The president of the confederal group of United We Can, Jaume Asens, has accused the Supreme Court of having an agenda to destabilize the Government and has not ruled out that, for this, the High Court ends up revoking the pardons of the independence leaders after the Chamber of the Contentious-Administrative decided to analyze the appeals to the clemency measures after having inadmissible them due to a change in the composition of the Chamber.
"The will of the Supreme Court to destabilize the coalition government is very great", Asens pointed out in an interview in El Món with RAC1, so, in his opinion, "no scenario can be ruled out", alluding to a eventual revocation of the pardons, something that, as he has predicted, "could happen at the end of the legislature". "It would be a bomb" has sentenced the purple leader.
"My impression is that both the Supreme Court and the judicial leadership have their agenda and at the beginning we already thought that they were the great enemy of the coalition government", insisted the leader of the commons, who has called it a "major aberration" that the Court Supreme Court has changed its criteria in a "predictable way due to the change of majority". "It is very serious," insisted Asens, who understands that "the possibility is opened that the pardons will be overturned." "I would not rule it out," insisted the purple spokesman, who has branded the composition of the Chamber as "ultraconservative."
Asens has also referred to the vote that his group and the socialist group carried out yesterday in a different direction regarding the Audiovisual Law and, despite acknowledging that it was "hard" and that "disagreements are accumulating", he has shown confidence in that the coalition is not going to break. "More things in common continue to unite us than those that separate us," emphasized the leader of the commons.
However, he has recognized that the fact that the Executive is carrying out a law with the support of the PP "is cause for reflection." “We are afraid”, has admitted the spokesman for United We Can in Congress, who has warned that after the change of leadership in the PP, “the temptation” in the PSOE to agree more with the opposition after the Andalusian elections may increase. "It is not ruled out", he has said to add that "in the PSOE, if you leave him alone, look quickly to his right".
Asens has finally spoken of the clash with his counterpart from Esquerra, Gabriel Rufián, who yesterday blurted out "stop anger at Waterloo, go", alluding to Carles Puigdemont's residence in Belgium. For Asens, the relationship with Esquerra "is not touched" and he has framed the clash in "parliamentary dialectics." "There are moments of tension", he justified. However, he pointed out that Rufian's comment "was irrelevant". "I admire his creative capacity, but it seemed out of place", he assessed. "It has been two years since I am going to Waterloo”, added the leader of the commons closest to the former president of the Generalitat and MEP resident in Belgium.
In any case, Asens has reproached Rufián for having tended not to give the same value "to people who were in exile than to those who were in jail." "I think it's not a party position, but a personal one," he opined. "He has often been contemptuous," he has concluded.
