Catalan elections: Pablo Iglesias believes that the third degree to the 'procés' prisoners is the "best news for democracy"
The second vice president of the
Government
,
Pablo Iglesias
, considers that the third degree granted today to the prisoners of the
procés
is the "best news for democracy."
In an interview on
baixa plant
of
TV3
, he said that working for the Government to grant them
pardons
, while insured is that it
will not participate in "any chorus" who wants to
"criminalize and insulting" leaders like
Oriol Junqueras or Carles Puigdemont
.
Iglesias is convinced that
En Comú Podem
, whose list is led by
Jéssica Albiach
, will enter the
Government
and that the level of left-wing politics depends on the strength that this party achieves in the Catalan elections.
In this sense, it opens avenues of understanding with the "monarchical" and "independentist" left (referring to
PSOE
and
ERC
), but has warned the socialist candidate and former minister
Salvador Illa
that being the leader with the most media support can be counterproductive.

Catalan elections: Citizens turn to the Electoral Board of Barcelona for the TV3 coverage plan for the 14-F campaign
Ciudadanos
has presented an appeal to the
Provincial Electoral Board of Barcelona
against the Plan of informative coverage proposed by the
Catalan Corporation of Audiovisual Media
(CCMA) for the
next 14-F
campaign
because "it does not respect proportionality".
In a statement, Cs has said that this plan breaks what is established in the electoral legislation and in the instruction 4/2011 of the
Central Electoral Board
, and recalls that the news coverage of the media "cannot result from arbitrariness, but must attend to the current representativeness of each formation in the
Parliament
, that is, the current number of seats ".
The coverage plan of
TV3 and Catalunya Ràdio
distinguishes between candidates with parliamentary representation and "significant political forces" that do not have it, such as
Junts per Catalunya or Vox
, which will also have space reserved for interviews and debates, among other formats.
