Junts has raised the tone this Thursday against Esquerra Republicana by accusing his former partner in the Government of the Generalitat of "submission" and of closing bad agreements with the central government in the last four years.
"They cannot expect us to act as firefighters for their bad agreements without them rectifying their submission to PSOE and Sumar," said Míriam Nogueras, leader of the formation in Madrid, from Manresa. "We will not act as a crutch for anyone," he added.
Nogueras has also replied to the Republicans, who have requested a common pro-independence front to demand the complete transfer of Rodalies, that the transfer was already made more than ten years ago and that what is lacking are the economic resources and infrastructure.
Toni Castellà, candidate for the Senate, for his part, has accused the State and the PP, Vox and PSOE of "wanting to destroy the Catalan language because that is destroying the nation", as a result of what happened in recent days in Burriana, in Castellón, where subscriptions to magazines in Catalan in the public library have been eliminated.
In addition, Castellà has appealed to disappointed CUP, ERC and angry Catalans who abstained on May 28 to vote for JxCat, while reiterating his commitment not to inaugurate any president who does not recognize the right of self-determination for Catalonia and to approve an amnesty, although it is in the Congress of Deputies and not in the Upper House where the head of the central Executive is elected.
In turn, the president of the party, Laura Borràs, has reproached the Republicans for agreeing with the PSC in the Lleida and Tarragona councils. "Those who say that we are not to be trusted have agreed with the PSC in Tarragona and Lleida with an enthusiasm that we would have liked very much to find for a pro-independence majority in the Barcelona Provincial Council," she asserted.
Likewise, Borràs has highlighted that they "try to practice coherence with great conviction, even if that means not being in the provincial government and not taking the easy path that some fellow travelers have chosen", an allusion to the two defectors of the post-convergent group of the Barcelona Provincial Council that have joined the PSC and will enter the government of Lluïsa Moret in the supra-municipal corporation.
