Aznar said it more than ten years ago. “The sooner it breaks the unity of Catalonia and that of Spain” It was November 26, 2012. The process had only just begun.
Then, on July 5, 2017, with the referendum at the gates, he still remembered it. “The policy of the Catalan nationalists on the basis of trying to liquidate democracy and the freedom that existed in Catalonia will also end up destroying Catalonia. “Them, themselves,” he insisted.
Ayuso, who is a notable student of the former president, also adopted this expression in the debate on the state of the region. “The sooner the independence of Catalonia breaks out, which The left breaks Spain and Madrid” he said in his speech.
The truth is that the latest Diada confirms the theory of José María Aznar. The first, moreover, without an independentist president in the Generalitat for almost fifteen years.
In fact, we must return to the 2010. with the socialist Jose Montilla more of president. Although they have already painted enough. At the head of the second tripartite, he called the elections for November 28. He lost nine seats at once. He had to go home.
The independence movement has certainly become more divided than ever between the two parties.September 15. a little more 70,000 protesters. Distributed in five cities. So we could not speak of a fiasco of assistance.
Far from the 1.8 million, theoretically, from 2014. Or the million in 2017. On the midday TV news this Thursday, TV3 I blamed Covid. And at parties. As if they had nothing to do with people’s fatigue.
To the usual taunts between Junts and ERC We must also add the internal tensions in Squeeze. In the midst of the debate in Congress, there are up to four candidates to lead the party. It is noted that They lost power.
It reminds me of the 2008 congress, when Puigcercós and Carod were fighting for control of the party. On that occasion, there were also four lists: Puigcercós’, former councillor Carretero’s, Carod’s and Pro-independence left, a critical sector.
Carod did not show up, but pushed Benach to do it. With such bad luck that he came third. Even his people didn’t want him. And he was the Speaker of Parliament.
Today, history repeats itself. Junqueras is with Militancy Decided. The former ERC president did like Sánchez. He began to mark time after the barons forced him to resign.
Marta Rovira has already said she will not run –lives very well in Switzerlandthe sign is that he is not coming back – although he has blessed another list: New National Esquerra. On the day of the presentation, he did not attend the event – not even the Diada – and things remained a little dull.
As familiar faces, so far party spokespersons, Raquel Sans; the representative in Congress Teresa Jordà; and the mayor of Manresa, Marc Aloy. It’s not something extraordinary either. Junqueras takes over again.
In third place, Alfred Bosch with Let’s go. The name is revealing because, in Spanish, it would be something like a blank page. Bosch was once a star signing for Esquerra.
A writer by profession, he has several nationalist novels, he was successively a deputy in Madrid (2011-2015), mayor of Barcelona (2015-2018) and Minister of Foreign Affairs under Quim Torra (2018-2020).
He had to resign, accused of turning a blind eye to a case of sexual harassment of his chief of staff. I don’t know if he’s coming back now to settle his scores.
Finally there is the Collection October 1stalso in honor of this one referendum. They would be the purest. Even opposed to the investiture of Salvador Illa.
Then there are Junts. The crisis goes inside. They never recovered. having left the government. They did a consultation and the bases, which did not have public positions, They voted to leave. Consultations, as you know, are carried by the devil.
They also brought forward the congress to October after losing the presidency of the Generalitat. It remains to be seen what role Puigdemont plays, who never shows himself but always pulls the strings behind the scenes.
In addition to the clandestine confrontation between Borràs and Turull. Borràs, found guilty of corruption, is in a bad position. From party president to president of the national council, a rather honorary position.
But it doesn’t stop there. They almost come to blows Pit of the Moreres on the eve of the Diada. The youth of Arran, the youth of the CUP, demonstrated against the Aliança Catalana, which they accuse of being fascist. You see, left-wing independentists against right-wing independentists.
In the photos of X, they boasted of having stopped fascism. Although, in reality, there were more members of the party of the mayor of Ripoll than anti-fascists. It is not for nothing that they only won two deputies in the legislative elections – it is already a success because they did not have any and the appeal surprised them – but they almost 120,000 votes and 4%. They were on track to win between four and six seats.
Finally, the ANC and Òmnium buried their differences this year. However, the president of the first entity, singer-songwriter Lluís Llach, has had problems.
In an interview with Course1 It occurred to him to say that he did not like those of the Catalan Alliance, but that they were welcome. Accustomed to sanitary cordons, this had the effect of a kick in the face for the left-wing parties. From Esquerra to the CUP. The entity itself had to make a statement to say that the president of the entity had not said what he had said.
Anyway, if you want to see definitive proof that the process is downJust look at the T-shirts. This year’s generic motto was the medieval phrase “Via the forums. Something like everyone else on the street.
However, on the banner that preceded each demonstration, there was a different slogan. In Barcelona, for example, it was “for decent housing”. And, in Tortosa, “for territorial balance”. One thing and another are in no way independence, the DUI or the Catalan Republic. The soufflé goes down. By leaps and bounds.
