“When you systematically ignore the people of Catalonia who defended the referendum and side with the king who ordered its repression… Don’t expect too much applause from the audience“. These are the words that Carles Puigdemont dedicated to the current president of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, after the latter was the victim of a loud whistle while attending the Contest of Castells de Tarragona.
The former president spoke in these terms on his profile on the social network that place in government “people who hate their own language” of the community and “insults the legitimate idea of independence” for which his fellow citizens voted “under extremely difficult conditions”.
In the same vein, he is disgraced for not “denying” his party colleagues when they claim that “the result of the efforts of Catalan workers” They belong to all Spaniards“.
Likewise, he criticized him for considering that the Cercle d’Economia and the “leaders of friendly unions” represent “the true economic and union pulse of the country” and for believing that the real Catalonia is what the relevant media tell you and those who attend elite meetings.
Who do you believe that the Cercle d’Economia and the leaders of friendly unions who are on the lists represent the real economic and union policy of the country…
When you think that the real Catalonia is only what the mitjan friends and the trobades’ assistants explain to you…

Puigdemont published this message after Illa led the opening of the Castells Competition this Sunday at the Tarraco Arena Plaça in the city of Tarragona, where he was received with a whistle and shouts of “Independence” by the participants. The event also took place in the presence of the President of Parliament, Josep Rull; the Mayor of Tarragona, Rubén Viñuales, and the Minister of Culture, Sònia Hernández.
