All high state institutions and the Spanish political class still stupefied before the confession expresident of Catalonia, Jordi Pujol . The reactions range from surprise and disappointment to outrage. And the parties, after the recognition of the personal guilt of former leader of CiU , now demanding explanations about the origin of the fortune hidden in tax havens and to identify responsibilities, not only political but also legal.
The analysis and expressed fear, at least in private, leaders of the PP and the PSOE is not only that the case can weaken Pujol CiU and specifically Artur Mas, who just today meets with Mariano Rajoy at the Moncloa after months of virtual absence of dialogue, but the scandal, especially to further strengthen ERC just before the warm fall provided in Catalunya, which begins with the September 11 National Day and will end on 9 November, the date for the celebration of the “illegal referendum on self-determination” as to call it insisted the Prime Minister on Monday and endorsed the new leader of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez.
Rajoy and Mas Today again see the faces in the Moncloa, at least willing to resume dialogue. The President of the Generalitat, which subsequently appear before the press at the headquarters of the Catalan government in Madrid, as usual-known that Rajoy will not open the door to the query. “There’s nothing to do,” and warned Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría. And there is no presumption that the interview may have much chance of success, because it is impossible to Rajoy, Mas is waived. From there, it seems that everyone expects to see what other offers, which portends not much understanding. “I know there is a problem and I know I have to face the problem, warned Rajoy, but things think carefully before getting because then this happens.” In any case, the Prime Minister promised, “talk.” His idea, therefore, is that Mas has gotten himself into a dead end, and he will just have to ask what to do. But for the president of the Generalitat, however, is who should move Rajoy tab. “We want to listen, we will hear,” warned the Catalan government spokesman Francesc Homs. And between them, the proposed federal constitutional amendment proposing only alternative Pedro Sanchez and PSC leader Iceta Miquel, who do not see as a solution or Rajoy and More.
The Pujol case obviously fly over the appointment at the Moncloa. But at the end of Homs reiterated the Government Executiu consell in no way affect or conditional on the meeting between Mas and Rajoy. The President of the Generalitat, he insisted, will go to the Moncloa as “carrying the will of the people of Catalonia”. And not be in his opinion “play some errors have occurred” in wanting to confuse the figure of Jordi Pujol in Catalonia. The leader of the PP in Madrid, Esperanza Aguirre, nevertheless helped to heat the atmosphere to ensure that the money from the Pujol family abroad is only the “tip of the iceberg in Catalunya that he had become a regime.” And, in his view, that money did not come from an inheritance, but the “three percent which was collected from all public works and services in Catalonia.” “The tip of the iceberg” was an expression also used the new number two PSOE, Luena Caesar: “It is a scandal that gives even shame, it requires not only political responsibilities, also judicial”.
