The role of Ara Públics in the European institutions
Diana Riba, ERC candidate for the European elections on June 9, has expressed her conviction regarding the role Junts per Catalunya has played in the European institutions in the last five years. At an informative breakfast at the Nueva Economia Forum in Madrid, Riba emphasized that the ability to influence is marked by the role of MEPs in parliamentary groups. According to Riba, the fourth group in the chamber, where ERC is located, and The Left, where Ara Repúbliques is located, have a very high incidence, while Junts per Catalunya is not in any group and has not had such an intense legislative task.
The law of clarity and the right to self-determination
Riba has regretted the lack of participation of Junts per Catalunya in the work to draw up a law of clarity with the intention of achieving a common European law for the right to self-determination, one of the main points of the ERC electoral program for these elections In addition, he has rejected the idea that the exiles could have escaped justice with the approval of the amnesty law, stating that all the exiles have appeared before justice and were not on vacation.
The future of the independence process
The ERC candidate has insisted that the amnesty law does not represent the end of the pro-independence process, although she has acknowledged that it is an important milestone. In addition, he highlighted the importance of continuing to work to achieve the right to self-determination in Europe, stating that the borders in Europe are moving and the will of the citizens must be listened to.
The support of Ernest Maragall and the defense of the right to self-determination
Ernest Maragall, who presented Diana Riba, recalled that the candidate entered politics because of the repression suffered by her husband, Raül Romeva, as a member of the 1-O Government. Riba has reiterated the importance of defending the right to self-determination in Europe, stating that the population wants to exercise this right and that it is necessary to find a solution.
