The absence in personal moments
Political exile has led to painful situations for Carles Puigdemont and other Catalan politicians, such as the inability to attend the funerals of their loved ones. In the case of Puigdemont, distance has separated him from his mother, Núria Casamajó, whose funeral is being held in Amer. This situation is not new, since in 2019 he was also forced to say goodbye to his father via Skype.
Impact on other exiled politicians
Carles Puigdemont is not the only politician who has faced these circumstances. Minister Lluís Puig and Toni Comín have also experienced the loss of their parents while in exile. Furthermore, the dehumanization of this situation has become more evident in the midst of the electoral campaign and Pedro Sánchez’s denunciation strategy.
Indifference to exile
The pro-independence circle has expressed its discontent at what they perceive as indifference towards the situation of exiled politicians. The dehumanization of exile has become more evident in the midst of Pedro Sánchez’s denunciation strategy, which has generated perplexity and exaltation in this environment.
Allegations of lack of empathy
Both Carles Puigdemont and other exiled politicians have denounced the lack of empathy towards their situation, especially on the part of Pedro Sánchez and the PSOE. This lack of recognition of the personal and family impacts of political persecution has generated indignation in the pro-independence environment.
Reflections on the lack of humanity in politics
Several exiled political leaders, such as Ruben Wagensberg and Jordi Turull, have expressed outrage at the lack of humanity in politics, pointing out the lack of recognition of the personal and family impacts of political persecution. Oriol Junqueras has also highlighted the lack of humanity in politics, using his own experience to illustrate this point.
Impact on the families of political prisoners
The impact of exile and prison on the families of political prisoners has been significant. Painful situations have been highlighted, such as emergency hospitalizations, separation from young children, and the loneliness of imprisoned family members. These experiences have generated perplexity and excitement in the pro-independence environment, which has denounced the lack of recognition of these impacts by the PSOE.
