Hello good morning!
The investiture cards are already on the table with Catalonia as the backbone. Amnesty yes or no, that is the debate now. More than intense days are expected. Everything seems to be at stake and everyone is playing it.
Puigdemont was placed yesterday, as expected, in the center of the investiture stage. He calls for an amnesty law and a control mechanism to monitor the pact, conditions prior to sitting down to negotiate the investiture itself. The cards are on the table.
The Government sees an agreement with Junts closer; ERC highlights that Puigdemont joins the path of politics and negotiation; Feijóo now refuses to meet with Junts. Summary: it is clear that Brussels decides and that only an agreement or elections are expected.
There is until the end of November to tie the deal together. This is the board of a chess game that seems to repeat that of now or never and that passes over – does anyone remember? – the Feijóo investiture debate on September 26 and 27.
