In an unexpected way, the president of the CEOE decided yesterday to support the Government of Pedro Sánchez in the unlawful claim to forgive the crimes of sedition to the

procés

coup plotters

, a decision not justified except for Sánchez's personal interest.

Although

Antonio Garamendi

He then wanted to clarify his statements on TVE - where he stated that "if things go back to normal, the pardons are welcome" - the truth is that he endorsed the arguments of the Government - with which he still has several pending negotiations - by recalling that it is a matter of of a power of the Executive and that "are part of the rule of law." In this way, Garamendi placed the employers - despite acknowledging that the CEOE does not have a unitary position - in line with Catalan businessmen, who, through the presidents of the Círculo de Economía, Javier Faus, and Foment del Treball , Josep Sánchez Llibre, have defended the relevance of the grace measure for the sake of an alleged normalization of relations between the Generalitat and the Government.One would have to wonder what the representatives of the Catalan bourgeoisie understand by normalizing relations with political leaders who have recognized that they do not regret the institutional coup of 1-O and have announced their intention to repeat it.

In this sense, the solidity and

firmness demonstrated by Pablo Casado must be

valued.

, who did not hesitate to contradict the employers' leaders of Catalonia yesterday, on the second day of the annual meeting of the Círculo de Economía in Barcelona, ​​and remind them that pardons are "shameful concessions" that will only "bring frustration", since "Nationalism is insatiable" and appeasement strategies are useless with it. In addition, as Garamendi himself recognized, the granting of pardons is likely to be useless. Recent experience shows that it is naive to think that separatism is willing to negotiate anything other than holding a referendum and building a republic. Or that the photo that Pere Aragonès finally agreed to take with King Felipe VI is proof of ERC's will for dialogue,since in reality it was more a deference to the Korean president than to the Spanish head of state. As agreed with Puigdemont and with the CUP, the president's objective is to advance towards the breakdown of the constitutional order.

The support of the Catalan Church for pardons was

also surprised yesterday

.

In a statement from the ten dioceses of Catalonia, the bishops defend that to resolve "conflict situations" it "needs something more than the application of the law", so they ask "to move forward with sincere feelings of mercy and forgiveness."

In this way, Sánchez met yesterday with the unexpected support of a part of the Church and of the main business associations, who have decided to side with the Government in the application of a grace measure that disavows the TS.

Thus, the alarming network of support - clients? - that the Government is achieving in its laundering of separatism is confirmed.
