Impedir la normalització del 155 és la manera de guanyar la República
Preventing the normalization of 155 is the way to win the Republic.
Carles Puigdemont is the 130th president of Catalonia and he will continue to be. And there will not be a 131st legitimate president while he does not stop being so on his own accord or by the free vote of the Parliament of Catalonia.
This Saturday has been a very weird day. On the one hand, we can understand that the government of the Republic does not now have the capacity to impose itself on all the administrative structure of the Generalitat, since there have been evident gestures of compliance with the Spanish government. But it is also true that President Puigdemont appeared before the public through the public media and from the government building in Girona, with a clear message, demanding calmness, patience and perseverance and exercising in his capacity as president. Everything indicates that this weird interval we have experienced will be clarified on Monday, when we will check if the government can work normally or not.
If they can not behave normally, many people will experience it as a defeat. I, however, will see it just as the beginning of the game. From a game that, against what can appear, has no clear winner at all. Each contestant has his strong chips, not only Spain. And an obvious proof of this is that the European institutions have stopped the violence that, if you have no doubt, it would have been otherwise. The Catalan government is obvious that he can not do what he wants. The Spanish government either.
We have to understand what happens, assuming that on Friday there have been two decisions that have been overcome. On the one hand, the parliament has created the Catalan Republic and, on the other, the Catalan autonomous institutions have been illegally occupied by the Spanish government, using the excuse of article 155.
The Spanish government makes difficult the administrative exercise of power by the legitimate government of Catalonia. But it is evident, on the other hand, that he has not been able to settle it. Carles Puigdemont is the 130th president of Catalonia and he will continue to be. And there will not be a 131st legitimate president while he does not stop being so of his own will or by the free vote of the Parliament of Catalonia. Perhaps the Spanish government believes its thesis that the government of Catalonia should only be a large deputy. But this is not the case: the Generalitat is mainly the political representation of the Catalan people and the Generalitat still has its president.
The next few hours we will know for sure what conditions the game will have and what we have to do all together. Especially what has to be done by the immense popular movement that has led us to the proclamation of the Republic and which is the most powerful tool that this government has and which no government could imagine. I think we have to wait first to know how the president and his government want to play this game and what the parliament wants to do. Rajoy may have limited the administrative capacity of the Generalitat, but can not in any way limit policy while the president holds office, while the government continues to be the government and the parliament the parliament, but especially as more than two million Catalans are so determined to maintain our democratic rights and our institutions as we were on the first of October.
Therefore, and based on this, it is so important that the attack on the Generalitat committed by Rajoy can not be normalized in public life. This is the first and most important goal now. The battle against 155, and we have to be aware that this battle goes beyond the pro-independence parties, is now the battle to be done, the battle to sustain with the utmost firmness. Because winning it will be to consolidate the Republic.
Spain believes that it can impose its decrees on the administrative structure of the Generalitat and that with that the problem is resolved. But the key question that remains intact, right there, is how Spain thinks that it can impose its illegal norms and its collaborative institution in the town, if the citizens of Catalonia do not recognize it and if there are other institutions , starting with the city councils, who do not do it either.
You can feel as nervous as you like and express as much sadness as you like. But what we have to be aware of is that citizens and other institutions in the country are in real conditions to cause the collapse and ineffectiveness of the anti-democratic regime proposed by Madrid. And that, beyond the specific episodes of these days, achieving this inoperation will be the victory of the Generalitat and the victory of the Republic. ... the game just started.
