A few hours after his new outrage against the King, by refusing to attend tonight the inaugural dinner of the Conference of the Círculo de Economía, the President of the Generalitat,
Pere Aragonès
, has defended the "values of republican freedom" and has vindicated as a starting point for bilateral negotiations with the Government, the "Pedralbes declaration". The document signed by
Pedro Sánchez
and
Quim Torra
on December 20, 2018 and in which the pro-independence attack against the constitutional order is defined as a "political conflict".
The ERC leader has spoken these words at the opening of the economic forum and with the imminent pardons to the leaders of the 2017 coup in the background. Without making a direct reference to Sánchez, the president stressed the "need to overcome a stage of repression" in Catalonia and address the "political conflict". The Republican has vindicated the "validity" of the Pedralbes Declaration, which among other points indicates that the situation in Catalonia must be addressed "from a democratic response within the framework of legal security". That is, as Aragonès has highlighted, with a Scottish self-determination referendum.
In this sense and after defending that the independence movement has a sufficient majority in the Parliament to demand self-determination, it has celebrated the possible pardons, if they are confirmed in the coming days as pointed out from Moncloa, as a "sign that progress can be made in this direction "and manage in a different way" a conflict that has historical roots.
Nor has there been a lack of victimizing discourse in economic matters, when he has denounced the "fiscal deficit" of Catalonia with respect to the State and has denounced the "non-compliance of investments.
THE CIRCLE SUPPORTS PARDONS
Before Aragonès took the floor, the president of the Círculo de Ecomomía,
Javier Faus
, thanked the presence of the president of the Generalitat at the event, and that he finally stayed to "greet" the King and "above all" the president of South Korea. Afterwards, the business leader made a plea in defense of the pardons to the
procés
leaders
as a step towards "concord", after Catalonia has been "living in paralysis" for ten years. Thus, he congratulated the new Catalan president for "the first steps taken by the Government".
"The future demands of all back and forth gestures, we have an opportunity for harmony and the Circle will support any measure that is in the legal system, and pardons are," he said.
Faus has defended a "third way" to define a "new model of State", a Spain "less radial, more German than Italian," and that is a "sum of glances" in front of a Madrid that acts as "a vacuum cleaner" .
