• Catalonia Alejandro Fernández: "the pending issue is not the dialogue with the separatists, but between Catalans"

  • Politics Related to Alejandro Fernández see in the harsh internal criticism a maneuver of the national PP

The president of the PPC,

Alejandro Fernández

, and other party leaders have been received this Saturday in the center of Vic (Barcelona) with

insults, jeers and shouts

of "fascists" by a group of protesters, in a tense protest that has forced the Mossos to make way for the politicians.

The popular leaders had convened this noon a press conference in the Plaza Mayor de Vic, where the party requested permission to set up an information tent that the town council has denied them.

When the group of politicians walked through the center of Vic, dozens of people gathered to

prevent them from passing

, while shouting "fascists" or "out, out" and shouting insults at them.

In the protest there have been moments of tension, with pushing and some shaking, when some protesters have faced the Mossos d'Esquadra who tried to prevent them from approaching the popular leaders.

This has forced a group of Catalan police officers - including public order units - to intervene to

guarantee the passage of the popular delegation

and that they could hold the press conference.

In a message through his Twitter account, Fernández ironically commented on the "peaceful reception" that the party's leaders received today in Vic. "Not everyone, of course: we have also been able to chat with many lovely neighbors", has added.

In his message, the popular leader thanked the Mossos d'Esquadra "for their work" and also valued the "courage" of his fellow party members.

The PPC announced yesterday that it will

file a complaint

with the Public Prosecutor's Office against the Vic City Council (Barcelona) for administrative prevarication after the council's decision to deny the installation of a popular tent in the town's Plaza Mayor.

According to the PP, last Monday the Vic City Council notified the popular of the

refusal to install a tent

under municipal regulations that prevent the development of "activities contrary to morality, good citizen customs, or public order " on public roads.

Leaders of the PP from all over Spain have rejected these events on their respective Twitter accounts and, thus, the general secretary of the Popular Party, Teodoro García Egea, has pointed out that the PP "is in all corners of Spain defending freedom" and that the "independentistas will have to get used to it" because the street belongs to "everyone".

The mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez Almeida, has shown his support for his colleagues from the Catalan PP "for your defense of freedom" and has asked himself if "the problem in Catalonia is really Madrid's taxes? Really? ?".

The spokeswoman for the PP in the European Parliament and former minister

Dolors Montserrat

has pointed out that her party will always defend freedom, "in Vic and in all corners of Catalonia", and has assured that "the radicals will never get away with it. Catalonia we are everybody".

The condemnation for this act has been joined, among others, by the president of the PP of the Basque Country, Carlos Iturgaiz, who has shown his support for the PPC "because of the threats and insults received by the nationalist and separatist vermin in Vic", and the president of the PP of Navarra, Ana Beltrán, who has written: "Fascism in its purest form in Vic" and "my repulsion for the radicals and for those who from Moncloa will remain silent today as cowards".
