• JUDGMENT OF THE PROCESS.The Supreme Court agrees to unanimously condemn the leaders of 1-O by sedition
  • SURVEY THE WORLD - SIGMA DOS. The 'process' ruling divides the Spaniards

The situation in Catalonia, first with the sentence of the procés and later with the incidents in the street in protest to the judicial decision, draws a complex panorama for Podemos. The purple dome is committed to maintaining its social discourse, engulfed by the entire secessionist conflict, while its Catalan partners maintain a harder, critical discourse with the Government, in front of a Pablo Iglesias that balances to remain in moderation. "We ask Pedro Sánchez to accept either the pardon or the repeal of the crime of sedition to obtain the freedom of the prisoners," said Jaume Asens , parliamentary spokesman for the commons , the Catalan sector of Podemos.

The commons, formation led by Ada Colau, has held a meeting to "to draw up solutions that allow the release of political prisoners." Vicky Rosell, magistrate, former deputy of Podemos and purple candidate for 10-N, has attended this debate day, in addition to elected positions of the commons and Podemos. "We do not share independence, but we are not part of the 'for them'. We bring proposals for negotiation, including reform of the Constitution and legal reform, to allow an exit at a time of blockade until telephone," said Rosell, in reference to the fact that Pedro Sánchez does not pick up the phone to Quim Torra. Asens has been responsible for explaining these proposals.

Iglesias is betting on a measured speech. But the hardness of the commons or of Podemos Catalonia, is forcing him to rectify his course. The leader of Podemos did not ask first, explicitly, the pardon for the convicted 1-O leaders, but hours later he had to climb the decibels dragged by the positions of his party.

The commons lead the harsh tone against the Government, since they have made the liberation of the imprisoned leaders from the outset. "[The sentence of the process] is an obstacle to get out of the situation of blockade in which we are," said Asens, who questions the president of the government in office to accept one of his two proposals: pardons or repeal of the crime of sedition . "Repeal it as in the rest of European countries or reform it in a democratic way to achieve the freedom of prisoners and not to be reapplied to other groups in the regressive sense of the sentence."

Hours before this act, Asens had criticized that the acting president of the Government visited Catalonia "without any concrete proposal, beyond the application of the Criminal Code ." "Neither federalism nor plurinationality nor dialogue nor pardons. Nothing at all," he had indicated before the day convened by the commons to address the situation after the judgment of the 1-O trial.
