He appeals to the “reality principle” and acknowledges that he has made decisions that “were not what we wanted”
Pere Aragonès keeps the pulse buried with Carles Puigdemont for the leadership of the ‘procés’. A few days ago, in a strange pirouette, the president of Junts claimed for the Consell de la República, the other entity that he also leads, the flag of independence due to the inaction of the political forces, including his own. Aragonès opened the National Conference of ERC, in a change of program forced by the announcement of his attendance at the Conference of Presidents on Sunday, in La Palma. And in his speech he endorsed a few words repeated a thousand times by Oriol Junqueras (“ERC is the most faithful partner of the people of Catalonia”) to point out that the Republicans “are the ones who are always there”, understand this as you wish, and that “They are the ones who clear the path & rdquor ;, because they are ahead, leading the expedition. “And it is already known that whoever opens the way suffers scratches & rdquor ;, asserted the ‘president’.
“We are the ones who shout little, but we make things happen & rdquor ;, then the Republican headed to launch a few ‘crochet’ (from the left) supposedly to the partners and enemies of Junts. “A country does not advance with empty or misleading proclamations & rdquor; he asserted he, “nor by magic & rdquor ;. Given this, ERC starts “from the principle of reality & rdquor ;, which has led him and the party as a whole, “to make difficult decisions that did not achieve the desired objective, but rather what we found for the way & rdquor ;, he sentenced. He did not give examples, but the audiovisual law, which the Government was already going to approve without taking into account the Catalan part, could be one.
Republican ‘Subway’
He subsequently broke down the four axes of the ERC’s political action in the Generalitat. ‘the metro lines’, as someone has baptized these axes because they are represented by the colors of the first four lines of the Barcelona underground. The red thread (L1, social equity), the purple (L2, feminism), green (L3, environmentalism) and the yellow (L4, democratic, that is, referendum and self-determination).

Throughout his speech, Aragonès was turning over the concept of social cohesion, he did not say it, but he implicitly appealed to “’un sol poble’” by Josep Benet (whom Aragonès did mention) in the transition. “Our idea of a country does not accept leaving anyone behind. We want to liberate the country, “all the neighborhoods and all the towns. Because our goal is for citizens to live better & rdquor ;. A country, he continued, “that is clear that without equality, freedom is not possible. That with patriarchy, there is no freedom. We have to overthrow the patriarchy & rdquor; he exclaimed.
