• Secessionism: Quim Torra will give an ultimatum with a referendum to Pedro Sánchez to erode ERC
  • The meeting: Quim Torra and Pedro Sánchez will meet at the Palau de la Generalitat on the 6th at 12

Carles Puigdemont has returned to show this Tuesday of his will to perpetuate the independence challenge. The former president of the Generalitat has threatened the State to “not turn the page” until he asks for “forgiveness” for the application of 155 and for the “repression” that it entailed, that is, for the action of Justice that ended up condemning penalties of up to 13 years in prison to the separatist leaders who organized the illegal 1-O referendum.

«You can't turn the page innocently without taking responsibility. It was already done with error with the regime of 78. The same was requested: let's turn the page, we do not need to investigate the crimes of Franco, we do not need to restore the rights that were trodden of so many families, ”said the escape of the Spanish justice, comparing the application of 155 with the Franco dictatorship.

Puigdemont has made these statements during his appearance in the commission of the 155 that carries out the Parlament and in which he has intervened a week after they did Oriol Junqueras and the former jailed counselors.

The former president of the Generalitat has appeared by videoconference from the European Parliament to boast of his status as a parliamentarian while he was making new attacks on the State.

Puigdemont has argued that the Unilateral Declaration of Independence was "the only worthy option" that remained after not having obtained "guarantees" that the State would not apply 155 if it called early elections instead of maintaining the secessionist declaration. Then he warned that holding a referendum of self-determination agreed is his "preferred way, but not the only one possible", opening the door wide to reactivate the unilateral rupture if Pedro Sánchez does not accept the conditions that Quim Torra will raise this Thursday at the meeting they will hold at the Palau de la Generalitat: "referendum on self-determination and amnesty" for prisoners and escapees.

"If in the end the repression is the same and the Catalans are denied the right to exercise self-determination, the color of who governs will be the same because the conclusion will be the same, which is the impossibility of dialogue with the representatives of the State", has settled Puigdemont
