After a new night of separtist riots and just two years after the unilateral declaration of independence approved in the Parliament, the constitutionalism has returned to the center of Barcelona to reject without violence the "violence" and the "breaking of coexistence", applaud the action of the Mossos, the Civil Guard and the National Police and demand the end of the independence process, the resignation of Quim Torra as president of the Generalitat and the immediate call for early elections in Catalonia.

Despite the highway and railroad cuts starring the CDRs to "prevent" the arrival in Barcelona of protesters from other parts of Catalonia and the call for a boycott against "foreigners" by Tsunami Democràtic, 80,000 people - according the Urban Guard - and 400,000 - according to the convening Catalan Civil Society - have congregated on the Paseo de Gracia to vindicate the Constitution as a "guarantor of freedom" and warn nationalism that "you will soon learn that constitutionalist Catalonia will never be silenced again nor despised. " "Barcelona doesn't burn," the crowd exclaimed.

Under the slogan 'For concord, for Catalonia: Enough!', The demonstration wanted to recover the spirit of the great constitutionalist march that on October 8, 2017 - a week after the illegal 1-O referendum - concentrated in Barcelona to one million people to defend the state unit of the secessionist project that Carles Puigdemont intended to complete, today escaped from Spanish Justice and targeted by the proclamations of the protesters, who have insistently claimed their imprisonment.

PSC back in the background

Since then, the unity of Catalan constitutionalism has been seriously damaged by the socialist refusal to continue shaking hands with the PP and Citizens to fight against independence. Pressured by the serious episodes of secessionist violence - that yesterday left 25 injured mossos, one of serious gravity - and the electoral erosion that can lead to Pedro Sánchez managing the Catalan crisis less than a week before the start of the campaign of the generals , the PSC has decided to return today, promptly, to the common constitutional front.

Although sheltered in the background and away from the leaders of the PP and Citizens, the senior staff of the Catalan socialists, led by Miquel Iceta and the president of Congress Meritxell Batet , has attended the demonstration. He has done so in the company of the president of the Senate, Manuel Cruz and the Ministers of Development, José Luis Ábalos , and Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell ; great protagonist of the constitutionalist march held two years ago, in which he took the floor stage to demand that Puigdemont stop "pushing Catalonia towards the precipice".

Although Catalan Civil Society has avoided the presence of political leaders at the head to favor constitutional reconciliation in the pre-election period, the dome of the PP and Citizens has moved to Barcelona with Pablo Casado and Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo by the popular and Albert Rivera and Inés Arrimadas leading the large representation of the orange formation. The former French prime minister and councilor in Barcelona, Manuel Valls , has also made a break in the design of the constitutionalist brand with which he wants to opt for the Presidency of the Generalitat to be on the march.

"Civil Society is once again the common house of constitutionalism", has celebrated the new president of the entity, Fernando Sánchez Costa , who, to guarantee the presence of the PSC, avoided inviting Vox claiming not to have interlocution with the party that presides over Santiago Abascal .

The response of the training was to send to Barcelona his deputy in Congress, the Catalan Ignacio Garriga , to demonstrate with the representatives of the extreme right who have called an alternative march to Civil Society to end up leading to it. "We are not going to be in the head or in the speeches or next to those who have betrayed the country. With those who have abandoned us and are enemies of the nation. We tell the PSOE that either they are on the side of the terrorists or with Spain alive. The two things cannot be done. We get rid of the demonstration, "the Vox leader justified.

Casado and Rivera ask Sánchez to break with independence

Sharing the streets of Barcelona with the Socialists has not prevented Casado and Rivera from charging against the permanent game of balances of Sánchez and Iceta. The head of ranks of the PP has demanded that the president of the Government in office and candidate of the PSOE clarify before 10-N if he is willing to agree with Torra. "It is a good time for the Socialists to immediately break any negotiation with the independentists who have already been convicted of sedition by the Supreme Court," suggested the leader of the popular.

Similarly, Rivera has demanded that the "constitutionalist unit" today staged in Barcelona imply "not to govern with those who want to break the country." "You can not govern with Torra and Otegi, it is necessary to seek solutions from the union of the constitutionalists," the leader of Citizens has abounded, who at the beginning of the month lifted his veto to the PSOE and proposed "a great national agreement" so that Spain out of the blockade.

The call to the permanent reunification of constitutionalism has been subscribed by Catalan Civil Society, which has asked for "sense of state" to the leaders of PP, Citizens and PSOE and called to non-independence Catalonia to «continue claiming without decay because it no longer exists an invisible Catalonia, because we have decided that any future for this earth will also depend on us ».
