Carles Puigdemont resists losing the initiative: he wants to continue marking the step of the Catalan separatist process since his escape from Brussels, regardless of what happens in the regional elections on February 14.

For that purpose, the former president of the Generalitat resuscitated the Consell per la República yesterday, that sort of parallel Government that he intends to use to complete the secession electronically and beyond the reach of the Spanish Justice.

The fugitive, who became president of the paragovernmental entity, returned to the scene yesterday to present a radical and ambitious roadmap.

A call for revolt against the state.

Puigdemont asked that the Catalan institutions "activate the declaration of independence" self-proclaimed in the Parliament on

October 27, 2017

;

that the Government, the municipalities and the Catalan Chamber "become provisional institutions of the republic" and that "society mobilizes to defend it for as long as it takes until the situation is unsustainable for the State."

No more no less.

The objective, defended the former president of the Generalitat, is to "make effective" the declaration of independence after the 1-O referendum and "defeat the powerful Spanish state by overflowing it."

The Government granted official character to the insurrectionary call of the fugitive by issuing it by videoconference at the Palau de la Generalitat, in an act without a single ERC representative, who decided to absent himself by not sharing Puigdemont's unilateral commitment and continues to bet on exploring an agreement with the Government to organize an agreed referendum with international recognition.

A carbon copy, from the ANC script

The revolt proposed by the fugitive requires a prior premise, that the independence movement exceed 50% of the votes in the elections.

Once that milestone is achieved, Puigdemont proposes that an "independence government be constituted whose objective is to make the proclaimed republic effective" and that the institutions and the independence masses choose the "opportune moment" to initiate "massive and sustained mobilizations over time" that oblige the State to kneel and assume the secession of Catalonia.

The script outlined by the fugitive is closely consistent with that of the Catalan National Assembly (ANC), which was the first to place the majority of pro-independence votes as the objective to be conquered by secessionism in the autonomous regions.

The ANC also proposes that, with this unprecedented electoral support, a Government willing to apply the unilateral declaration of independence proclaimed three years ago and to defend it, both institutionally and by encouraging street protests against the State, be created.

The ANC has already warned that it will promote the parties that most clearly bet on the achievement of independence, with which the Puigdemont roadmap favors that JxCat obtain the support of the main secessionist entity.
