Esquerra Republicana continues to show her good harmony with Pedro Sánchez. The Republican spokesman in Congress, Gabriel Rufián, has positively valued the speech of the leader of the PSOE at the beginning of the investiture debate, although he has left in the air the position of his party's vote waiting for the ERC executive meet this morning and debate this afternoon in the Parliament.

Rufián, in this sense, has indicated that the decision of the Central Electoral Board is "very bad news, first of coup", and has veiledly accused the PP of being behind the position of the organ. Despite this Republican malaise, the party seems to maintain its position. Yesterday Oriol Junqueras himself, after learning about the disqualification, calmed down the spirits of his own and strangers with a message on Twitter in which he assured that "democracy must prevail."

"The music that comes from the PSOE has long sounded good," said the Republican spokesman in his appearance before the media. Rufián has shown that affinity applauding in the hemicycle when Sanchez has raised the constitution of a bilateral negotiating table between governments. Rufián has highlighted the social program exposed by Sánchez, which has seemed "written by Podemos," which has stood out as a positive value.

The other position of Catalan independence has been staged by Laura Borràs, spokesman for Junts per Catalunya, who has insisted that they will vote against the investiture of Pedro Sánchez, thus unmarking their partners in the Government of the Generalitat.

The separatist spokeswoman has considered "surprising" that Sanchez has not mentioned the "legal aberration perpetrated by the Central Electoral Board" and has accused the socialist candidate of not proposing a real proposal for Catalonia.

In the words of Borràs there were messages to Sánchez but also to ERC. "Sanchez has said that we are uncompromising nationalists, but the reality is that we are independentists, we are not compromising because we cannot commune with mill wheels."
