Fernández’s Prognosis on the Investiture of the Island
Alejandro Fernández, president of the Catalan PP, has expressed his concerns about the imminent investiture of Salvador Illa as president of the Generalitat. According to Fernández, the alliance between the PSC, ERC and the commons could mark a significant change in the political configuration of Spain, transforming it into a confederal state.
A pact that could reconfigure Spain
In a recent interview with Onda Cero, Fernández stated that the agreement between the PSC and ERC, which includes an economic concert that would allow the Generalitat to collect all taxes, is a step towards a new state structure that will not benefit Spain This system, in his opinion, represents a continuation of the separatist tendencies that have marked recent years in Catalonia.
The Economic Concert: A State Structure?
Fernández considers that this economic concert is not only a fiscal issue, but a strategy to establish a State structure that could facilitate a future referendum on self-determination. This position aligns with concerns about the possible destabilization of the Spanish state.
The Danger of an Autonomous Referendum
According to Fernández, the establishment of a confederal state could open the door to a referendum on the independence of Catalonia, with the support of the PSOE. This, in his opinion, would represent a dangerous step that cannot be ruled out and that could compromise the unity of Spain.
Autonomous Financing: A Necessary Solution
The leader of the Catalan PP has proposed that the best way forward for Catalonia would be an autonomous financing system agreed with other communities, which would ensure fairer and more adequate financing. Fernández warns that the economic concert model will only deepen the divisions between the regions.
Final Reflections on the Political Future of Catalonia
With the elections in sight and a possible change in the political dynamic, the situation in Catalonia remains uncertain. Fernández warns that the decisions taken now can have significant repercussions for the political future of Spain, and calls for deep reflection on the path to be followed.
