The PSC militancy supports that Pedro Sanchez is negotiating with the independence movement to obtain the necessary votes to be reinstated as president of the Government. This is what they have decided through a internal consulting, in which a total of 7,909 socialists have participated, which the party opened last Monday and which closed this Saturday. He 85.4% of the members of Salvador Illa’s formation support the strategy of the PSOE, the 12.2% has been against, the 2.4% has voted blank and 0.2% It has been a null vote.
For days, the leadership of the Catalan socialist party had been committed to ensuring that the consultation had the more participation the better. In front of everyone, his first secretary, Salvador Illa. Illa himself had also sent clear messages in favor of agreeing on the investiture with the independence movement, although this entails an amnesty law that the PSC has not always defended.
The question that the PSC posed to its 13,000 militants was the same as the one proposed by the PSOE and that did not make explicit mention of the negotiation with ERC and Junts or to the approval of a amnestybut the socialists understood that it was implicit: Do you support the agreement to form a government with Add and achieve the support of other political formations to achieve the necessary majority?
