The former mayor of Vilafranca del Penedès, Pere Regull, who left the command staff of the capital of Alt Penedès a few weeks ago after 14 years as mayor, pointed out this Friday at a PDECat-Espai CiU rally in Sant Cugat del Vallès that "There is more inquisition now than in Franco's time" because "you cannot say anything on the networks without being crushed by the politically correct."
Regull, who supported Aureli Ruiz's Junts candidacy in the municipal elections last May, although he was not a member of Jordi Turull's party, pointed out that "the people need freedom of thought" because "there are more inquisition now than in Franco's time".
Just before, the convergent leader had alluded to the "doctrinal apocalypse" of the media and then alluded to the need for freedom. After making that note, he pointed out, for example, that "we have to talk about the reality of the climate crisis", although he recalled that Catalonia is "the last autonomous community in Spain in the contribution of renewable energy". "We need energy from outside to survive. Now, the climate apocalypse all day," he remarked.
He has also alluded to feminism. "The people need freedom of ideas, to say what they think, to be feminist however they want, they don't need to tell us how", she has continued. "We are feminists, but it is not necessary to rub it in front and behind because in the end that creates rejection and feeds the extreme right," she has sentenced.
Likewise, he stressed that freedom is only possible "if there is order." "They spend the day talking about the republic, but the most important value of the republic is order, and if not, they should tell the French," concluded Regull, who closes the Espai CiU list in the elections on 23 July in a symbolic way with the former mayoress of Calella, Montserrat Candini.
The Espai CiU candidate, Roger Montañola, later thanked Regull for his words. "Now what do I do?", questioned the former deputy of Unió Democràtica de Catalunya. "Regull, fantastic, you have said what the majority of the citizens of Catalonia think, who think it and do not say it", he asserted.
"We are having a balls because for the first time in a long time we say what everyone thinks but nobody dares to say," Montañola started in his speech, in which he lamented that many people "swim and put away their clothes "because they tell him that they will vote for him but they do not make it public because they think about what they will say, or about the position they have in "the Can Colló de la Roca regional council".
In any case, sources from the formation have wanted to distance themselves from Regull's statement regarding the dictator Francisco Franco.
On the other hand, Regull has lamented that "society is touched". "Catalonia is a touched country", he has valued himself. The convergent former mayor has highlighted in relation to the process that in recent years "things were not done well." "Expectations were created and the truth was not told. There was neither money nor recognition", he pointed out. "The people were not warned and the people expected everything," he lamented.
"On the other side there was a Spain that, far from being open to dialogue and understanding, that instead of loving and letting itself be loved, or making itself loved, did nothing more than take out the stick. Not one iota of empathy", continued Regull, who has sentenced that "in the middle of these two poles, Catalonia is affected" and that "this is reflected in the economy, which is the morale and spirit of the people". "That's why people just want to take the car on Friday and go to the beach," he explained.
