As if it were a 'sketch' of the political satire television program Polònia , TV3 has issued a video showing the reaction of the president of the Generalitat, Quim Torra, before the refusal of the president of the acting Government, Pedro Sánchez, to pick up the phone.

After not being able to speak with Sánchez this past Saturday and having sent him a letter, Torra returned to telephone Sanchez this Sunday, but he could not speak with him because from Moncloa they have assured him that he was reunited and that he could not put on, although they would try to perform the contact below, as indicated by sources of the Generalitat.

Torra considers "of great irresponsibility" that the head of the acting Executive refuses "repeatedly" to pick up the phone and "hide" behind the leader of the PSC, Miquel Iceta . This is how he responded this Sunday afternoon to the letter sent by Iceta asking him to condemn the violent actions "as many times as necessary", until the disturbances by the sentence of the process cease, and to express his support for Mossos d'Esquadra, Police National and Civil Guard for the work of these days.

Hours after the second call rejected to Torra, TV3 broadcast a video with the reaction of the Catalan president to Sanchez's refusal to get on the phone. In the video you can see a member of the Torra team who is not told by another person who doesn't see his face.

With a forced representation, a Torra team advisor goes to the office of the Catalan president, knocks on the door and communicates to Torra, sitting in his office that Sanchez "can not be put, for now" and that if he can get throughout the day they "will tell us."

At that moment Torra asks again: "What can not be put?" , to which the member of his team responds again that "no" and Torra, with a forced representation, replies "it is incredible" . The other person tells him that he "has more important things" and Torra does not hesitate to answer "what the fuck!" removing the chair of his writer trying to make clear his anger at the attitude of the acting president.

The reaction of Torra continues and when it seems that the member of his team is going to leave, the Catalan president points out that "on days like this and they don't get on the phone" . Torra babbles, approaches the desk again and seems to start reading, while the person informing him of Sánchez's refusal leaves.

The forced attitude of Torra and the other person, as well as the possibility that everything was being recorded just at the moment when the resident of the Generalitat receives the response from Pedro Sánchez have made the users of social networks have compared the video with a sketch more typical of a comic program than of a political reality .

"It seems that José Mota and the aberroncho are going to enter anywhere," says one user, while some others ask that they give an Oscar, "but an Oscar Mayer" to the Catalan president.

The head of the acting Executive rejected on Sunday a new telephone call from the Catalan president, who from Moncloa has called to condemn violence "without half measures . "

It was precisely Grande-Marlaska who, in a later press conference, warned Torra that it is "essential" that he and his government condemn the wave of violence "firm, round, without shades or half measures" this week.

In this same idea, the leader of the Catalan socialists, Miquel Iceta , sent a letter to Torra urging him to condemn the violent actions "as many times as necessary", until the disturbances in Catalonia cease, and to express his support for Mossos d'Esquadra, National Police and Civil Guard for the work of these days.

Iceta also referred to Torra's unsuccessful calls to Sánchez and has said that before these talks take place it is "essential" that the Catalan president meet with the parliamentary groups.

Torra has responded to Iceta, also in an epistolary way , pointing out that the sentence of the 'procés' should be a cause for concern for any Democrat, although "it seems that the president of the Government does not see it that way" because "he repeatedly refuses to take the phone when it is the president of the Generalitat who calls him ".

"This attitude is of great irresponsibility at a time like the present and, at the same time, a serious neglect of duties. I ask you to move President Sánchez to stop hiding behind you and agree to sit down to talk and negotiate "says Torra in the letter.

Torra also makes reference to Iceta's request that before holding talks with Sánchez he meets with the presidents of the parliamentary groups or the work of the Space for Dialogue is resumed.
