President Quim Torra calls on Parliament to defend its seat
- Torra has warned ERC that, if it does not regain its seat, it will "put the institutions at risk". The Bureau of Parlament has previously approved the withdrawal of the President's Minutes of Deputies with the votes in favour of ERC, PSC and Ciutadans. The break-up between the independentists has become apparent in the plenary session held this afternoon.
At 15:00 in the afternoon, the plenary session began in the Parliament of Catalonia. Parlament President Roger Torrent has announced that he will not recognise Torra’s vote to Members. Torra has taken the floor below, correctly challenging the decision and demanding the recovery of the post of Member: "Otherwise, you will put the institutions at risk," he warned the members of the Abertzale coalition. JxCat spokesman Albert Batet spoke in favour of Torra: “If today we drop President Torra, who can assure us that tomorrow we will not drop the government?” The Cup has pointed out that "it's a day to defend Torra and her peers." According to spokesman Carles Riera, the current situation has been the result of “pragmatism” and the only solution is to “face it”. The CSP and the Community have joined the proposal. They have declared that the legislature is over, and they have asked the president, Torra, to convene new elections in Catalonia.
The day has symbolized the fracture experienced by independence. In addition to the clash of positions within Parliament, several street officials have called for protests, including the ANC. During the plenary session, citizens have begun to meet outside the parliaments.
