The firm position of JxCat in the negotiation of the amnesty law
The president of JxCat, Laura Borràs, defended this Saturday the determined attitude of the party in the negotiation on the amnesty law. Borràs has emphasized the importance of complicating attempts to sabotage the law and has affirmed that JxCat will not back down on this issue.
During his speech at the National Council of Junts in Llagostera, Borràs criticized the ERC government led by Pere Aragonès, accusing it of culminating social dependence. According to Borràs, ERC does not want to upset the socialists and does not have a determined attitude in defending the interests of the pro-independence parties.
The defense of comprehensive amnesty
Laura Borràs has expressed JxCat’s desire to promote a comprehensive amnesty law that includes all independence activists who have been unjustly persecuted. The party wants a robust law that leaves no one behind and that makes it difficult for attempts to sabotage it.
The criticism of the accusation of terrorism
In his speech, Borràs described the accusation of terrorism against former president Carles Puigdemont as unworthy. He has stated that this accusation is an attempt to prevent Puigdemont from being a candidate and he has recalled that in the European elections of 2019 they also failed to overthrow him. Borràs has denounced that the Spanish judicial system is prepared to do whatever it takes to catch Puigdemont and has criticized the judicial persecution of the pro-independence parties.
The importance of independence
Laura Borràs has highlighted the importance of Catalonia’s independence and has affirmed that JxCat is a radically pro-independence and democratic party. He has criticized the Government of the Generalitat for practicing social dependence and depending on the socialists. Borràs recalled the words of Pere Aragonès in his investiture, where he stated that he would work to achieve independence, and denounced that he will finish the legislature without having achieved this goal.
The vision of Together for Catalonia
Laura Borràs concluded her speech by affirming that the European elections are very important for Together for Catalonia and for Carles Puigdemont. He assured that they will not allow the president to be overthrown and that they will continue to defend the independence of Catalonia. Borràs emphasized that JxCat is the resistance for all those who have not renounced independence.
