Turull reveals that the verification mechanism agreed with the PSOE helped close the pact

The agreement between PSOE and Junts per Catalunya to unblock the investiture of Pedro Sánchez includes a verification mechanism that should help ensure that there is an understanding between both parties in the negotiation space that they have agreed upon and that has already done a first job, as revealed this Tuesday the general secretary of JxCat, Jordi Turull.

The leader of the post-convergents has indicated that this mechanism, which is a European institution and not specific people, helped close the agreement that was signed last week in Brussels by himself and, on the part of the socialists, by Santos. Cerdán, Ferraz's number three and Sánchez's trusted man. This is what Turull has pointed out in statements to TV3.

Before the end of November, a first meeting must be held and this forum, which will work with absolute discretion, must be convened once a month from now on. "We are not talking about people, we are talking about a verification and support mechanism," Turull said last week in an interview with La Vanguardia, in which he pointed out that favorable conditions have to be "created" for the negotiation.

"What we will not do is announce, as was done with the dialogue table, tomorrow there is a meeting.

Now we are entering a very serious phase of absolute discretion. We have always defended it, as long as there is media pressure this will not work," he added in this regard. "This mechanism is not an aesthetic issue. It is quite serious and rigorous. Therefore, we will not say the day of the meeting, nor the people, nor who makes up one part or another," concluded the former minister, who stated that they will only reveal that that the three parties – PSOE, Junts and mediators – decide by mutual agreement.

Likewise, the leader of Junts has indicated today that in the early hours of Sunday to Monday, at 2:30 a.m., the negotiation and review of the amnesty law that the PSOE parliamentary group registered yesterday alone in the Chamber was considered settled. Download for processing. In the morning, the bill was drafted and signed by JxCat as well, although the socialists asked them to withdraw the signature since Esquerra Republicana expressed its reservations and did not want to give approval at the last moment.

Turull has highlighted that they will not present any amendment to the project that was registered yesterday and considers that it covers all the causes related to the process. Although the leader of JxCat has avoided criticizing ERC, yesterday sources from his party pointed out that those of Oriol Junqueras are trying to "set a profile" at the last moment and that the fact of not signing the rule was a "tantrum." "It's an attack of horns," pointed out sources from the post-convergents, who recalled that the Republicans closed their negotiation with the PSOE two weeks ago and yesterday, however, said that now there were issues to review.
