• The Government announces that the pardons for those sentenced by the 1-O will begin to be processed next week

In public, no pro-independence actor dares to celebrate the processing of pardons for the prisoners of 1-O.

Anyone who ventured to admit that the organization of the referendum constituted a crime would be automatically branded a traitor by the rest of the separatist forces and would start with a clear disadvantage in the Catalan regional elections, which are coming up in February.

Hence, JxCat, the CUP, ERC and even PDeCAT - despite their recent break with

Carles Puigdemont

- defend that they will not be satisfied until the independence prisoners are amnestied.

"Self-determination and amnesty"

, each and every one of the Catalan secessionist parties repeated like a mantra after learning of the Government's intention to activate the mechanism to pardon Forcadell and Bassa, both registered in the ranks of ERC.

However, inside, satisfaction spreads in the formation of

Oriol Junqueras

to see how the Executive led by Pedro Sánchez activates the mechanisms to deactivate the penalties of the promoters of 1-O, and not only because of the processing of pardons, but for the intention of reforming the Penal Code to lower the penalties for the crimes of sedition and rebellion.

"Not even Puigdemont can ignore it"

"Publicly no one is going to accept the pardon as good, but not even Puigdemont can ignore that the Government is giving in," ERC sources tell this newspaper.

«We are back in tune.

This makes it easier for us to support the Budgets and reinforces our commitment to negotiating with the adversary.

It is already bearing fruit ”, the same voices complete, before highlighting how this movement of the Executive revitalizes the dialogue table, ERC's main electoral asset.

"There we will continue to defend amnesty and self-determination," admit the Republican sources.

Setting a less ambitious agenda would automatically cause JxCat to leave the forum.

And it is precisely this maximalist agenda imposed by

Quim Torra

that prevents the second meeting of the table from being held, before the president of the Generalitat is disqualified.

A "patch", pending amnesty

What was celebrated in the ERC engine room constitutes only a "patch" when Oriol Junqueras' formation goes to his parish.

This is how the Republican leader and Minister of Justice,

Ester Capella

, called it, who urged the Government to reach a "political agreement" to achieve amnesty.

A message traced to the one issued by the JxCat deputy,

Laura Borràs

, who called on the Executive to "reach a political solution at the end of a negotiation process."

That is to say, to the complete surrender to the promoters of 1-O, which not only allows the prisoners to get out of jail, but also Puigdemont to return to Spain to reactivate her ordeal.

Those of Junqueras cannot afford a single false step in the coming months, aware that Puigdemont remains attentive to any resignation to point out his contradictions to the electorate.

The attrition maneuver will start when Torra is disqualified and

Roger Torrent

activates the countdown to call elections as president of the Parliament.

Republicans will acquire the status of accomplices of the "oppressive state" and that facet will be underlined with more emphasis when they negotiate the Budgets, much as JxCat has also opened the door to do so.

Hence, when it comes to prisoners, ERC cannot afford its own speech.

Hence, he shelters Torra before the Supreme Court despite blaspheming to himself against his will to lock himself up and plunge Catalonia into paralysis.

Hence, now he can only celebrate the arrival of the pardons in private.
