Pere Aragonès takes for granted the defeat of Pedro Sánchez in the general elections on July 23 and calls for the meeting of the independence movement to "defend Catataluña" from an eventual Government of PP and Vox.
The president of the Generalitat has appeared in an extraordinary way this Tuesday to assess the political derivatives of the municipal elections last Sunday and has concluded the need to form a "common independence front" that safeguards the main axes of the nationalist project, this is "the Catalan institutions", "the right to decide the political future of Catalonia" and "the language".
Aragonès has inferred that, after losing more than 350,000 votes in the 28-M, the pro-independence voter asks his parties to "understand" and abandon the deep disagreements that now separate them.
However, the president of the Generalitat has avoided clarifying whether his party, ERC, would be willing to go to the polls with a single separatist list as proposed yesterday by the secretary general of Junts, Jordi Turull. "It is up to the parties to work on the formulas and the fit to make it possible," he limited himself to commenting.
For the moment, Aragonès calls for "a mobilization of the country" on July 23 and assumes that the bilateral negotiation with the Government that has led to the granting of pardons or the suppression of the crime of sedition "will be impossible" to maintain with a center-right government. So the pact of clarity to agree with the State a new independence referendum that the head of the Catalan Executive intended to promote will be parked sine die.
Aragonès has also called on the pro-independence parties to reach agreements to form the new municipal governments, which further cools the possibility that ERC collaborates with the PSC and Ada Colau to prevent Xavier Trias, the winner of the elections in Barcelona, from becoming the new mayor of the Catalan capital.
