Transversality and Unity
Carles Puigdemont has emphasized the importance of transversality, recognizing that it is not always easy, but underlining the need for joint efforts to add and unite. These principles are presented as priorities for the future government, with the purpose of facing the resumption period with greater knowledge and in better conditions.
Calls for Mobilization
During the presentation of the manifesto, Puigdemont reiterated his call to mobilize the vote, urging citizens not to succumb to the ‘easy solutions’ of the extreme right. He has urged those who have not yet decided on their vote to promote a mobilization similar to that of 1-O, joining electoral efforts to achieve the common objective. These principles will reflect the spirit of the government that he aspires to lead, without ignoring the demand for transversality and plurality that characterizes the independence movement.
Without Sectarianism
Puigdemont has assured that the government he seeks to lead will not ignore the demand for transversality and plurality that characterizes the independence movement. Furthermore, he has indicated that this proposal will be reflected in the organization of the government, in the improvement of the quality of public service and in the relationship with the Spanish State, seeking that the Catalan proposals are considered as an expression of the people of Catalonia.
