The need for an independent Government
  • It is the orena of the independence government in Catalonia. The ANC has announced that on 28 February it will be holding a demonstration in favour of it. In 2010, fourteen of the 135 members of the independence parties were already in play, now 75.

The point is that it has an explanation, 62 of CIU, including Carles Puigdemont, and many other independentists who would be part of that large group. In the last three Autonomous Elections, 2015, 2017 and 2021, they have won loosely by an absolute majority. The non-independence Government therefore seems out of place.

What is in place is Spain: the holding of the elections on 14 February was imposed by the Supreme Court of Catalonia. The campaign was carried out with political prisoners when they entered and left prison and 5% of the current parliamentarians have legal cases related to the repression of the referendum.

But JxCat and ERC have adapted very badly from the latest coalition governments. Besides being evident, Puigdemont also explains M’explo. From the investiture to l’exili, very raw. The president again and again turns to Oriol Junqueras and ERC for the doubts they raised before the referendum to celebrate it, because they did not prepare for the referendum and because they left only Puigdemont. The complaint of ERC leaders is also clear to JxCat: “But what do you think, that the country belongs to them?” However, they will have to form government and now they want the Cup to be inside as well. These have been set out, but, of course, conditions are not easy, especially now that, due to the new street unrest, the Mossos have been called for to be rebuilt.

Another governance option: ERC, in Comú and the CUP (and also without the CUP). But, in view of En Comú's attitude, it's hard to imagine how an executive can govern towards independence. To begin with, I would need to abstain from the CSP, which has joined the lists. And as for governance, sometimes I would need the support of the Socialists and sometimes JxCat. In any case, it would always be a weak government.

After 1 October, the Procés is adrift, it is clear, but there they are, ready to go ahead, not knowing how to do it. When in July 2010 almost a million people took to the streets against the hairstyle from Madrid to the Statut, no one would have imagined what they would live in the next decade. You've taken a giant step, but how do you go on? They have no choice but to agree, they cannot do it separately. In short, they must agree in the medium term on the level of sustainable confrontation with the State; at the same time move forward by opening up the soil of independence. They have to form government, but without pushing the street, the procés go to the street. Unfortunately, no Spain has yet been born to provide a democratic solution to the problem.
