The general secretary of Junts, Jordi Turullresponded this Saturday to the leader of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who yesterday asked for the help of the Catalan business community to obtain the votes of Puigdemont’s party and thus promote a motion of censure … against the current president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez. «You should not ask for help from businessmen, but for forgivenessfor having invited so many of them to leave Catalonia and not having asked them to return.
This was indicated by Turull during his speech at the National Council of his party, when he criticized the fact that the president of the PP yesterday had the “audacity” to attend an event at the Foment del Treball to ask for help from Catalan businessmen and get the votes of Junts to expel the socialists from the Executive. Along the same lines, the general secretary of the party has claimed that Feijóo apologizes to the Catalans for his “preventive motion of censure to [Xavier] Trias agreeing with [Jaume] Collboni and making the socialists rule in Barcelona”, and for “all the boycott” that he is doing so that Catalan “can be an official language in Europe.”
He has also urged him to ask the Catalans for “forgiveness” for “everything they did from the sewers of the State to civilly and politically kill so many Catalan leaders.” “Therefore, do not ask for help from businessmen, but also ask them for forgiveness for their systemic mistreatment year after year while they have had responsibility for the Government,” he added.
At the same time, he recalled that it has been more than a month since the Junts militancy “clearly and forcefully” endorsed the decision of the party’s national leadership to, “after various warnings to the PSOE,” consider the Brussels agreement “finalized,” since the socialists did not take it “seriously.” In this sense, he specified that after this decision taken by Junts, Spain has a Government “without a parliamentary majority”, with “absolute fragility” and “absolutely mired in judicial issues”, issues that have “many doses of ‘lawfare’, of that ‘lawfare’ that they denied when they applied it to the independentists.”
During his speech he also assessed the opinion of the attorney general of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) that endorses the Amnesty law. For Junts it is “a small legal procedural step”, but “a big step” for the possible return of Carles Puigdemont. His return, he indicated, will mark “a before and after in the current political situation” and will exert “a lot of influence on all those expectations that some already set to try to finish sinking us.” Furthermore, he took the opportunity to talk about the polls, such as the latest one from the ‘Catalan CIS’, which predicts that his party and Aliança Catalana would tie on 20 seats.
Regarding the formation led by Sílvia Orriols, Turull has criticized the emergence of a “new political actor that grows from the starkest populism, fueled by fear and prejudice” and that offers “easy solutions to deep problems and shadow projects where it should bring light.”
