• Catalonia Pedro Sánchez asks ERC to resist pressure and maintain dialogue although Junqueras admits that he is "in danger"

  • Italy The Sardinian court releases Puigdemont and summons him for October 4

Carles Puigdemont's arrest on Thursday night startled the

government

. Not for the fact itself, but for the moment, unexpected, in full operation dialogue with the Generalitat and in the prelude to the negotiation of the Budgets. In the last hours, the "fluid and sincere" communication between

La Moncloa

and the

Generalitat

has been active, open today. The phone rings, they point out. There were contacts between both parties in an attempt to coordinate a strategy to shield the dialogue table that was restarted last week. A joint effort that is evident in the messages they transmit: Government and ERC defend dialogue as the only possible way to solve the «Catalan conflict».

“Dialogue is, if possible, more necessary today; and it will be in the future. The message is one of commitment and vindication of dialogue between different administrations, "said Pedro Sánchez from

La Palma

. "We maintain our commitment to the will to negotiate, but we are obliged to denounce that these are not the appropriate circumstances to transmit an effective negotiation," said Oriol Junqueras, ERC leader in La Sexta. "We can always find obstacles but we have to conspire to overcome them," said Catalan President Pere Aragonès from the

Palau de la Generalitat

.

The preparation of the dialogue table has consolidated the relationship and dialogue between the Government and the Generalitat. Between PSOE and ERC. La Moncloa already had a good dialogue with Aragonès, but in recent weeks it has established itself. The teams of Pedro Sánchez and the president of Catalonia have a permanent channel that was activated after learning of Puigdemont's arrest, with contacts during the last hours.

The objective is to try to isolate the dialogue table and the negotiation of the Public Accounts - the Executive needs the nationalists to approve them - from the irruption of Puigdemont.

Just as ERC disassociated the dialogue table from the Budgets, they ask that it now do the same with the fugitive former Catalan president.

Hence, from the first moment in the Government they describe what happened with Puigdemont as a "personal situation" and that acting on a particular case would not be understood by the rest of the citizens.

Rejection of the independence movement

In the Government there is the conviction that ERC is determined to keep the dialogue alive, that Aragonès is doing everything possible. But the problem is Junts. And the CUP. And the ANC. That is, the independence movement contrary to dialogue. Find out if ERC can handle the pressure. Resist as requested by the Executive. In La Moncloa they value the blow to the table that the Catalan president gave by excluding Junts from the negotiating table. But they know that now they await days of secessionist exaltation - beginning this Saturday in

Sardinia

, where the Government has traveled to accompany Puigdemont-. Messages, gestures, demonstrations ... His wish is for everything to stay there, but it remains to be seen whether ERC remains firm or the pressure overflows its position.

It does seem possible that now, even more so, the Government can make some concession to ERC's demands in the budget negotiation so that it exhibits it as a political achievement before the rest of the independentistas, trying to ease the pressure. At the fore, among other issues, the Government's requirement that the new Audiovisual Law set a minimum production quota in co-official languages ​​for platforms such as

Netflix, HBO

or

Amazon

. Until now, the Executive did not foresee it.

The coordinated work in the last hours has also concerned the heart of the coalition.

United We Can, which has always maintained a more belligerent position regarding legal action against pro-independence leaders, exhibits a moderate message, following the lead of La Moncloa.

“We are going to respect the judicial decisions that are adopted at all times.

The Government of Spain is focused on abandoning the path of judicialization, on betting on the path of dialogue, "said Minister Ione Belarra.
