Albert Rivera has assured that security in Catalonia is not guaranteed with Quim Torra in charge of the Generalitat and has said that this afternoon he will require Pedro Sánchez in the Moncloa that Torra be stopped, that the Constitution be respected and that "we study the application from 155 until the law is guaranteed. " "We have to protect the Catalans and remove Torra because we cannot have a suicide driver in charge of such an important community. Torra must be stopped to regain control, freedom and coexistence," he reiterated.

The president of Citizens has also summoned the Catalans to a concentration next Sunday at 12 noon in the Plaza Sant Jaume in Barcelona under the motto "Enough already. Justice and coexistence".

Rivera had an act at a Galician cultural center in Horta, a working-class neighborhood north of the city. His arrival was scheduled at 12:30 in the morning and half an hour earlier, Arran, the radical leftist youth group linked to the Cup, had called a protest at the door against Ibex 35 and against "ethnic hatred." From early in the morning, the streets near the Saudade center were already taken by the Mossos d'Esquadra and the National Police and Rivera arrived 15 minutes before 12 no incident, beyond the whistles of a neighbor from the balcony and the protests about the bajini of a lady who said she dared not scream more in case they accused her of sedition and put her in jail.

A street below was just a dozen teenagers with a flag of Spain (Republican) and another anti-fascist black flag of the Països Catalans. And a banner with the slogans of the demonstration: "Fora l'odi ethnicist and fora Ibex". Above, a somewhat larger group, also of students shouting: "outside fascists of our neighborhood."

In the school of bagpipes and dances were waiting for Inés Arrimadas, Lorena Roldán, Carlos Carrizosa and dozens of Citizen militants with flags of Spain, Europe and the party. Rivera ended up leaving after 12:30 acclaimed with shouts of "freedom."

"I have not come here as a candidate, but as a Barcelona, ​​Catalan and Spanish. I have not come to tell you things, but to pay tribute to you," began the leader of Citizens, who celebrated the bravery of the constitutionalist Catalans and censured those who "among the rubber 2 and those who burn our streets do not choose the path of democracy, "in reference to the position of the Catalan socialists who did not support the motion of Citizens against Torra last week. He has accused them of "turning aside" in the face of the independence challenge.

Rivera has assured that security in Catalonia is a "state emergency" and has asked to park the electoral campaign to "guarantee the freedom of any citizen". "I am going to propose to Sánchez that he put all the security agents at the disposal of the Catalans, the ones that are needed, because the police and the civil guards only annoy the criminals."

The Citizen candidate has strongly criticized those who "wanted to create a tsunami of violence" and reiterated that to guarantee freedom, we must "shield Barcelona and Catalonia safely and with the necessary resources."

"I will be next to the Government of Spain to act," he added. "Terror is being sown in the streets of Catalonia and a decent country cannot afford it. I will be next to the Government of Spain so that the good are calm and the bad do not sleep."

"We cannot give up a span of Spain. The last town of Girona is as Spanish as the Paseo de la Castellana," he concluded.
