The Government has expressed its indignation at the protests that have taken place in different Spanish cities at the headquarters of the Socialist Party. He has also criticized the pronouncement of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), which at the initiative of conservative members yesterday approved an unprecedented warning against an amnesty whose wording is still unknown. Given this, the Catalan Executive has accused the judicial leadership of "prevaricating" and the judge who investigated the Tsunami case, of trivializing terrorism, of acting with "evil" and of wanting to "punish" the negotiations he is maintaining. the PSOE with ERC and Junts.
“In a country that has unfortunately experienced first-hand the consequences of terrorism, and at a time when it is still a global threat that continues to cause victims, someone has the shame and malice to accuse those who have not done so of terrorism. more than always peacefully defending the right to decide” of Catalonia, the Government spokesperson, Patrícia Plaja, has reproached.
The spokesperson has looked for an origin and has pointed, in this sense, to José María Aznar, who last week encouraged action: “Whoever can do, let him do,” she said. “The words have had an effect and the right has reacted and is mobilizing,” he denounced. Even so, he has defended freedom of expression and demonstration, even though it is in the name of "causes as unjust as the political persecution against the independence movement."
According to Plaja, Aznar's call has been expressed "in the streets, in certain media outlets, but above all at the top of the judicial establishment." The spokesperson considered that with these actions "they are violating the rule of law."
For the Government, the best response is to follow the “path of politics and democracy”, and it has taken advantage of pardons, the repeal of the crime of sedition and the possible amnesty, a law that the PSOE and Junts are fine-tuning. after the socialists agreed with ERC last Thursday. Plaja has highlighted “the seriousness of the events.” He has referred especially to the CGPJ: "Those who theoretically have to administer justice - some, not all - seek not only to condition political negotiations, but also to punish them, prevaricating." "They are responding to Mr. Aznar, without hiding; we must guarantee the separation of powers, since judges are there to do justice, not politics," he added.
The Government assures that the negotiations that the independence movement maintains with the PSOE within the framework of the investiture of Pedro Sánchez are “legitimate.” That twelve people are among those prosecuted by García Castellón, including Carles Puigdemont and Marta Rovira, shows that the "Socratic health of the Spanish State is so weak that if conscious measures are not taken it will end up becoming gangrenous."
