The Catalan separatists have joined forces to turn the regional elections on September 27 in a plebiscite to declare secession of Catalonia and proclaim the Catalan Republic.
“There will be no independence Catalonia, “he said briskly Thursday the head of the Spanish government, Mariano Rajoy. “We will enforce the law. Catalonia is not going to go to Spain or Europe, “he reiterated.
The Executive argues that the elections that must be called Artur Mas, president of the Generalitat (Catalan government) are only autonomous to choose a parliament the autonomous region that, in turn, must appoint the new government with a mandate of four years.
But Democratic Convergence of Catalonia, led by Mas, has agreed to present a joint list with Esquerra Republicana, for the elections of September 27.
Some commentators point out that this situation is the “disengagement”, “breaking point”, “secession with Spain”. In the list also are the two popular movements that are not parties pro-independence politicians who led huge protests in recent times.
Two women who lead them will be the first candidate followed by Mas y Oriol Junqueras Republican. This is the Catalan National Assembly and Omnium Cultural, with the support of the Association of Municipalities for Independence. Also they are represented other parties and groups.
Some leaders of these nuclei have stated that this is not just agree to participate in the common list but also the conditions for participation in a coalition government.
In case he wins the elections, the separatist coalition will support the new government is led by Artur Mas. He immediately proceed to “organize the new state structures”.
a constitution for the new republic of Catalonia would be prepared, and between six and nine months after the elections of September 27 secession would proclaim Catalonia.
A very important novelty is that Mas and Junqueras have agreed that the list should be headed by a left-wing politician, former MEP and former party leader ICR, Raul Romeva, coping the rise of libertarian forces can and triumphant Ada Colau, flamboyant mayor of Barcelona.
Romeras stated that the list is a “yes to independence,” adding that if the transition to succeed Secession will be quick.
On Thursday night, Rajoy reiterated that “the law will be fulfilled in Catalonia and Spain anywhere.” If they continue the sovereignist alternative the Executive will resort to justice to destroy any initiative of the Catalan government if it deviates from its authority to convene regional elections.
