Illa (PSC) understands the reluctance towards pardons but asks for "confidence in the decision"

The leader of the PSC in the Parliament,

Salvador Illa

, has assured this Saturday that he understands that the fact that the prisoners of 1-O receive the pardon generates reluctance but has asked "confidence in the decision."

In an interview in Rac1 collected by Europa Press, he defended that

the pardons "will help open a new stage and a process of dialogue in Catalonia"

, which he says has not advanced for a decade from the point of view of institutional reinforcement and social cohesion .

For him, the

rally called this Sunday

against pardons in Madrid is a serious political error because he does not believe that "the solution to the political problem in Catalonia passes through here."
