Citizens will not support a one-month extension of the alarm state. This has been decided by the Permanent Executive Committee of the Liberal Party meeting today. Cs spokesman in Congress, Edmundo Bal, has called on Pedro Sánchez to choose between Esquerra Republicana and his party. And he has also described as "a shame" linking the dialogue table with Catalonia to the state of alarm because "neither saves lives, nor saves jobs, which is what should now be a priority for everyone."

"If Sánchez elects the ERC and agrees to meet the table of shame and conditions it to the state of alarm, Ciudadanos will not be by his side in any way," said Bal at the telematic press conference held today after the meeting of the orange party leadership .

Only in the event that Sánchez proposes a 14-day extension, like the previous ones, will Cs sit down to negotiate it. Otherwise, Edmundo Bal has anticipated that they will vote no in Congress on the new extension request that Sánchez wants to make for "about a month."
