The Parliament's Bureau has admitted for processing a Popular Legislative Initiative (ILP) that calls on the Catalan Chamber to unilaterally declare the independence of Catalonia. The processing of the legislative project, presented by the extra-parliamentary party Solidaritat Catalana per la Independència, has prospered thanks to the support of the CUP and Junts, with which the party led by
Carles Puigdemont
puts pressure on
Pedro Sánchez
with a high-voltage political initiative while negotiates the modification of the amnesty law to cover the alleged terrorist crimes committed by the fugitive.
The support of the
neo-convergent
party has been decisive, since ERC has decided to abstain, once again proving to be Sánchez's most docile ally, and the PSC has opposed the processing of the text. Ciudadanos and Vox, who do not have representatives in the governing body of the Chamber, have already warned that they will take the members of the table to court for allowing the Parliament to discuss an unconstitutional measure with a declared separatist vocation.
The bill defends that "the decision to declare independence corresponds to the people of Catalonia as holder of national sovereignty, and to the Parliament of Catalonia as their democratically elected representative" and establishes that, through the text, "the "Govern of the Generalitat to negotiate the international recognition of the declaration of independence."
Likewise, it specifies that "the declaration of independence will be effective when this law is approved, when the form and moment of the declaration of independence is negotiated with the international community and when an absolute majority of deputies is declared in a solemn session of the Parliament convened. for this purpose"
