A new stage for the pro-independence understanding
The resignation of Yolanda Díaz as head of Sumar has generated a significant change in the political scene of Catalonia. This resignation has led to the election of Josep Rull as President of Parliament, with the support of the Junts, ERC and CUP parties. This decision has surprised Madrid and has generated anxiety in the central government.
Reactions in Madrid
The front pages of the Madrid newspapers this Tuesday show a conceptual confusion. The authors have tried to relate events that have no relation to each other, all with the aim of criticizing Pedro Sánchez and his government. This strategy is typical of the media that seek to discredit the opposition.
The ABC newspaper vision
The newspaper ABC presents the election of Rull and the resignation of Díaz as two sides of the same coin. According to this newspaper, Sánchez’s coalition is in danger and his government is in crisis. In addition, the PSC has not been able to prevent the pro-independence parties from reuniting. This view of the ABC newspaper attempts to discredit the central government and cast doubt on its ability to govern.
The vision of the newspaper El Mundo
The newspaper El Mundo uses more aggressive language to describe the situation. According to this newspaper, Illa has allowed Junts to take control of Parliament. This view tries to generate controversy and discredit the pro-independence parties.
The vision of the newspaper La Vanguardia
The newspaper La Vanguardia uses a more critical tone in its coverage. According to this newspaper, ERC has made it easy for Junts to keep the presidency of Parliament. This vision tries to cast doubt on the ERC’s decision and discredit the pro-independence parties.
The vision of the newspaper Libération
The French newspaper Libération, known for its progressive stance, calls for the formation of a popular front to deal with the extreme right. This newspaper highlights the importance of a united left to prevent the extreme right from coming to power.
The need for a new coalition
Libération recalls that a left-wing coalition has already been formed in France in the past and urges a repeat of this experience. The aim is for the MPs on the left to remain united in a single parliamentary group, rather than being divided according to their party background.
The situation in Catalonia
All the newspapers in Barcelona and Madrid highlight the resignation of Yolanda Díaz as coordinator of Sumar. This resignation has generated uncertainty and highlighted the tensions within the pro-independence parties. The European elections in Catalonia have shown that Podemos has more support than Comuns-Sumar, which may influence the political future of the region.
