The President of the Generalitat, Artur Mas, has been anticipated for Wednesday celebration of National Day, on Thursday, in Catalonia, with a corporate message in defense of the inquiry and the notice to state institutions that are “still time” to avoid the train wreck.
Spurred by the referendum on Scottish independence next week, Mas has appealed yet again to Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to allow Catalans to vote on November 9: “The government and state institutions are still in time to listen to the peaceful and democratic clamor of the Catalan people, “he said. “Silence the voice of a people who want to talk about is a mistake; deny the vote to those who see in the polls the solution and not a problem is a double mistake, “he added in reference to the query
.
“My commitment to hold the inquiry is firm,” insists Mas
The institutional message has arrived accompanied by an interview with Agence France Presse in which Rajoy advirte either through consultation or through plebiscitary elections in key Catalan decide on your future. “If the population of Catalonia wants to vote for their future, this is virtually impossible to stop (…) I think it’s unintentionally absurd and I think the Spanish government will have to realize it.”
The Government of Artur But hopes that the international community push Rajoy to seek a solution for Catalonia, with or without consultation, especially if just Scotland voting for independence next week. This also hope the day today, with a massive demonstration expected [there are over 530,000 registered] launch a powerful image of Catalan drive around consultation.
The aim of the nationalists is also remove the criticisms often hurl sovereignism for allegedly inciting the confrontation between communities. “The Catalan people do not want to impose a decision; want to be heard, want to talk, want to vote and want to get good deals for everyone. ” “We are not driven the desire to be better than others but to be better ourselves. We hope, like everyone else, to a better future, we want harmony and solidarity with other peoples of Spain and Europe. “
Even More generally recognized that a” classical independence “of Catalonia impossible due to the increasing interdependencies that globalization implies in his speech itself has advocated to achieve a situation in Catalonia decides everything. “We want to be treated like the other nations of the world and, therefore, decide ourselves on our economy, our welfare, our public services, our identity and how we relate to the other nations of Europe and the world.”
PP and Ciutadans not attend the ceremony commemorating the Sept. 11
But unable to ignore in his speech the growing tension between the sovereigntist parties agreed to the conclusion of the consultation. Republican Left disobey asks if the Constitutional Court prevented, an idea that does not share CiU. For this reason the Catalan president has used his post to seek unity. “My commitment is to convene consultation firm. We have gone up today with a political majority from ideological diversity has taken all necessary decisions to get here. My will is that this unit will not crack and can even be extended to continue to respond to the desire and the will of the majority of our society. “
Calls to the unity of the Catalan people has launched More in this speech and in a letter to all mayors has not been achieved in the official commemoration of National Day, which this year had the added attraction of commemorating the 300th anniversary of the fall of Barcelona to the Bourbon troops in the war Succession. Neither the PP nor Ciutadans have attended the ceremony at the Fossar Moreres of them, one of the most symbolic places of nationalism. The act replaced the celebrated each year in front of the Catalan Parliament and that initially did have representation of all Catalan forces. The new location is so far concentrated independence of National Day events and the Government has plantedo as a tribute to the fallen in the siege of Barcelona Catalans. Hence the marked patriotic character message Mas, who has linked to the query. “Catalan nation is alive; have country; and prepared to decide our collective future. “
