• Semi-freedom: 1-O prisoners are released from prison with the third degree and are already threatening to reoffend
  • Conviction: The Supreme Court sentences Junqueras to 13 years for sedition with embezzlement

Oriol Junqueras once again denies that the republican Esquerra plans include the reissue of a left-wing tripartite with the participation of the PSC.

In his first interview outside of prison since he entered in November 2017, the former Catalan vice president, with a more combative than usual language and even using some outbursts, has assured tonight on TV3 that his party intends to join forces "with the independentistas "and it has tried to dispel the suspicions of its bad relation with Carles Puigdemont and other leaders of Junts per Catalunya. Junqueras has assured that he talks "between one and three times a week" with the former president since he began to be released from prison earlier this year [through the permissions of article 100.2] and that there is "cordial and friendly treatment" with the rest of the independence prisoners in Lledoners, regardless of their political color.

The president of ERC, in his first weekend with the third degree - which he believes will be revoked by the Supreme Court - considers that "prison is part of the path to freedom, as in the United States, South Africa, India or Ireland " Reviewing the facts that led to his conviction, Junqueras considers that he did "what he should" and that at the time of declaring independence, state structures did exist: "If not, tell [Josep Maria] Jové or [ Lluís] Saved [the two Republican leaders currently being tried in the TSJC by the 1-O referendum]. We did all the work that could be done then. " Subsequently questioned by the director of regional television, Vicent Sanchis, about the role of the Mossos d'Esquadra in October 2017, he said: "I assume my responsibilities [Interior was then in the hands of the neo - convergent Joaquim Forn]".

Throughout the interview, the Republican leader has tried hard to deny any allusion to the rivalry between his party and JxCat and has described the work of the Govern during the coronavirus crisis as "extraordinary". However, when asked when he considers that the regional elections should be called, Junqueras has responded: "It is the responsibility of President Quim Torra and I think he knows that it is better for him than the Supreme Court [which will decide in September on his sentence of 18 months of disqualification for disobedience].
