Pedro Sanchez’s desperate move to get close to Junts again is Not enough for Carles Puigdemont’s men. Although the independents celebrate that he assumes the “lack of commitment” that they have been denouncing for months, and which the president himself denies. … If that happened, the rush that Sánchez has now entered to save the legislature would not involve in either Barcelona or Waterloo (Belgium). As the ABC put forward on Tuesday and the parliamentary spokesman confirmed yesterday, the new offer changes nothing within the framework of its relations with the Socialist Workers Party, at least for the time being. The ambition of the separatists, who see how they bleed at the ballot boxes, forces them to adopt a more difficult role than the one they have played until now.
In the successor party, Convergencia, they view the socialist leader’s latest “theatrics”, with two impromptu interviews in the Catalan media almost simultaneously, as an “example of desperation.” They confirm that “He spent several months minimizing his threatsThis upset them and precipitated the separation, and “until he was up to his neck in the water, he did not begin to comply.” “It’s not worth the hassle with us, we already told you and you didn’t listen to us, we are not the ERC, which swallows everything,” sources from the Junts management explained, justifying their decision to maintain the severed relations and dialogue with the Socialist Workers Party, which is “making efforts” to meet with them again.
Under the premise that “Sanchez showed that things cannot be done; “I didn’t want to stick to what was agreed upon.”In Gontz, they want to exploit his “desperation” and “weakness” to put more pressure on him, if possible, while delivering everything he promised, putting him against other groups and forces in the state and adding new fees that must be paid between now and the end of the legislature.
And the party leadership remembers that.”Missing to achieve what is important», namely the delegation of immigration powers to Catalonia and the approval of the anti-multiple recidivism law, the application of amnesty to all beneficiaries – including Puigdemont -, the official status of Catalans in the European Union, the publication of financial balances and the implementation of suspended investments in the four Catalan provinces. Four packages of measures, with the exception of economic matters, depend not only on the executive power, which Sánchez will face with the rest of the partners, with the courts, with other EU countries or with his moguls.
Moving toward achieving any of these issues is nuclear That Junts is thinking about amending their relationship With the current government, this seems unattainable today. Although when this happens, if it happens, taking into account the timeline for implementing everything, Spain will already be on the verge of campaigning before the general elections, either in 2027 as Sánchez promised or in advance throughout 2026, as Puigdemont believes.
With everything, in addition, comply with it The Socialist Workers’ Party will be forced to subjugate Podemos, Kompromes and ChuntaTo push the Constitutional Court to keep up with the times, convince other hesitant leaders and reopen financing wounds in the troubled PSOE and with Finance Minister María Jesús Monteiro, who has already had to balance concessions to her partners and her candidacy for the presidency of the Andalusian Junta.
More demands
In addition to the previously mentioned measures, which are fundamental to Carles Puigdemont’s measures to comply with the Brussels Agreement, signed by Jordi Turol and Santos Cerdán at the end of 2023, they stated at Waterloo that a scenario different from the current one of direct opposition in Congress will be evaluated. They need to pick up some more wins. They point directly to other issues that have long been demanded by those in the post-convergence phase, such as an anti-occupation law or the development of a land administration law, which has been paralyzed for a long time and has not fully reached those affected.
Regarding self-government, Junts also demands from the SWP what any change in position should entail Tasks in matters of international representation Of the general mandate, which is very important for Puigdemont, who during his presidency raised the flag of global recognition of the Catalan cause. The country’s granting of space to Catalonia in UNESCO and in the World Tourism Organization, two organizations of great importance and prestige, is part of the fee imposed on Sánchez to consider a new approach that, as they warned, “would force us to renegotiate once again the Brussels agreement, which is no longer useful.”
