• Sentence of the procés. The Supreme agrees to unanimously condemn the leaders of 1-O

  • Court and defendants. That is how the process has been judged

The sentence of the procés was not invited to the reception of the National Holiday Day . No one expected his arrival until next week. The Royal House had not given him an invitation. But, unexpectedly and surprisingly, the procés sentence decided to leave his residence in the Supreme Court to accompany the authorities of the State on such a designated day. He accessed the Royal Palace through the door, passed the security checks, climbed the stairs next to the other guests, guarded by the Palace's halberds, and slipped into the Throne Room . Next to the head of state, who pretended not to see her.

The sentence appeared adorned with its finery on the covers of all the newspapers of the Court and outside the Court. With its 500 folios, with its crimes of sedition and embezzlement against the Catalan independence leaders, but without the finishing touch of the rebellion. The Supreme Court ruling took positions, occupied the center of all the corrillos and became the guest star of the reception. There was no talk of anything else. The elephant in the room is an expression that is widely used in Anglo-Saxon countries to refer to a problem of enormous proportions that occupies the entire room without anyone wanting to see or talk about it. On this October 12, the sentence of the procés was the elephant in the Throne Room. Something so great that it could not be ignored no matter how much the guests pretended to pretend that they had not seen the first pages of the digital newspapers.

Nobody concealed not seeing the sentence, although no one wanted to rule on the content of the ruling. The sentence was an uncomfortable, annoying, cumbersome and even disturbing guest. People who embody the powers of the State, or who have ever incarnated it, declared themselves astonished, perplexed and, in some cases, shocked at the leak of the sentence to the media. In such circumstances, each one - or each one - gave their accounts of how and where the best kept secret had left the Supreme Court. "How could it happen?" Was the most pronounced phrase. "After an impeccable trial in which the court has extreme guarantees, this is not serious." "These things cannot happen to us." "Someone wanted to cushion the blow or condition the final content of crimes and penalties." And so, almost all the corrillos translated into speculation about the great event. The most wanted man in the royal reception was not the president of the government in office, nor a political leader - which is usually the case when elephants do not appear unexpectedly - but the president of the sentencing court, Manuel Marchena. The impeccable judge of the procés - whose careful work in the oral trial has been praised by half the world - declared himself "disgusted" by such an early appearance of the most awaited ruling.

Nobody expects Catalan authorities to skip the law again after sentencing

The political leaders who had the opportunity to speak with him transmitted all the support and respect for the sentence, whatever their final wording. PSOE, PP and Citizens agree to give a joint and state response to the Supreme Court ruling and the consequences it may have on the streets of Catalonia , in the offices of the Generalitat and in the Parliament . Nobody expects the Catalan authorities to skip the law again and everyone wants the response on the street to end with peaceful demonstrations. With isolated and bearable incidents.

Well looked, the assistance of the uncomfortable guest at the reception of October 12 has its logic. The great problem of the Spanish nation and its State could not be absent from the celebration of the National Holiday. It is true that knowing the ruling against those who broke the laws to try to secede a part of Spain precisely on the Day of the National Holiday of Spain has its one. The Spanish script has long since ceased to be predictable.

Even the exhumation of Franco, who had also accidentally sneaked into the party, could not compete in brilliance with the sentence of the process . And that was another elephant of considerable proportions. The democratic State - Government, Parliament and Supreme - has ordered the exhumation of the remains of who for many years - during the reign of Juan Carlos I - was called "the former head of state" as euphemism not to say Francisco Franco. Pedro Sánchez reported that the operation for the exhumation is about to be launched next week.

The faces in the PSOE are fearful of the elections. The vital tone is Married

Franco's sentence and exhumation left even the 10-N general elections in the background. They were also invited to the reception, as inevitable companions of political leaders. Each of them breathed at the rate set by the polls. The 10-N occupied the rooms dressed in unpredictability, and with the complements of the unknown. The shadow of ungovernability is still there, stubborn and stubborn. The face of the PSOE leaders is cautious and fearful. The electoral repetition may not meet the expectations of a comfortable victory of only a month and a half ago. Sánchez is confident that the Spaniards will be receptive to his message of stability and believes that after 28-A many things have happened that voters will consider.

The face and words of Albert Rivera reflect the delicate and stubborn moment that citizens are going through. A pre-campaign focused on getting their voters out of the house, who are reluctant to go to the polls because they are not happy with their leader's strategy. Rivera is now willing to make common cause with Sánchez after the sentence and no longer use the Catalan issue as an electoral weapon against the socialist leader.

The highest vital tone of the reception was Pablo Casado. The leader of the PP is launched and even believes that he can win the general elections. Their data contemplate the possibility of doubling - doubling, yes - the seats that 28-A had. The estimated figure is 120. A feat that, if produced, would place Casado in the Guinness book of Spanish politics.
