The general secretary of Junts, Jordi Turull, has revealed that he will meet this afternoon with the president of the Generalitat to address the proposal that Pere Aragonès made yesterday to present a unitary "democratic front" to the general elections of July 23 called on Monday by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, to face a government of PP and Vox. However, the number two of the post-convergents has reproached the president for implicitly requesting a vote for the PSC with his offer.
In an interview on the Cafè d'Idees program on TVE 2 and Ràdio 4, Turull has revealed that after making his proposal for the Aragonès democratic front, he contacted him and the president of JxCat, Laura Borràs, and they agreed to meet this afternoon : "When the president makes a proposal we always listen", pointed out Turull who, however, has made it clear that the "democratic front" that the Catalan president puts on the table is not what his formation defends, which is to attend the elections with a solely pro-independence list.
In fact, Aragonès will meet throughout today with all the parties with which he wants to promote the announced "democratic front". The president, taking advantage of the celebration of the plenary session, has called ERC, Junts, En Comú Podem and the CUP to his Parliament office, with whom he will be speaking throughout the day to explore what formulas could be used to make his proposal effective unit action. The president will close the round of contacts on Thursday with representatives of the PDECat.
In any case, Turull has shown his perplexity that Aragonès's offer is to stop PP and Vox and has warned that if the issue is this and not independence, "the most effective thing" (for the voter) is to vote for the PSC. "If this goes between the PP and PSOE, it is inviting the Catalans to vote for the PSC", he has warned him.
Thus, he has demanded to decide thinking about what is best for the Catalan independence movement and not for the PP and the PSOE. "A common front is not needed here because we have not only defended these values, we would need more than the campaign outside of this," warned Turull, who sees the president "in a Spanish mental framework", because he places the elections "in the PSOE-PP-Vox battle", while Junts sees the elections as "an opportunity" to "reactivate the independence movement".
