- Politics.ERC is committed to an "intelligent" dialogue in the face of the JxCat confrontation
The Government cracks. After months managing the coronavirus pandemic and facing the impossibility of controlling the outbreaks, the independence forces face the end of the summer and the return to activity with the feeling of an exhausted legislature and wielding patriotism with the clear objective of obtaining more support from the sovereignist electorate in the regional elections to be held in the coming months. The last to join in the reproaches of his colleagues in the Generalitat was President Quim Torra who this Sunday urged "to risk" on the path of confrontation to achieve independence.
Although he did not specify what that risk consists of, Torra added that they must "disobey unjust laws", although without specifying what it is, to reach the Catalan republic and assured that "if we believe that the defense of freedom of expression it reaches the last consequences, we believe it. If we believe that the flight of the King Emeritus is an absolutely inconceivable act and that it must have political consequences for the Spanish parties, we believe it. "
Torra also believes that independence is "more necessary and more urgent than ever", although "if we do not confront we will not advance", "We cannot, in any way, relegate this idea of the fight for the sovereignty of the Catalans. That is why we must take the initiative again, "he said after lamenting the" risk "that the fight against the pandemic relegates the sovereign project. "We need to risk to win. If we do nothing we will not advance. If we do not confront we will not advance. And they want the opposite, they want us to censor ourselves, they want us to cower, they want us to fear, they want us to avoid repression, they want fear ends up really being what motivates political decisions. I will never do it, because for me it would be the same as letting it be, "he said.
In his speech at the Catalan Summer University (UCE) Torra also appealed to "shared leadership" to continue with the secessionist process despite the fact that his ERC colleagues in the Government were disfigured by their position in the Parliament since "it is the headquarters of national sovereignty or it is not, but we cannot stay in the middle ". "They want us divided, that's why they want us discussed and that's why they want us headless with the leaderships, and I vindicate them," said the president, who lamented that this independence division exists while there are "jails and exile."
For this reason, he assured that "it has been difficult for me to understand some reactions of the political parties because you think, well if we have come this far, we have done 1-O, we find ourselves in prison, exile and repression, this is so serious that everything the rest are not reasons that try to hinder us in this joint progress. Sometimes we have become hindered and we have gotten stuck on absolutely minor issues. " Faced with this situation, he claimed to "obey" Catalan sovereignty as the "guiding principle of change" and remarked that "independence will be achieved by exercising it."
Precisely, a few hours before the vice president of the Generalitat and national coordinator of ERC, Pere Aragonès, assured that the sovereignist parties must address the population without disputes since "when the independence movement discusses with each other, it stays where it is, it stops."
However, Aragonès once again separated himself from his partners in the Government when he recalled that ERC's strategy involves "forcing negotiation with the State with the strength of the mobilizations and Catalan institutions" and added that "shared objectives" are necessary for achieve these goals.
