• After the sentence Last hour
  • Strike: Separatism for Catalonia and threatens to consummate secession in the street

The Catalan Government raises the tone and demands Pedro Sánchez to set "a day and an hour for a negotiating table" , while criticizing the National Police for some of their actions during the five days of protest in the streets after the ruling of the Supreme Court that sentenced, on Monday, to sentences of 9 to 13 years in prison to nine independent leaders.

Quim Torra has chaired a cabinet to monitor the riots in Barcelona and other municipalities of Catalonia together with members of the Government and the mayors of Tarragona, Girona and Lleida. The first mayor of Barcelona, ​​Ada Colau, has been absent from the call.

The president , who has appeared in the Palau de la Generalitat before the media accompanied by Vice President Pere Aragonès and the three mayors, believes that the President of the Government in office, Pedro Sánchez, has the "responsibility and obligation" to set that meeting with Catalan political leaders and that "it is more urgent than ever".

Aragonès, in a more serious tone, has urged the Government "to make its police act with the proportionality and opportunity set by the criteria of any democratic police." "We have been asking Pedro Sánchez for a meeting for a long time and he only sends the Interior Minister," he criticized.

The leader of Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya said: "We are in a very serious situation. First, for the sum of one hundred years in prison of a sentence that cuts basic rights and freedoms."

Both Torra and Aragonès have wanted to get rid of the scenes of violence seen this week in the streets of Catalonia. "Violence has never been and will not be our flag. We make a call to joint responsibility. No form of violence represents us," said the president , who also added: "We will get as far as the people of Catalonia want to go."
