Sánchez warns Junts and ERC not to encourage rupture: “There is no possible progress along that path”

On the eve of Alberto Núñez Feijóo's investiture failing as planned and the process for the eventual re-election of Pedro Sánchez as President of the Government starting, the demands agreed this Thursday between Junts and ERC in Parliament to support the leader of the PSOE - the amnesty and, above all, taking steps towards a self-determination referendum - has led the socialists to put their foot on the wall.

The PSOE and the PSC have thus issued a joint statement this afternoon in which they "reiterate their willingness to commit to dialogue as the only way to guarantee progress and coexistence in Catalonia." “A dialogue that must serve to overcome the division and not to deepen the rupture and discord that generated so much tension in a sterile way in Catalonia and the rest of Spain,” the statement says. “There is no possible progress along that path,” warn the socialists, who reject a self-determination referendum.

“The path is that of coexistence and cohesion, understanding and the economic and social progress of Catalonia and the rest of Spain, always within the Constitution,” alleges the socialist statement.

“In the last general elections, Catalan society in particular, and Spanish society as a whole, have broadly opted for a progressive government that continues the path of dialogue, agreements and harmony begun four years ago, and not by looking at the worst. past but to continue building a better future together,” highlights the joint statement from the PSOE and the PSC.
