After the relative failure yesterday of 1-O, however, the racist Joaquín Torra has arrived for the puppet president of the Generalitat, when it comes to breaking Spain. According to the former fugitive president Carlos Puigdemont, with the secessionist groups and, according to the Police, with a presumably terrorist command of the CDR, the Catalan president wants to take advantage, on the one hand, of the folly that the new call for general elections and , on the other, of the demagogic reaction that he and his Government will provoke after the Supreme Court ruling. For Joaquín Torra, the Spaniards are "scavenging beasts, vipers, hyenas with a serious DNA tare."

It is about adding to the planned demonstrations against the High Court, acts of open terrorism: the taking of the Catalan Parliament, the collapse of communications and the attacks with explosives in a barracks of the Civil Guard and other symbolic buildings. The weakness of the Government of Pedro Sánchez, accentuated by the electoral period, would facilitate the repetition of what was attempted in September and October of 2017. The Civil Guard has dismantled, at least in part, the projected terrorist action. But the general attempt to break Spain continues , with the explicit collusion of several leaders of the Generalitat.

I have written on more than one occasion that the racist Joaquín Torra is a prison meat. He conspired - and continues to do so - in the same way as the alleged coup makers tried by the Supreme Court and in prison awaiting the sentence signed by the magistrates. Political prudence, unless there is a borderline situation, advises waiting for the new elections to be held. After them, and whatever the Government, it will be necessary to comply with what the Constitution mandates: implement article 155. And imprison Joaquín Torra and his cronies, before they escape as Rajoy's awkwardness allowed them to do Puigdemont and theirs.

It is not a minor issue, of dissensions in transfers between the State and the Autonomous Community. The unity of Spain is at stake, which, after five centuries of history, is the substantial principle that informs the Constitution approved in 1978 by the freely expressed general will of all Spaniards, among them, of course, that of the Catalans.
