Artur Mas prepares the crucial countdown to the 9-N – La Vanguardia

Artur Mas prepares the crucial countdown to the 9-N – La Vanguardia

Time’s up in the waiting room on the way to the query. It is felt in the Palau de la Generalitat and the domes of the Catalan parties, they start oiling their machinery from tomorrow. The Govern takes for the summer buried speculations and now prepares to face a frantic countdown to the November 9 . The only message that preserves the Executive on the table is made explicit by the president Artur Mas from the castle of Talamanca August 13: There is only one plan and vote. Now the Govern preparations hurry to complete the “journey of the facts” to the 9-N . Next week will serve as a warm lap and from September 1, ten weeks of vertigo.

The calendar does not allow distractions. The Consell Executiu will meet Tuesday for the first time after the holiday parentheses and Wednesday will address the new collegiate Convergència once appointed their new positions and erased the presence of the founder, Jordi Pujol. Saturday will be the turn of CiU, which bring together all national council of the Federation to ratify the appointment of Ramon Espadaler as general secretary to replace Josep Antoni Duran Lleida and Lluís Corominas as deputy secretary general. That same day, Mariano Rajoy open the political course for the PP in Soutomaior Castle, where he is expected to recover Catalan opposition process in his speech. The forecast is that next weekend are the cards back and center of the Government Executive on the table to start with the final institutional liturgy.

As last year, the president has said Mas 1 September to councilors and senior officials of the Government to a private meeting which will schedule more difficult route and transcendent political course of his career. But the Catalan administration wants to maintain its course and that is not disturbed by the sovereigntist process. Therefore, it will launch a message of reassurance to senior management and asked to be prepared to make the road by walking. It will do just the day before the Parliament of the green light to appear Jordi Pujol in which all parties hope to clarify the existence of hidden accounts of his family in Andorra for over three decades. Following the resignation of expresident all prerogatives of office, from the Ministry of Presidency have given the necessary orders to terminate the lease of the office occupied Pujol on Passeig de Gràcia and to redeploy staff in other management areas.

The confession of expresident has disturbed the converging world and given ammunition to parties that oppose the sovereignty process. However, in the ranks of CDC has established the concept of resilience. The party held a national council on 6 wherein the new address will be ratified, with Josep Rull as general coordinator, and will kick off the refounding of Convergence with the expected approval of a document setting out the lines of work to the Congress in which the commitment to independence was formalized and thus reduce the pressure on the electorate ERC. There are different views about when addressing the conclave. Many mayors defend it forward to January, before the municipal elections, to serve as a springboard, although some prefer to address wait to order the party after the date the polls.

On the eve of dyad, the PP also plans to organize a high-level political conference in Barcelona, ​​but without the initial presence of Mariano Rajoy. The objective is to show that the popular “there is life beyond the consultation.”

Both the Moncloa and the Palau de la Generalitat are aware that the Onze de Setembre is key roadmap pro matches to the query and the image of the movement “will not be neutral “Government sources say. Therefore, CiU, ERC, ICV-EUiA (ecosocialists not participate in the Via Catalana last year) and CUP have turned to the big V organized by the Catalan National Assemblea (ANC) and Omnium Cultural, which aims to unite the Diagonal Avenue and Gran Via in Barcelona. The counterpoint Civil Catalan Society that will bring together leaders of the PP and Ciutadans. Although what has aroused more excitement is the presence of socialist Carme Chacón.

Then comes the parliamentary marathon. With the general policy debate in the Parliament the week of September 15, the Government hopes to emerge unscathed and offering an image of party supporters consensus 9-N, which would eventually approving the law on 19 queries in full ordinary. With the backing of a Consell de Garanties divided, the PSC should explain the meaning of his support for the law, combined with the rejection of the rule of lawyers that stood in the Catalan Socialists advisory body, and opposition to the 9-N . The forecast is that Friday the law is published in a special edition of the Official Gazette of the Generalitat de Catalunya and the president of the Generalitat afternoon firm decree call for consultation on 9 November. The aim is to avoid an immediate appeal of the central government after the cabinet meeting, but also guarantee a minimum period of 40 to 45 days needed to get ready device consultation, as calculated by the technical process area electoral and consultations Governació department.

So far the forecast of certain facts. Pending Resource Executive Rajoy consultation to law and the decree of convocation to the Constitutional Court, which would mean the immediate interim suspension of both. But commitment is to summon all groups supporting consultation to agree on the next steps and that is where the horizon is clouded. The president does not want to advance scenarios and the Government is prepared to react depending on the facts. However, there are differences between CiU supporters not disobey the Constitutional Court and those who consider to do a flexible reading of a precautionary suspension while no sentence. In CUP ERC and the majority view is to be imposed disobedience to the High Court, but the party leadership, for now, just ask CiU have the device ready 9-N. Precisely these differences are the Republicans wield as if Mas poses handicap enter the Govern. A pending folder as the president stood in autumn.

The other difficulty is that the Government intends to reconcile the commitment to consultation with negotiations with ministries to unlock some of the claims in the document that Artur Mas gave Mariano Rajoy at its last meeting at the Moncloa . The Vice President of the Government, Joana Ortega, was placed with Soraya Saenz de Santamaria in September to address a timetable for negotiations. Some claims may be included in the State Budget for 2015, provided that the Executive Rajoy can ensure that the public does not perceive them as a concession. Although the strength of the process against Madrid, the Government contends, is that “nothing 9-N is over.”
