New darts crossed between CKD and the PSC. Just two days after the leader of the Catalan socialists, Salvador Illahas threatened to distance himself from the clarity agreement “if it goes on the divide line”, the ‘president’ of the Generalitat, Pere Aragones, has called on those who oppose this pact to clarify what proposal they have for Catalonia. “If they don’t say it, they don’t have it,” criticized the ERC president without specifically mentioning his political rival, but in clear allusion to this friction.
“There are those who say, before the proposal for the clarity agreement, that voting divides, that giving the citizenry a voice means more division: what implies more division is preventing the citizenry from voting,” Aragonès said in the Republic Festivalan act held by his party to commemorate the proclamation of the Second Republic on April 14, 1931. In his speech, the Catalan leader insisted that “only one referendum recognized by the international community” will allow the result to be implemented, assuring that for this reason they call “a great agreement in Catalonia to defend democracy”.
As the Efe Agency recalls, the clarity agreement follows the Canadian path with the Quebecto try to add internal support in Catalonia during this year and have, at the beginning of 2024, a Catalan referendum proposal with the aim of agreeing then with the State. In this sense, Aragonès’s intention is to initiate political debates within the framework of the party table after the municipal elections in May. It is to these meetings that Illa has ruled out attending if he goes in line with the division.

Aragonès himself has ensured that Maragall is the best option so that Barcelona “is not a subject city, nor of the market, nor does it become a Moncloa annex“. And the mayor has reciprocated by revealing his intention to make the city “the great republican capital that the country needs”, a plan that, according to Europa Press, he intends to carry out hand in hand with the ‘president’.
ERC -has finished off rushes-, is “the only political party that will present lists in all the county capitals of the country.” “It is not by chance that the enemies of democracy have us as their main objective, because they have always had us and because we have always been the political party that suffered the most reprisals and we continue to be,” he concluded.
