Waterloo Carles Puigdemont creates a Catalan 'DNI'
Consell The Puigdemont bunker to reactivate the uprising
The
Consell per la República
(CxR) must pilot the new stage of the independence process in the face of the failure of the parties.
This is the roadmap announced today by
Carles Puigdemont
when he was officially elected president of the para-institutional body controlled by himself from Waterloo (Belgium).
"They have invested a Government, but they have been unable to create the conditions to carry out a strategy. We have to reduce dependency and take the initiative without waiting for consensus between the political formations," he proposed in his proclamation.
With no room for surprise, Puigdemont has been elected president of the CxR in the plenary session of the assembly of representatives held in Canet-en-Roussillon, in the south of
France
.
The former head of the Government has been imposed without discussion on the alternative candidate, the engineer
Joan Ramon Gomà
, by 102 votes to seven and with nine abstentions.
Despite his speech, Puigdemont will not leave the presidency of
Junts
, although he has warned that he will prioritize "Catalonia and the Consell" over the party.
Precisely, the assembly of representatives of this entity endorsed less than a month ago that the maximum president could be someone with a position in a political force.
In this way, the possibility that he would have to resign from the presidency of
JxCat disappeared
and the way was left open so that he could continue combining both positions.
The new governing body of the Consell per la República, still to be named, will have as one of its first missions the creation of a civil diplomatic network, under the umbrella of the so-called
Free Ministry of Foreign Affairs
, to defend the independence of Catalonia on an international scale.
The CxR, which among its leading figures includes the former councilors of the Generalitat
Toni Comín
and
Lluís Puig
, the president of the
ANC
,
Elisenda Paluzie
, or the singer-songwriter and former deputy
Lluís Llach
, has always aroused misgivings among the ranks of
Esquerra Republicana
and the
CUP
for its annihilating background of the political acronyms of sovereignty.
Conceived by Puigdemont in 2018 to establish himself as the plenipotentiary leader of the Catalan independence movement, his plan suffered a setback with the electoral victory of ERC in the last regional elections.
