Except for a last minute surprise, which cannot be ruled out taking into account the continuous operetta that Catalan politics has become, Junts will abstain today in the second vote on the inauguration of Pere Aragonès.
The decision of the conglomerate led by Puigdemont, pending the decision of the EU Court on its handover to Spain, prolongs the institutional blockade in the Generalitat and, ultimately, may cause the repetition of elections.
The deadline clock
two months
It has already started to run and all the options on the table are bad for the citizens of Catalonia.
If the independence movement finally manages to articulate a legislative agreement, the confrontation with the State will continue to be the roadmap of a

I revive.
If, on the contrary, Junts remains in the blockade, the Catalans will have to go to the polls again, which will only prolong the paralysis that Catalonia has dragged on since Torra's disqualification and the derailment of the last legislature .
The first thing to underline is that the disagreements between Esquerra and Junts are not due to questions of the government's program, nor are they due to ideological differences.
We are witnessing a stark struggle for power, waged without scruples and without taking into account the serious health, economic and social crisis that Catalonia is going through.
The incipient fourth wave of the pandemic has caused all the Covid indicators to rebound, which adds to the permanent flight of companies and the general deterioration of commercial and productive activity.
The rudeness of Aragonès at the Seat plant, during the visit of the King and the main executives of a factory that continues to be one of the engines of the Catalan industrial fabric, reveals the separatist closure and the continued contempt for the problems that really concern at street level.
In this context it is necessary to insert the obscene pact reached between the formation led by Oriol Junqueras and the CUP, which contemplates, among other crazy economic and fiscal events, the modification of the Mossos riot control protocol.
This agreement means handing over the governance of Catalonia to an anti-system party that has no qualms about justifying and even encouraging street disturbances and violence as a method to achieve political objectives.
Catalonia has reached this degree of putrefaction, with elites and a civil society absorbed in the face of the paranaoia of secessionism that continues to feed the utopia of secession despite the social fracture that its segregationist drift has generated.
Nobody seems to demand accounts either a diluted Illa from a ruling class installed in an impudent struggle for the hegemony of the independence movement.
The negotiation between partners, in theory, has run aground due to the role reserved for the ghostly, albeit very expensive, Council for the Republic that controls Puigdemont.
