Salvador Illa decided to retain the sectarian touch of Catalan librarieswhich are populated by the great works of secessionism thanks to the management of successive governments processists of the Generalitat, and for this he chose the right person, given that it is someone who has shown his contempt for a quarter of a million Catalans, all those who voted for Vox. The new general director of Cultural Promotion and Libraries of the Generalitat is Xavier Fina character who – I have the feeling – worked hard for a long time to get a comfortable chair, and who finally got a good place to live.
Xavier Fina, who we remember as the new director of libraries of the Generalitat, has until now been a staunch defender of the application of a continued boycott to any proposal that Vox could make in any institution. Thus, the one who will decide the policy of the Catalan government in an area as important as libraries is someone who wants to leave the 250,000 Catalans who voted for Vox in the last regional elections without a voice in the institutions. And they also pay him his salary. We can already imagine the cultural policy that he will apply, taking into account his provisions.
In a democracy, there are majorities and minorities. Majorities rule and minorities must be respected. If the proposals of a minority go against the principles of the majority, there are votes to overturn them. But apply the calls sanitary cordons that Xavier Fina is so fond of, is to despise all citizens who choose to freely support parties subject to the veto. This recent signing from Salvador Illa boasts that “a public official must not block anyone on social networks”. We’ll see if he stops maintaining the “blockade” of 250,000 Catalans who voted for Vox.
I am not the type to give advice to Vox deputies, but given that the new head of Cultural Promotion and Libraries defends the exclusion from political life of proposals that represent 250,000 Catalans, I would be very attentive to the work carried out by this General. Management, to see how the public money you have budgeted is being spent. Especially to see what the new elected representative of Salvador Illa means by “cultural promotion”. I’m sure it will be interesting. Even if Fina has the possibility of performing a integrative and non-sectarian politicsto show us that we were wrong to judge him for his attitudes thus far and that his character changed when he was appointed to public office. But I admit that I don’t have much hope.
The truth is that Salvador Illa, in the few weeks he has been in power, has developed, unsurprisingly, a transfer policybetween opportunism and sectarianism. From Josep Lluis Traperoleader of the Mossos during the sedition of October 1, in Miquel SamperMinister of the Interior in the Government chaired by the very fanatic Quim Torra. Without forgetting Francesc Xavier VilaMinister of Language Policy Sonia HernandezMinister of Culture, the two senior officials of Father Aragonès during his term as president. EITHER Manuel Nadalwho went from attacking the PSC because it was not very sovereign to accepting, with enthusiasm, the position of Secretary of Mobility and Infrastructure of the Generalitat.
