The intervention of the President of the Government at the commission of autonomous communities
As the Catalan elections approach, Pere Aragonès has taken advantage of the session of the Senate’s autonomous communities commission to defend his proposals to resolve the political conflict. He has stated that amnesty, singular funding and the referendum are inevitable in the resolution of the conflict.
The positioning of the other political forces
Aragonès has defended his proposals even though no other representative of the Spanish government nor any of the regional presidents of the PSOE have participated in the session against the amnesty law. The barons of the PP have warned Pedro Sánchez that the price of independence will continue to rise.
The insurances of Pere Aragonès
Aragonès has reiterated that both the amnesty and the referendum will be accepted as ways to resolve the sovereignty conflict between Catalonia and the State. This position contrasts with that pronounced by the PSOE ministers before the general elections of 23-J.
The responses of the other parties
Isabel Díaz Ayuso has harshly criticized Aragonès’ proposals, stating that the referendum is illegal and insulting. He has accused independence of imposing illegalities on the State, warning of a spiral of harm.
The defense of Catalonia
Aragonès has justified his presence in the Senate as a defense of Catalonia, while denouncing the constant attacks and mistreatment of the Catalan people.
Reactions and future of the proposals
The positioning of the different parties and the reactions to Aragonès’ proposals show the tension and disagreement existing in the resolution of the political conflict. For now, the proposals will continue to be the subject of debate and confrontation.
