The Intricate Ballet of Political Conversations in Galicia
Amidst the turmoil stirred by the revelations of the PP during the electoral campaign in Galicia, the disclosure of contacts with Junts during the negotiations for the investiture of Alberto Núñez Feijóo has taken a new turn. Marta Rovira, from her exile in Switzerland, decided this Tuesday to reveal the identity of the Popular Party deputy who contacted ERC after the summer to inquire about the position of the Republicans. In a surprising twist, the General Secretary of Esquerra directly points to Carlos Floriano as the architect of this communication.
The Dance of Conversations: Carlos Floriano and Teresa Jordà on Stage
When addressing Isabel Díaz Ayuso about these revelations, the Madrid president chose to downplay the importance of the conversations, while at the same time, she belittled Rovira, labeling her as a “fugitive from justice.” Ayuso questioned the credibility of Rovira’s claims, adding a new nuance to the already complex political landscape.
From the PP leadership, the message has been similar, denying any negotiation with ERC during the legislature. However, they acknowledge an informal contact between Carlos Floriano and Teresa Jordà, the party’s number 2 in Madrid, during the month of August. According to party sources, this conversation was classified as “informal and colloquial,” where the PP urged Esquerra to support the most voted candidate, Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
Esquerra Breaks its Silence: “Nothing to Discuss with the PP”
After the news broke about the possibility of amnesty and a conditioned pardon for Puigdemont in exchange for Junts’ support for the investiture, the spokeswoman for Esquerra, Raquel Sans, demanded transparency about the summer contacts. She stated that her party also received a call from the PP but made it clear that they “do not negotiate with those from Operation Catalonia or those from ‘a por ellos,'” referring to the Popular Party.
Firm Rejection: “There Is Only One Possible Block, the Progressive and Democratic”
In an interview from Switzerland on the “Aquí Catalunya” program on Ser Catalunya, Marta Rovira reaffirmed Esquerra’s stance, emphasizing that, despite the approach of the Popular Party, they decided to reject any negotiation path. “There is nothing to discuss with the PP,” she said, emphasizing the existence of only one possible block, the “progressive and democratic.”
Conclusions: A Political Act Loaded with Intrigue
Amidst these revelations, the political stage in Galicia is engulfed in a plot of negotiations and contacts that adds a new layer of complexity. The identity of the main actors, informal conversations, and the inflexible stances of the parties shape a political act loaded with intrigue. Transparency and clarity in this power play stand as crucial elements for public trust. The curtain rises, and the audience awaits with anticipation the next twists in this political drama.
