The manual of the good political communication director establishes as a golden rule that the one who wins the elections is the one who gets people talking about the issues that your party puts on the table. In July, Sánchez managed to the fear of Vox focused the debate and took the lead.
The requirement of Together of ceding powers over immigration to Catalonia responds to the fear of the neo-convergents that Sílvia Orriols, mayor of Ripoll, heads a list of Catalan Alliance in the next regional elections scheduled for the end of this year.
Historically, every time a xenophobic party has been implemented in inland Catalonia, Before CiU and now Junts, they suffer. Josep Anglada in Vic was the predecessor of Orriols in Ripoll.
For its part, Vox obtains results in municipalities such as Olot or Salt, traditionally nationalist, that the PP never dreamed of achieving. The reason is his forcefulness on immigration issues. A motion of censure is being prepared in Ribera d’Ondara with the participation of the Aliança Catalana councilor. Orriols is spreading its tentacles out of Ripoll and Junts’ legs are shaking, It is your snake egg.
In 2010, Anglada, at the head of Platform for Catalonia, was left at the doors of the Parliament because what in France was called the “republican pact” or agreement of all against the extreme right, but now Junts, by demanding comprehensive skills in emigration, has put this taboo topic at the center of public debate.

If Orriols enters the Parliament door next autumn, Illa and Sánchez will find it almost impossible to square all the faces of that Rubik’s cube that is currently the government of Spain; Junts, pending on its right flank, will become unbearable for the Comuns, also essential for Sánchez. In this context Everything could blow up at any moment.
