• Politics: JxCat nervousness grows in the face of an express removal from Quim Torra
  • Procés.Carles Puigdemont maneuver not to lose the Generalitat

The president of the Generalitat, Quim Torra, has been annoyed by the internal debate in JxCat and the PDeCat on its replacement in the event that it is disabled after the ruling of the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC), and has stated in a Signal group with the deputies of the parliamentary group.

As this newspaper publishes today, the party led by Carles Puigdemont publicly asked the Republicans on Saturday that the successor of Torra be a leader of JxCat and not the vice president of the Government and national coordinator of the Republicans, Pere Aragonès, who, for law, it would correspond to assume the presidency of the Generalitat in case of disqualification of the head of the Catalan Executive. This past Friday, it was already published how JxCat was maneuvering apart Pere Aragonès and not staying with the presidency, although Carles Puigdemont is aware, however, that his collection of the MEP was due to the ruling on Junqueras and also knows that ERC is the one that is pressing the government in Sanchez's functions because he has the key to the investiture.

Torra has criticized the acceptance of the conviction of the TSJC, instead of "standing up" to the disqualification, and has asked the deputies to refrain from commenting on this, according to La Vanguardia.

The Catalan president has described as pitiful that the sentence is accepted and its replacement is discussed, after the deputy of JxCat in the Congress Ferran Bel has affirmed, in an interview granted this Saturday to Europa Press, that "the reasonable thing is that in front of the country there is someone from JxCat " if they disable Torra.

Bel predicted that the Supreme Court will ratify before the summer a "completely unfair" disqualification sentence, and that this will lead Catalonia to new elections in September or October 2020, since it sees no arithmetic possibility in the Parliament to elect a new president of the Generalitat.

Once the TS disqualified Torra, he explained that Vice President Pere Aragonès, he would preside over the Generalitat "if no action or precaution is taken to correct this situation." "Even if it is for a short period of time, which can be four months and a peak, the reasonable thing is that there would be a person outside JxCat at the head of the country," said also the secretary of the PDeCat Organization, as he had already done Puigdemont part.
