ERC continues to insist on holding a face-to-face meeting between the leader of its party, Pere Aragonès, and that of Junts, Carles Puigdemont. After proposing to celebrate it "wherever" a few weeks ago in an interview, the Republican Party yesterday sent a letter to Junts proposing a date, next Monday, April 22.
This coming Monday, two debates were going to be held between the main candidates for the Generalitat, however the summons to Congress of Salvador Illa over the mask case has caused them to be postponed. In this way, the suspension of the debate "has freed up a few hours of Aragonès's agenda" that he wants to take advantage of to "hold the face to face" between the president and Puigdemont.
The letter, signed by the ERC campaign manager, Oriol Duran, insists on holding the debate "in person wherever." Next, Duran states that Junts has already "rejected without apparent reason" several debate proposals by Esquerra.
On the other hand, they also propose to Junts to hold a debate of the numbers 2 on the lists, "in case they refuse to have Puigdemont participate in the debate." "They are two perfectly complementary proposals," they add. If it takes place, Laura Vilagrà, vice president of the Government, and Anna Navarro, number two of Junts, would participate in the debate between the numbers 2.
Finally, Duran assures that if they refuse to hold the debates, "they will understand" that Junts "does not have any proposal for Catalonia." "It would be sad news to leave a part of the independence movement without a country project," he concludes.
