After three weeks, refusing to speculate on the idea of early elections and trying to focus all their energies to enable consultation of November 9, Artur Mas yesterday opened the door to precipitate elections, only realistic to give an outlet to the institutional mess looming scenario. He did it in Parliament, where he starred in the first session of the general policy debate.
The President of the Government explained that his desire is to exhaust the legislature in 2016, but admitted that if there are no ‘democratic guarantees »to celebrate the sovereigntist vote 9-N, the command must finish before time to make way for early elections.
” If you can, I would like to finish the term when he plays, that is, to end of 2016 I say if you can. And I wish it could. And as I like what I share with you in a solemn debate of general (…) But this policy “can do” proves one thing, that is something that is mostly in my hands, but not only my hands. In order to be well is to vote on November 9 with full democratic guarantees, “the president said.
But this way performed an exercise in realism, as it will be very difficult for him to continue governing with ERC parliamentary support if the query derailed, as it is expected. Since the political course resumed, Convergence and ERC have insisted that there was an alternative plan to the consultation, the only project that is the 9-N. But the truth is that the Government has been very sharp when announcing that will go to the Constitutional Court to prevent the sovereignty of the Spanish people by Chop an independence referendum. Ie that the unconstitutionality of the query is served.
It is normal, therefore, that at the end of the intervention on the floor But opposition groups give practically exhausted the legislature, seeing, also how the president of the Generalitat avoided to wind up the idea of skipping the legality and consultation call, an option vehemently defended by ERC and the Catalan National Assembly.
The President of the Government does not provide the scene of a query outlawed by the Constitutional Court, so the big question is when to convene elections, if before the end of the year or early next.
The shift Junqueras
Today will be the turn of the president of ERC, Oriol Junqueras, in Parliament, who has much to say. You probably will not want to refer to the uncertainty of a November 9 outlawed in which, for example, can not be polling. No. Junqueras is convinced that the Government has at its disposal sufficient cuts for consultation and therefore press for not deviate from the path.
In any case, to avoid a rout in front sovereignty , Mas launched an appeal to preserve the unity and consensus, which equated to “a figure of fine china you need to know to care gently.”
In addition, in a rhetorical and futile attempt to persuade the government to allow the vote on November 9, Mas said that doing so would be “good for Spain.” “It would mean that Spain finally buries the old to rediscover Spain as it really is: multinational. Suddenly, Spain appear as a high quality country democratic, tolerant, able to listen and democratically resolve what it is; above all, a democratic challenge. How many Spaniards would not want such a state? “Wondered Mas.
The nationalist leader, in any case, the project does not intend to give up the independence that has come to the conclusion that” there is growing more Catalan than this disconnected state, you no longer see or feel it as yours. “
Yesterday, the disconnect itself was evident was that of former presidents of the Generalitat, which usually occupy the public gallery as the debate sessions of general policy. None of them (Jordi Pujol, Pasqual Maragall and José Montilla) presented himself. All disconnected.
Coinciding with the first day of the general policy debate, the Catalan National Congress (ANC) yesterday presented to Parliament “almost 750,000 instances” that invoking the right of petition, calling for the celebration of the sovereigntist consultation and, if not possible, the declaration of independence in accordance with international law. In this campaign to “exercise the right to request ‘has involved people over 16 years, both Catalans as citizens of the rest of Spain, and both foreigners residing in the State as those passing through or living in their countries.
