Video war between Ayuso and Aragonès

The president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès, has responded sarcastically to a video by the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso in which she encourages people to attend the demonstration organized by the Catalan Civil Society (SCC) and which will take place this Sunday. streets of Barcelona to reject a possible amnesty for those prosecuted by the process. The head of the Government replies to the leader that Catalonia "has stopped the right and the extreme right and some cannot bear to lose and that now the independence movement has the key" to the investiture and, if it happens, to a legislature led by Pedro Sánchez. "For Catalonia, for true freedom and democracy. For all that, amnesty and self-determination," the Republican concludes in a video in which he reproduces and imitates Ayuso's dialectic.

The president published a video this morning that was just one minute and twenty seconds long. Aragonès' last words respond to the following statement by Ayuso: "For the truth, for the unity of Spain, for the law and the rule of law, for freedom in Catalonia and all of Spain, this Sunday, October 8, we will be in Barcelona , at home".

In the images, the PP leader encourages people to go to the demonstration to defend "the unity of Spain" against the "rabid minorities who hate her and want to end a centuries-old project." "Spain is a nation (...) Spain is a rule of law," because "the coup plotters did commit a crime" and because "everyone in Spain is equal before the law," she says. Furthermore, she assures that "the Catalans who suffer from the separatists every day are not alone (...), they are citizens who have to put up with their politicians every day, incapable of managing for everyone."

Aragonès responds one by one to Ayuso's statements: "Because some are obsessed with persecuting and repressing Catalans who only want to be able to vote. Because Catalonia, yes, is a nation." Likewise, he questions the president's management of the Community of Madrid: "Because some really like to talk about freedom and good management, but they are the ones who cut public health and have higher levels of unemployment."
