• Catalonia.Quim Torra disavows ERC and claims that Pedro Sánchez allows "a clear vote on independence"

The pressure of Junts Per Catalunya on its Govern partners follows. The president of the Generalitat, Quim Torra, insisted on separating from the agreement reached between ERC and the PSOE to facilitate the investiture of Pedro Sánchez and downplayed the open door to agree a consultation to endorse the agreements of the negotiating table between governments. To do this, Torra recalled the first contact with the Sanchez Executive at the meeting at the Pedralbes Palace a year ago and the attempts at dialogue.

In an act at the Cybersecurity Agency of Catalonia, Torra said that the document signed by ERC and PSOE "does not bind governments" and added that guarantees are necessary. "In the negotiations following the Pedralbes document there was a figure of the rapporteur that now does not appear. The documents that we are working on and the one that now appears are similar but there are some differences," said the president who added that a year ago "the PSOE he raised because we wanted guarantees, and a guarantee was a rapporteur, something that does not appear in the pact between ERC and the PSOE. "

For this reason, he insisted that the Government will once again claim the Government "under what conditions and on what guarantees a negotiation table can be put forward that addresses the issues that citizens have charged us to address: the right to self-determination, amnesty and the end of repression. " "I will not be the president who leaves the right of self-determination for later. I need to know if the Government of Spain wants to treat him with the depth he deserves," Torra added.

"The conflict between Catalonia and Spain must be resolved between the governments of Catalonia and Spain," said the president to downplay the agreement between ERC and PSOE for the investiture of Pedro Sánchez and added that "parties can have interlocutions between them that they want, it is absolutely legitimate ", although the negotiation must be done between the executives.

On the meeting of the Central Electoral Board (JEC) to discuss his possible disqualification when convicted of disobedience, Torra said that "I always told both the TSJC and the JEC that the presidents of Catalonia are appointed and ceased by the Parliament of Catalonia . I stay in this position. " He said that it is "a matter of sovereignty of the Parliament" so that this institution must be the one that "in a plenary vote decides to withdraw trust or give it to the president."

Former President Carles Puigdemont also regretted criticizing the little "respect and loyalty" of ERC when closing his agreement with the PSOE without JxCat and has called to "reverse this error" accepting the creation of a table only between independence forces to negotiate negotiations with the State. "We are not less mature or less dialogue because we think that the agreements with our repressors must be able to be planned and worked together," said the former president.
