  • Reactions: Quim Torra avoids condemning violence after altercations

The main employer of Catalonia, Foment del Treball, has issued an unusually hard statement against the president of the Catalan Generalitat , Quim Torra, and demands that he stop "encouraging protests" and avoid an escalation that leads to "the destruction" of the economy. The employer who chairs the former Unió deputy, Josep Sanchez Llibre, claims as the first point "responsibility to public institutions, political parties and their leaders." He says that "encouraging mobilizations, citizen protests and the occupation of strategic infrastructures from the Generalitat de Catalunya, which has the duty and obligation, in addition to preserving citizen security and the normal functioning of public services, represents an extreme contradiction that derives in the confrontation between protesters and the security forces. "

And it requires a rectification. "We understand that it is urgent and necessary to correct this anomaly and that its top officials rectify it from the most scrupulous respect for legality."

Foment also misses the "condemnation of violence." In his opinion, "the legitimate protest and freedom of expression do not justify in any case the violent actions that have serious consequences for coexistence and social cohesion. Mossos d'Esquadra and the rest of the State security forces must preserve order in our cities. "

Finally, it warns about the serious damage to the economic activity of Catalonia. "The reputation of Catalonia and Barcelona is a capital of high value that reports great benefits to different economic and industrial sectors such as tourism, international events and fairs, business investments, the activity of prestigious universities and the recognition of being one of the main and most attractive territories of the Mediterranean and Southern Europe. Avoiding the destruction of this capital is a responsibility that we all must share. "

Sanchez Llibre, who sponsored last year the celebrated meeting of Pedralbes between the President of the Government in office, Pedro Sánchez, and Torra, is again offered. "From Foment del Treball we offer our collaboration to contribute to the construction of a climate of dialogue at the beginning of this new stage that concludes precisely a decade of walls and silences."
