A Critical Vision of the Return of Puigdemont
The recent return of Carles Puigdemont to Catalonia, even if it was only for a short period, has been interpreted by some as a triumph for the independence movement. However, it is essential to analyze whether it really represents a significant victory or whether, on the contrary, it should be understood as another episode within a narrative of struggles and defeats.
Reflections on the Past
Catalonia has been marked by its history, where the commemoration of the defeat of September 11, 1714 stands as a paradigmatic example. While it is important to remember these dates to understand our present, we must not forget that this celebration can distort our perception of current reality.
Defeats Are Not Victories
The return of figures like Puigdemont or Marta Rovira, as well as the amnesty law, should not be considered as successes of the independence movement. Instead, they should be seen as the consequences of struggles that have left deep scars, with a repression that is still palpable in Catalan society.
The Future of Independence
Over time, it is clear that independence should be the only goal to be considered a victory. Between defeat and victory, there is only a waiting period that brings no real solutions. This situation is the result of the actions of the independentists themselves, who often divide and label each other without realizing that unity is key.
A New Leadership Needed
Current politics demands a renewal of faces and leadership. The old tics that confuse the party with the country do not help to move towards a common goal. The political situation in Catalonia, especially after the elections of 23 July, reminds us that the national context directly affects the future of the independence movement.
The Current Political Context
Currently, parties such as the PP and Ciutadans, which have traditionally been opponents of independence, have unexpectedly contributed to the increase of this feeling in Catalonia. His actions and speeches, such as that of the ‘fracture of Spain’, have provoked a reaction that has strengthened independence aspirations rather than weakened them.
Final Reflections
The road to self-determination for Catalonia is complex and requires a new perspective. Only with renewed leadership and a united approach will progress be made towards a real solution. The moment demands a profound rethinking of our objectives and strategies, leaving behind internal divisions and working together for a future that truly reflects the aspirations of the Catalan people.
