The Government expressed this Tuesday his “indignation” because of how the Spanish justice system is reacting to the investiture negotiations that, if there are no setbacks, will result in an amnesty law that will exonerate those convicted and investigated from the ‘procés’. The spokesperson for the Catalan executive, Patrícia Plaja, has been especially upset with the judge of the National Court Manuel García-Castellón whom he has accused of “wanting to violate the rule of law” with his latest decision to link former president Carles Puigdemont with the cause of the Democratic Tsunami. The Generalitat even suggests that he would be “prevaricating”.
“To them to whom theoretically It is up to them to administer justice, they seek not only to condition political negotiations, but also punish them by prevaricating“, he said. For the Generalitat, it’s not by chance that this order of the magistrate, which was announced this Monday, appears right now. He considers that it seeks to “dynamite” the agreements between the PSOE and the Catalan independence movement.
From Plaza Sant Jaume it is interpreted that all the judicial movements of recent days, including the statement from the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) against the amnesty, respond to the mobilization of the right against the investiture. A reaction that is being seen in the streets with protests, but that is also being attempted from the courts.

For the Generalitat, this mobilization of the “reactionary right” It had a founding moment. It was a few days ago when the former president of the Government José María Aznar (PP) He called to fight the amnesty. “Who can contribute, contribute, who can act, act,” he said. Thus, according to the story of Plajawhat they have done García-Castellón or the conservative bloc of the CGPJ is simply achieve orders.
Yeah the Generalitat He feels indignation with the judge of the Court, with the CGPJ he feels rather perplexity. Plaja has considered it unprecedented for this body to rule against an amnesty of which the details have not even been made known. “They position themselves on something that has not yet happened. They advance and appear contrary without hiding. Where is the separation of powers?“, he asked himself.
The Government is especially bothered that the independence leaders of the ‘procés’ are linked to the crime of terrorism, since it considers that the Democratic Tsunami It never stopped being a peaceful protest. The only thing that the Generalitat is resigned to is that there are new protests called about the amnesty, since it considers them protected by freedom of expression. Of course, he considers them a reaction from the right to maintain his idea “of a [España] big and free.”

Unlike ERC this Monday, today the Government did not want to argue on the investiture negotiation of Junts and the PSOE, whose outcome is being delayed more than expected. If yesterday the Republicans explained, after the meeting of the party executive, their fear that Junts wanted to include “cases of corruption” in the amnesty, Plaja has avoided this issue.
“I am convinced that those who are negotiating They will know what to do. “It would be unwise to speak out on negotiations that are taking place,” he concluded. In short, if ERC as a party wanted this Monday to send a warning signal about the negotiations, this Tuesday ERC as the Government has preferred save it.
