• Junts independence movement uses the Diada against Esquerra and the dialogue table

  • 9/11 Catalan secessionism faces the most tense and divided Diada

In the heat of a Diada in which a part of the independence movement was hoarse pointing to

Esquerra Republicana

as a member of the enemy side,

Laura Borràs

has once again threatened with a rupture of the

Government

.

In an interview on the TVE program

Cafè d'idees

, the president of

Junts per Catalunya

has admitted that it is "perfectly possible" for her party to leave the coalition with ERC because "the commitments" of the legislature pact that supported to the presidency of the Generalitat to

Pere Aragonès

a little over a year ago.

It is not the first time that the JxCat leader has expressed herself in these terms in recent weeks.

After her suspension as a deputy and president of the

Parliament

at the end of last July, Borràs launched a barrage of reproaches at her partners, who voted together with the

PSC

and the

CUP

at the Table in favor of applying the article of the Chamber's regulations that suspended it after the opening of an oral trial for documentary falsehood and prevarication in his stage at the head of the Institution of Catalan Letters.

The post-convergence leader

blamed

the Republicans for the lack of unity in the independence movement: "I know who the adversary is and who has to be the ally, but others may not."

The possibility of immediately submitting the future of the government coalition to a consultation among the Junts militancy was cooled down at the congress that the party held in mid-June in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona).

However, the speeches at that conclave by both Borràs and the general secretary,

Jordi Turull

, abounded in the need to scrutinize the government's action as much as possible and set

October 1

as a "turning point" to resume the independence process by margin of the dialogue with the central Executive that Esquerra defends.

Turull himself has also referred this morning, in Rac1, to the rupture drums with ERC, although with a more pragmatic tone: "Before slamming the door, we must try to solve it, but after yesterday's demonstration it is imposed that this way We can not go on".

The former Minister of the Generalitat has called for an urgent meeting of the "strategic management space" of the independence movement, a coordination mechanism provided for in the legislature pact in which Junts, Esquerra, the CUP, the

Council for the Republic

of

Carles Puigdemont

would participate and sovereignist entities such as the

Catalan National Assembly

and

Òmnium Cultural

.

early elections

The ERC has wanted to avoid any debate on an electoral advance, as the president of the ANC,

Dolors Feliu

, requested yesterday .

"I don't know if it's an ultimatum or not, but what we must do is govern, help people on a day-to-day basis and also work to make independence possible," the deputy general secretary,

Marta Vilalta

, defended this morning .

The also Republican spokeswoman has demanded "political responsibility" from Junts after the new threats to step down from the Government: "The more we act in consensus and the more stability we can guarantee in the institutions, the more useful we can be. There is a coalition agreement with a lot of work to do ".

In the aftermath of a Diada in which the independence movement was divided into two halves, the ERC general secretary,

Marta Rovira

, for her part, made it ugly that her party became the target of verbal attacks: "In the demonstration there were many people from Esquerra who were devastated to see that the party was constantly criticized".

"We will not do independence without Esquerra. We will not do it with this wear and tear and with this degrading internal debate. We will do it by returning to the demonstrations of the million and a half people that led us to win," she added.

Precisely, the absence of Aragonès and the first ERC swordsmen in the ANC march was used last night by former

president

Puigdemont to send a message against the Republicans via Twitter: "They have stigmatized the demonstration, they have boycotted participation and they have wanted to exclude it from the political agenda. They have failed".
