The news of the 2023 Budget agreement for Catalonia coincided with an interview on Onda Cero with Alberto Núñez Feijóo. Although he did not know the details of the accounts, the PP leader has described the agreement between ERC and PSC as “good news”. Asked about the matter, in his first reflection Feijóo began by pointing out that this pact shows that “independence is fractured, is broken” and ended up celebrating the agreement between Republicans and Socialists. “I am at least glad that there is a Budget in Catalonia. And get some things done. Beyond the monumental mess in which the Catalan politicians have put the Catalan people, unless they have Accounts it is good news “, he declared.
The conservative leader believes that this budget alliance shows that the PSC “is no longer” the “constitutionalist party” that it claimed to be “but that it is a party that supports Catalan independence” and that it “shares power in Catalonia”, in “town halls, councils or Parliament directly or indirectly”.
Questioned then about whether he sees an ERC-PSC pact as “healthier” than one between ERC and Junts, he did not want to grant Sánchez any recognition in this strategy defended by the central government on several occasions and has responded that what he prefers is “a alliance between constitutionalists”. “If not, we are never going to put an end to the independence movement,” he continued, but what is being done is to “whiten” those formations. “The independentistas have never commanded so much in Spain, it has never been so important to maintain the Spanish president. They have never been given so many things, even the Penal Code pen,” he added after recalling that the central government has repealed the crime of sedition and has reformed embezzlement after agreeing with ERC.

In the protest a few days ago in the Plaza de Cybele against Sánchez, a manifesto was read in which it was said that the President of the Government is leading a process of “constitutional mutation”. This Tuesday, in the debate that was held in the Senate, the head of the Executive asked Feijóo if he agreed with that statement, taking into account that PP leaders attended the demonstration. The head of the opposition left the matter unanswered and this morning he was given the opportunity to do so.
The leader of the popular has said that the process of “constitutional mutation” is something that the independentistas want, although he does not know if Sánchez will dare to do it. The background, he has pointed out, makes him fear so. Feijóo recalled that the PSC has already said that it agrees with holding “what they call euphemistically a query and that is legally called a referendum”. ERC, has added, demands it and this legislature Sánchez has “accepted” the conditions that the Republicans have put on it: “The repeal of sedition, the reform of embezzlement, pardons and not typifying the illegal referendum as a crime”. “Is there a risk of it happening? Yes. Is it going to be done? I don’t know. Which is my goal? prevent it. I eat? Winning the elections “, he has finished.
