The president of Òmnium Cultural, Xavier Antich, has called on the sovereignist parties and institutions this Saturday to recover a common strategy. This has been stated in the general assembly that the entity has held this Saturday in the Drassanes of Barcelona, where it has assured that for a year it has not stopped working for it, often “out of focus” and “far from the scuffles with the different entities of the country.
“We have not stopped working, against voices interested in making people believe that nothing is happening here, that the ‘procés’ is dead and that the political conflict is resolved. We say that nothing is over here,” Antich pointed out. The sovereignist entity works “to renew consensus and to make it possible to address the media resolution of the political conflict,” according to its top leader.
From Òmnium they will continue to insist that CKD and together rebuild bridges, once the pro-independence coalition broke up a few months ago. Also with the ANC, which is currently debating whether or not to support an alternative independence candidacy with which to run in the next elections. Antich has highlighted that only a shared strategy will allow the activation and construction of the political and social hegemony necessary to put the sovereignist horizon on the table again. “We do not have the magic wand, we are only an instrument at the service of civil society,” he said.
