• Politics: Catalan independence movement defies the Constitutional again with a full censorship of the monarchy

As expected, the President of the Generalitat, Quim Torra, used the march of King Emeritus Juan Carlos I of Spain not to charge against the monarchy but to try to wear down the Pedro Sánchez government. In an appearance in the Parliament, in which Torra wanted to show that he can use the Catalan institutions for his interest, he urged members of the Government to "resign" if they do not call a "referendum on the monarchy". For the Catalan president, Spain has "two ways out" for a "rotten constitutional system" such as making this consultation or the abdication of Felipe VI.

Torra described the departure of the king emeritus as "a resounding and ridiculous scandal on an international scale" and accused the royal family of "betraying the confidence of the population" after "living with all the privileges we can imagine." For this reason, he considered it "very serious" that the government "protect, facilitate and cover up this flight without shame" and recalls that after four days, the whereabouts of Juan Carlos and whether public funds have been allocated for his departure are not known, forgetting the judicial investigations open against charges of the Generalitat for using public money for the protection of the former president of the Generalitat, Carles Puigdemont, who fled to Belgium.

For this reason, Torra urged all members of the current government "which is called progressive" to resign if they do not want to justify "the scandal" of the monarchy for its "night flight after the investigation of a huge corruption case." The president made ugly that the Spanish republicans did not appear to criticize the departure of Juan Carlos and recalled the "unfortunate relationship of the Bourbons and Catalonia" since he believes that there was "no transition towards a true democracy when impunity was made a privilege and there was tolerated corruption at the service of the head of state. "

The rest of his intervention Torra mixed the Franco period, the Catalan republican tradition, the "persecution" of the independence movement, the decisions to revoke the third degree of the imprisoned sovereign leaders, which he described as "repression", or the agreement of the municipal remnants with the Government to end up calling "now more than ever" for the independence of Catalonia. Torra believes that in the next elections to the Parliament, which he has not called, citizens should decide between "Catalan republic and independence or Spanish monarchy and dependency."
