• Journey Pedro Sánchez offers Argentina to make Spain its "gateway" to the European Union

  • 'Procés' Oriol Junqueras gives oxygen to Pedro Sánchez, supports pardons and questions the unilateral way

It has been in

Buenos Aires

where the process of granting pardons to the prisoners of October 1 has taken a new impulse with the first assessment of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, at the letter of the ERC leader, Oriol Junqueras, which validates this measure of grace as a possible way out of the Catalan crisis.

Sánchez has assured about this that in the opinion of the Executive "any step in favor of detente is welcome" and has also had words for the Spaniards and Catalans, who view with suspicion this political forgiveness of the Government to the pro-independence leaders.

"I understand that there may be citizens who have qualms about the decision that the government can take, due to the events that have occurred in

Catalonia,

" he said about the disconnection laws or the unilateral 1-0 referendum.

But I ask you, he added, "to have confidence because steps must be taken for reparation and this implies magnanimity"

He has insisted on this idea on several occasions.

For the Chief Executive for Catalan society to "find itself again" it is necessary "understanding and magnanimity" and that is what he asks of Catalan and Spanish society.

Sánchez did not want to rule out the presence of Junqueras at the dialogue table and although the official position is that a space for debate between governments has not wanted to compromise his word that he will not be there, arguing that it is not the time for this debate .

Sánchez has appeared this afternoon at the Casa Rosada together with the Argentine president, Alberto Fernández, on the occasion of his official trip to this country.

On Monday the public letter of Oriol Junqueras was known, in which he continued to defend the amnesty but admitted that "any gesture in the line of de-judicializing the conflict helps to be able to travel this path."

That same day the head of the Executive was in Barcelona, ​​an event organized by the Catalan employers' association

Foment del Treball

, in which he coincided with the new president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonés.

Right there Sánchez insisted on his idea that it is "the moment of reunion, of imaginative visions, of leaving revenge behind, and looking for solutions that leave the conflict behind."

But until today, he had not been asked directly about the letter from Junqueras or about possible changes in the government.

In recent days, the feeling has been installed among ministers themselves that there will be a reshuffle once pardons are granted to separatist leaders.

A pardon, about which there are already few doubts, despite the fact that no one in the Executive has confirmed it publicly yet.

All the signals, including those that Pedro Sánchez has been launching for weeks, point in that direction.

In fact, in the Executive they expected a gesture from the independence movement that would help, facilitate this step, and that they understand that it has occurred with the letter from the ERC leader.
