the entry of the PSC in the Council of Diplocat , the entity articulated by the Generalitat in 2012 to publicize the independence process and strengthen the external action of the Government, is unacceptable. The party led by Miquel Iceta has justified access to this body of Laia Bonet , PSC councilor in Barcelona, ​​for the ability to control their activities from within. It is a puerile subterfuge that hides the underlying issue: the legitimacy of an organ that Josep Borrell described as "fundamental instrument to attempt the internationalization of the process ". The Foreign Minister must disallow his co-religionists. However, the fact is that the decision of the PSC constitutes a clear proof of the inability of the Socialists to embry the secessionist drive of Ada Colau, to the extent that Bonet has joined the Diplocat as a representative of the Consistory of the Catalan capital . If it is added that Colau has already announced that Jaume Asens , of a purely sovereignist profile, will once again lead the candidacy of confluence of Podemos for Barcelona on 10-N, the will of the leftist group to perpetuate its collusion strategy is clear With the secessionists. A road map that connects with Pedro Sánchez's allies in the motion of censure, although now the socialist leader tries to depart from them by mere electoral calculation.

It should be remembered that Diplocat was conceived by the Catalan Government as part of the "state structures" that, in theory, should underpin the future Catalan republic. The objective was to articulate their own diplomacy, undermining the powers of the State Administration and completely surpassing the external representation - fundamentally linked to trade - of the rest of the autonomous communities. According to the Court of Auditors, he received 16 million euros during the six years of the process . The Government closed it after the application of article 155 in December 2017, although Torra reopened it again in July of the following year, coinciding with the reopening of embassies.

All this led to the inspection of the various delegations of the Generalitat, in addition to the judicial siege of Diplocat following the trial for 1-O. With this background, it causes stupor and deep concern that the socialists, instead of fortifying the constitutionalist bloc, get on their knees before separatism . It is clear, although now rehearsing a belligerent electoral rhetoric with nationalism, that Sanchez has no desire to stop the reactionary drift of the left.
