• Investments.The Generalitat plants the King, Pedro Sánchez and the directors of Seat

  • Act: Catalan businessmen show unity to demand a turn of the helm to the Government

Only 24 after the absence of the representatives of the

Generalitat

in the act in which the Volkswagen Group announced its plans to produce

electric cars

at the Seat factory in

Martorell

(Barcelona), Oriol Junqueras has called on the business sector to join to the project with which Esquerra Republicana intends to lead the

Catalan Government

for the next four years.

In the

National Council

that the party held this morning, its president referred to the "very clear charge" that "the people who are suffering from the

pandemic

and the

crisis

" did in the elections of February 14: "

Self-determination

,

amnesty

and

economic and social

reconstruction

with a left-wing parliamentary majority. "

To do this, less than a week before the constitution of the new

Parliament

and 20 days before the term of the

investiture

expires

, Junqueras has appealed to the forces with which the Republicans have been negotiating for three weeks [Junts, the CUP and In Comú Podem]: "Esquerra has always been up to the task and guarantees that it will act with the maximum responsibility and generosity. But we need the parties to behave with the same determination, overcoming possible selfish temptations, to make a

strong and stable

Government

as soon as possible possible".

The request of the independence leader has gone beyond politics, since it has also been addressed to "the economic and social agents and the large social and cultural entities of

Catalonia

", who are "called to accompany the parties that have to assume this responsibility ", which passes through an Executive chaired by Pere Aragonès.

Also the candidate and current acting head of the Catalan Government has urged to reach "with speed" a solid, firm and

broad-based agreement

"to achieve" the freedom of the prisoners, the return of the exiles and move towards self-determination. " .

Aragonès has requested that "all issues be addressed without vetoes" because the current moment demands "a new republican Generalitat" and "prestige the country's institutions."

The candidate to remain in command of the Government has made it clear that ERC is in charge of leading this project and has asked that

negotiations

be intensified

to seal an investiture and legislature agreement with "left-wing policies that do not skimp on resources or investments or aid "and among whose challenges he has highlighted" the fight for equality, rights and freedoms, and the necessary defeat of the

extreme right

".

The broad front that Esquerra is seeking, which during the electoral campaign also included the PDeCAT [it did not obtain parliamentary representation on

14-F

], is still a toast to the sun.

Aragonès himself has referred today not to miss the opportunity to form "an independentista Government", which distances En Comú Podem from that project, which only contemplates a three-way pact with ERC and the PSC.

Salvador Illa reaffirms

The Catalan socialists held their National Council at precisely the same time, in which Salvador Illa reiterated his post-election message: "The change that took place on February 14 opens a new political time in Catalonia."

For the former minister, the results of the regional elections force him to appear for the investiture.

Despite being the most voted force, the PSC still does not have the necessary support to govern, but its candidate reaffirms that the party "is at the center of gravity" of Catalan politics and its participation "is essential" to achieve "respected and dignified institutions that leave degradation behind and respect the

rule of law

."

Illa has spoiled the Government sit-in to the top leaders of Volkswagen and Seat, which took place just one day after the act of business unity in

Barcelona

in which 300 organizations demanded that the Catalan Executive focus its policies on economic recovery.

"What happened yesterday is not boycotting the King or Pedro Sánchez, but playing with the progress of the Catalans," he reproached.

The socialist aspirant considers that citizens have "the right to stability and predictability" and, in the same vein as the business manifesto promoted by the employers' associations

Foment del Treball

and

Pimec

, has criticized the "weak" response of the Generalitat against the

vandalism

of recent weeks: "Conflicts are managed, but violence is eradicated."

"We want Catalonia to be associated with progress and leadership, not with instability and disorder," he concluded.
