With the negotiation for the amnesty and the investiture of Pedro Sánchez still not closed, the CUP adds more pressure. He does so on ERC and Junts, which, together with the common members, he now urges to vote this Thursday on a motion that proposes the creation of a drafting report in the Parliament of Catalonia that drafts a referendum law.
The CUP deputy in Parliament Montserrat Vinyets has urged this afternoon to vote in favor of this motion. In a press conference from the Catalan Chamber, the anti-capitalists have assured that their initiative wants to defend that "the amnesty cannot be separated from self-determination." According to the people of Cuba, "it seems that the right to self-determination has been dropped from the equation" in the conversations with the PSOE. For his part, deputy Xavier Pellicer has denounced that "the Parliament's resolutions to link amnesty and self-determination are not being fulfilled."
Anti-capitalists have also stressed that since 2017 the Parliament "has not made any legislative proposal beyond declarations." And they have defended that the best way to work on a referendum law is a joint drafting report, as they propose. According to Vinyets, in this way all parliamentary groups can participate and work begins "without a preconceived text." He has also added that it would serve to hear speakers on international conflicts and "empty our experience of 2017."
Vinyets has also argued that they have now presented the motion taking into account the report on the clarity agreement commissioned by the Government and whose conclusions were presented a few days ago. And he recalled that this same report indicates that the council of experts "cannot nor does it want to replace democratic representatives". "We believe that decisions that correspond to the Parliament should not be outsourced," added the deputy.
And with respect to the requests from Vox and Cs for the Board to reconsider the decision to admit the CUP motion for processing, the deputy has trusted that these initiatives "do not have any type of path." "We see no problem for a Parliament to be able to debate and talk about everything. Including the right to self-determination," she defended.
For his part, Pellicer has warned that within the framework of the PSOE's negotiations with ERC and Junts for the investiture, "the Parliament's resolutions to link amnesty and self-determination are not being fulfilled." And he has also regretted that an amnesty is being negotiated "under summary secrecy" because there is no other information other than "interested rumors."
