The mayor of ERC in Barcelona, Ernest Maragall, has referred this morning to two dangerous scenarios that threaten the capital; one, "more sneaky, is the risk of submission, when Collboni wants to subordinate Barcelona to the institutions of the State" and the other, "the entry of any expression of the extreme right, fascist and Nazi". "Let's vote, let's go to the polls en masse to prevent Vox from passing through," he proclaimed, in an act in which the deputy and mayor of Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Gabriel Rufián, also participated, in front of the Republic Pavilion, in the Horta-Guinardó district.
The veteran politician recalled that "this building, in its original version from 1937, housed Guernica, which continues to speak to us and which expresses the same anti-fascist cry in defense of the freedom of those who suffer from xenophobia, racism..." . Maragall recalled his mother, "200% Republican", for this reason "today I am forced to represent that Republican persistence, we are here to liberate Barcelona, we ask for insubordination against Collboni's submission".
At the gates of the demonstration called for tomorrow Thursday by Desokupa, Maragall stressed that "Vox's speech is made by Desokupa, paid for by Ciutadans, Valents and the PP, and is accepted by Collboni when he pays the criteria that we must pay attention to occupations".
The Republican mayor claims for Barcelona the role of capital of rights and freedoms in the face of "the inhibition" of the government led by Colau.
Gabriel Rufián has criticized Colau for reaching the mayoralty four years ago "thanks to a "deporter" of people in France (referring to Manuel Valls); ERC and the people who voted for us were robbed of victory. The question is whether will do it again."
