The first secretary of the PSC, Salvador Illa, has asked Junts to "live up to the results and the circumstances." "I don't think people are asking for a repeat election," he added in an interview with RAC1. And it is that to invest the leader of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, it would be necessary to vote in favor of ERC and Bildu, and that Junts abstain.
Illa has considered that the "very relevant" result of 23-J "endorses" the policy of dialogue regarding the fit between Catalonia and Spain, and has ruled out self-determination and amnesty, the two demands that Carles Puigdemont's party has repeatedly made. "There is a cornerstone that is respect for the rule of law," argued the leader of the Catalan socialists. In addition, he added that "the public has not voted for self-determination."
With regard to the Government of the Generalitat, Illa has ruled out a motion of no confidence against Pere Aragonés because "this is not the time to have a weak government" and has shown her respect for the fact that the president does not want to call elections.
Illa has also been asked if he will speak with Puigdemont, to which the socialist leader has replied that "he has never refused to speak to anyone", although he has qualified that his interlocutors are "representatives of political formations".
