The socialist candidate for the presidency of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, was the principle goal of questions concerning the post-electoral pacts final evening, through the first televised debate of this marketing campaign, organized by Spanish Television. The consultant of the PSC needed to overcome the insistence with which the representatives of the opposite events urged him to make clear, as he had mentioned in an interview with Cadena SER within the morning, if he didn’t shut the door to an settlement with Junts per Catalunya .

Illa selected to go together with an elevated strategy, profiting from the pattern proven by the surveys. “I will run for the investiture: will they block it?” the socialist snapped on the Junts candidates, Josep Rull – the primary on the listing, Carles Puigdemont just isn’t collaborating on account of his authorized scenario – and the Republican Pere Aragonès. He president candidate was displeased by exhibiting himself because the winner and ignoring the 12-M verdict from the outset. “Let's go down a little [el ritmo] and let the polls speak,” mentioned Aragonès. The two independentists agreed on the impossibility of supporting an Illa who they see as removed from their proposals of “national ambition” and who refuses to let the Generalitat gather all taxes alone.

The PP and Ciudadanos additionally charged in opposition to Illa for together with the pro-independence supporters in “the new stage.” The socialist was particularly bitter in his response to the favored Alejandro Fernández. “I explained the meetings with all the parties, while the PP hid meetings with Junts,” defended Illa, who additionally tried to delve into Fernández's lack of non-public concord with the management of his celebration. “Maybe you [en referencia a Fernández] “He doesn't know them, because we already know the relationship with Alberto Núñez Feijóo.” The PP candidate responded angrily: “Maybe he is not as elegant as he seems. I am a rebellious Catalan and when I have my opinion, I say it; unlike you, when Sánchez appears, he genuflects. In my party you can disagree, not like in the PSOE, which expelled Redondo Terreros for disagreeing with the amnesty.”

Only Jéssica Albiach, chief of the Comuns Sumar candidacy, was clear that she doesn’t intend to provide her votes to Carles Puigdemont and criticized the “juggling” made by Illa to not be blunt on that time. “Junts is the refoundation of Convergència, they are incapable of saying that what is happening in Palestine is a genocide,” criticized the consultant of the commons to attempt to poke on the socialist on the leftmost flank.

The order for the continuity of President Pedro Sánchez was absent all through the controversy. Only the consultant of the PP and within the block devoted to infrastructure introduced it up: “while I talk about the drought, Sánchez talks about how he is in love.”

However, an indication that instances have modified in Catalonia is the extent of presence of the independence challenge. The referendum did certainly seem within the bloc destined for the territorial mannequin and the amnesty however, not like the earlier elections, the plans to attain secession – or frontal opposition to it – have been not omnipresent in all facets of the dialectical confrontation. In a debate amongst six, the place the sport was very divided, one of many solely factors the place some consensus was seen is on the necessity to enhance the financing of Catalonia.

Far from the epic and protection of confrontation with the State, each Esquerra and Junts restricted themselves to defending and contemplating an agreed independence referendum as inevitable. Aragonès didn’t hesitate at that time to go after Rull. “It is a path that has been difficult to open, because some said that doing so would mean giving up on 1-O. It is the path that has given results,” mentioned the Republican relating to the amnesty legislation.
