In line with the official speech that Esquerra Republicana held at her congress last Saturday, party spokeswoman Marta Vilalta has acknowledged today that "informal contacts" with the PSOE are maintained, despite the suspension of negotiations that Republicans announced Thursday, waiting for the State Advocacy to move token in relation to Oriol Junqueras, once the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union on his immunity as a MEP is known.

After verifying how Carles Puigdemont and Toni Comín have obtained political and media revenue from the decision of the Luxembourg Court on the president of ERC, Vilalta believes that it would not be understood that Junqueras was the only one to whom the "doctrine" of the announced ruling does not apply last week.

"We await recognition of her immunity and that she has not received a fair trial," Vilalta said today, which translates to her as "the nullity of the trial and freedom" of the leader imprisoned in Lledoners prison.

Although ERC insists that the investiture of Pedro Sánchez is subject to a previous gesture by the Advocacy regarding Junqueras, his deputy in Congress Joan Josep Nuet has assured this morning, in an interview granted to Radio Euskadi, which they have reserved in their agendas the days between December 27 and January 4 in case an agreement, which could occur "in hours or days", facilitates the socialist leader becoming president of the Government in the next two weeks.
