Critical to the Aesthetic Decisions
Oriol Junqueras, Left leader, has expressed concern about the recent decision to close the Action Office in Tel-Aviv, considering it an example of “excess of aesthetic” in current politics. In a conversation with Catalunya Ràdio, he has argued that economic strategies are more effective than the rupture of diplomatic relations.
Diplomacy and maintenance of relationships
Junqueras has defended the importance of maintaining open communication channels, citing the historical example of the relations between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. According to him, the continuity of dialogue is essential, as tensions are not resolved by isolating. “It’s good to keep the channels open,” he insisted.
sterile and Hypocrisy debates
The President of the Left has rejected what he considers “sterile debates” on issues such as Israel’s participation in Eurovision, which, he says, “goes beyond hypocrisy”. He warned that the use of issues like these to avoid more important decisions is counterproductive.
Future vision: two safe states
In relation to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Junqueras has expressed his belief that the solution involves the creation of two independent and safe states. This stance is consistent with the Recommendations of the United Nations, and emphasized the need to end the violence that the region has marked for decades.
Rights and duties of nations
The Republican leader acknowledged that Israel has the right to protect his population, but emphasized that this cannot justify the use of indiscriminate violence resulting in the death of thousands of innocent. In the same way, he said that Palestine also deserves to live in a safe and stable environment.
International collaboration required
Junqueras has urged that any measure adopted in this context is the result of a collective effort, emphasizing the importance of the support of the governments of France, the United Kingdom and Canada. Its call for international collaboration emphasizes the need for a united approach to meet global challenges.
