Catalan Civil Society (SCC) amends the plan to Daniel Sirera. The constitutionalist entity, chaired by Elda Mata, disagrees with the strategy of the PP candidate in Barcelona, who may end up giving the mayoralty to Xavier Trias, since although the ex-convergent former mayor has hidden the initials of his new party during the campaign, It belongs to Junts, a clearly pro-independence formation, recalls SCC.
SCC has issued a statement to request that the constitutionalist parties give "the battle for freedom and equality" and in which it claims, without specifying which municipalities it refers to, that throughout Catalonia the formation of municipal governments be prevented wherever possible of "secessionist sign". All a warning to sailors of an entity that had a great role in the zenith of the process and that organized the massive demonstration against independence on October 8, 2017.
"As a reference entity in the fight against nationalism," the statement read, SCC calls on the constitutionalist formations to "add alternative majorities loyal to the current constitutional framework" in those municipalities where it is within reach to evict the pro-independence forces. The case of Barcelona is not explicitly mentioned, but the intention of this movement is manifest in its appeal to the "responsibility and sense of State" of the leaders and to "not hand over any mayor's office" to the independence movement.
"The great electoral advance experienced in Catalonia by the parties loyal to the democratic State shows that it is possible to transfer to the real Catalonia -plural, diverse and bilingual- institutions governed for decades by an exclusive, sectarian and monolingual nationalism, which has elevated the single non-majority thought to the category of officer", continues the statement, written in a severe tone.
And to reinforce its arguments in the current political situation, SCC concludes that "the latest movements of the main leaders of ERC, Junts and the CUP show that secessionism is beginning to be reactivated." Thus, this reactivation of the independence movement that the constitutionalist entity observes "will result in new and painful challenges to coexistence", for which it urges to act accordingly.
"Not facing this situation is neither an option nor would it be understood by the citizen who has clearly expressed his rejection of the perverse nationalist ideology at the polls," the statement ends, signed by the board of directors of the Societat Civil Catalana dated This Tuesday, June 6.
