Esquerra Republicana stays true to Pedro Sánchez's plan. The skin is doing on it. That his alliance with the Socialists will prosper, after getting Sánchez to lower the cervix and accept the holding of a consultation in which only the Catalans exercise the "right to decide," it is up to the Republicans to gain the presidency of the Generalitat with the PSC support and Podemos. That need has reinforced the defense of ERC in the Congress of his pact with Sánchez against the pressures of the toughest independence movement and the Quim Torra maneuvers. Although he has threatened with turbulence the leader of the PSOE by Gabriel Rufián: "today there is a bilateral table or there is no legislature."
The ERC spokesman has climbed into the lectern of the deputies with the support of the party executive, gathered hours before to endorse his abstention to the investiture of Sanchez. "This political problem is not resolved after courts and togas, we are obliged to do politics," said Rufián, who recalled, however, that Sanchez has changed at different times his position regarding the Catalan crisis until assuming the independence coordinates and Accept a query.
Rufián has revived the two victories followed by ERC in the general elections in Catalonia. With the conviction that he has Sanchez in his hand for the investiture agreement, he has been charged old bills, such as having supported the application of 155 after the coup d'etat of 2017 or his dialectical virulence with separatism. But also to publicly threaten him to bring down his future government if he does not comply with the agreement.
«How do we make the PSOE comply? Well, if there is no table, there is no legislature, ”the Republican has snapped. And the first and decisive proof of the viability of that agreement is the elaboration and approval of the general state budgets.
In his reply, a mellow Sánchez who has begun to thank ERC for his support for the investiture, has reassured the deputy with a clear but very clear phrase: "Don't worry, the commission will be created." The bilateral negotiating table will therefore be a reality in the coming weeks.
With his Twitter dialectic, intertwining short and forceful phrases, the ERC leader has spoken for the first time in parliamentary headquarters that will lead to that negotiation forum of the amnesty of those convicted of sedition, also holding a referendum of independence, to a bilateral table where they want President Quim Torra to be present.
Other conditions he has listed were "recognition and institutional respect", activate the "political path without vetoes", that "talk about everyone and everyone", the "amnesty of prisoners" and a calendar "clear meetings ".
Rufián's words have also highlighted the republican will to replace JxCat as a central party of nationalism and has presented it as a serious, reliable and remote option of any messianic vision. «ERC is a party at the service of a country, and not a country at the service of a party, that is why we want to manage day to day," he concluded.
