He President of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès, has predicted that the PSOE candidate for the presidency of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, will receive the July 24 “powers that be phone calls” for your party to make a “service to Spain”, refrain and allow the PP to govern, something that can only be avoided if ERC achieves a “decisive” result.
The national coordinator of ERC has starred in a campaign act for the general elections in Manresa (Bages), together with the number two on the list for Barcelona to Congress, Teresa Jorda, and other party candidates.
In the fight with the PSC to establish itself as the “useful vote” in these elections to stop the “reactionary wave of PP and Vox”, Aragonès has accused the Socialists of being a vote “useless”, Well, your alternative to the right “can be easily disabled on July 24″, the day after the elections.
powers that be
The reason, according to the president, is that the PSOE will receive from that day “phone calls from the usual, from the factual, financial, media, political and economic powers”, demanding that the socialists allow the PP of Alberto Núñez Feijóo to govern.
“We saw it in 2016 when the PSOE abstained from making Rajoy president. If the circumstances arise, have no doubt that they will do it again. On the 24th they will receive calls from the powers that be from the right and the extreme right, who will ask to PSC and PSOE a service to Spain in the form of abstention to allow the list with the most votes to govern”, he warned.
The recipe to avoid it, he added, is that ERC get a “magnificent” result in the 23J. “The best way that, when they pick up the phone and make that call, they see that it communicates, is for ERC to obtain a decisive role,” she pointed out.
the negotiating table
And he has promised that if the Republicans are back in force similar to that of four years ago in Congress, “they will do it again”, in relation to the strategy of the dialogue path that he has vindicated, despite being the target of criticism from other sectors of the independence movement.
“We will force the state to sit at the negotiating table to accept that there is a political conflict”, stressed the president, who has called for “maximum mobilization” at the polls.
The state and the drought
Under an intense sun in the center of Manresa -the only outstanding mayor’s office that ERC tied up in the last municipal elections-, the number two to Congress and ‘former councilor’ of Acció Climàtica, Teresa Jorda, has alluded to “severe drought” that whips Catalonia and, in view of this, he has accused the State of abandoning the Catalans to their fate.

In a very forceful intervention “from the heart of Catalonia”, Jordà has “demanded” the PSOE that in the midst of a climate emergency invest in infrastructure modernization of irrigation in Catalonia, such as the Urgell canal, in addition to allowing the Generalitat to manage the water from its own internal basins.
