The Government claims to have broken the "unity" of the Catalan independence movement

The Government assures that the policy that this legislature has developed on Catalonia has made it possible to break the "unity" of the independence movement and that the parties of this political spectrum have renounced "unilateralism".

This is indicated by the Executive in a written response sent to Congress, where Vox had asked what Pedro Sánchez's Cabinet was going to do if the nationalists tried to hold a "new separatist referendum."

In this response collected by Servimedia, the Government defends the policy of dialogue in Catalonia that it has maintained since 2018 and how "the current political situation is diametrically different from the one we experienced in 2017", when the illegal referendum on 1-O was held.

It is highlighted that "the so-called procés had as central elements the unity of the independence movement, unilateralism and confrontation." “However”, it is pointed out, “at present this unity does not seem to persist, unilateralism has disappeared from the agenda and confrontation has been replaced by dialogue”.

It is added that "the Government has faced the territorial conflict through dialogue and the search for the restoration of normality in relations between the Government and the Generalitat with the reactivation of the Bilateral Commission, the implementation of the Dialogue Table and the reduction of institutional conflict”.

"All these initiatives", according to La Moncloa, "have contributed to reestablishing coexistence in Catalonia and returning normality to relations between institutions, and there is currently a commitment to address political discrepancies within the framework of democratic order and seeking broad and cross-cutting solutions ”.

The Executive adds that the path of dialogue "is not only the most effective, but also the most democratic, and the one that our constitutional system demands of us." It is concluded that "it is evident that this loyal compliance with the constitutional framework will be maintained in each and every one of the decisions that this Government makes."
