“The ball is in Pedro Sánchez’s court.” Under this premise, the management of together -meeting this Monday afternoon- has decided not to put pressure on it when it comes to negotiating and wait to see what the proposal of the socialist leader is, who needs his seven deputies to achieve the investiture. This was explained in the subsequent press conference by the vice president and spokesperson for the group, Joseph Riuswho has assured that his party will not give its votes “in exchange for nothing” and that it will negotiate “based on two axes: self-determination and amnesty.”
Rius, however, has not wanted to advance what these demands will translate into, although he has assured that the proposal made during the campaign by the party’s candidate “could be useful”. Miriam Nogueras, to request the transfers to celebrate a referendum. However, the spokesman for the post-convergents has defended that the demands would have to agree jointly within the framework of a “common front” of the independence movement and has offered to “lead” them, despite having fallen behind ERC by 70,000 votes.
Early pardon for Puigdemont
Within the framework of the de-judicialization, Rius has ruled out that they seek a “personal solution” for Puigdemont and has “totally” ruled out that he could go through a early pardon to the ‘ex-president’. In this sense, he has defended that there are still thousands of “open causes” that affect “thousands” of anonymous independentistas, for which he has warned that the solution would have to be “collective” and that it has to be amnesty.
Some statements that come the same day that the Prosecutor’s Office has asked the Supreme Court to order a new search and capture order against Puigdemont, after losing European immunity. Rius ironized precisely about this, as Puigdemont had already done at noon, assuring that it is “surprising” that one day you are decisive in forming a government in Spain and the next they ask for your arrest.

What Rius did want to make clear is that Junts does not intend to “block anything”, but to “unblock the conflict between Catalonia and Spain”, and has reproached Pedro Sánchez for not having made “any proposal in all these years”. “What is Mr. Pedro Sánchez willing to do to convince us? The ball is in his court,” warned Rius, who has assured that he has “no official contact” with either the PSOE or Sumar.
For now, this Monday’s executive has passed without much internal stridency, despite the two souls of Junts. According to sources consulted by EL PERIÓDICO, the general secretary of the party, Jordi Turull, has asked to avoid internal noise, waiting to see what the movements of the PSOE are. The only critical voice has been that of the ‘ex-minister’ Jaume Girowho at the time wanted to dispute the position of candidate for Congress, and who has regretted that Junts has been in fifth position.
