Puigdemont his strategy for Catalan is played with the decision of Brussels | News from Catalonia

The uncertainty surrounding the process to officially give Catalan in Europe generates an expansive wave that reaches Barcelona and Madrid, with repique in the governance of Spain. Junts per Catalunya repeats that the matter is capital and that it has the capacity to be concrete or sand in the unstable foundations that support the government. Carles Puigdemont has insisted on raising the tongue folder as a fundamental requirement to maintain more or less fluid relationships with the PSOE and has released repeated messages to warn that the issue accumulates months looking like a suspense in the Pedro Sánchez notes. Beyond measuring the temperature between the two parties, the outcome of the plot with the Catalan tests the internal order in Juns, after the controversial decision of Puigdemont of seize the match from a consensus pact in Catalonia for the promotion of the language that promoted the Expresident Pere Aragonès (ERC).

The Juns dome met Monday at the headquarters of the match in Barcelona and connected telematically with Puigdemont, which is still in Waterloo (Belgium) Waiting to benefit from the amnesty law. On the table it was put on how to face the panorama that opens after the call of this Tuesday of the General Affairs Council in Brussels, a key event to know if Catalan manages to reach the seal of the officiality in the EU. The independence party has opted for the discretion, without fuss that could hinder the last minute efforts planned by the Foreign Ministry to achieve the green light.

Beyond being able to present in public as the conseccing man who has managed to mobilize the PSOE to rise from a step to the Catalan in the EU, Junts faces the procedure on Tuesday as a kind of internal crossroads. Two weeks ago, the formation voluntarily turned away from the National Pact for Language, an initiative for the defense and promotion of Catalan that has managed to group the PSC, ERC and common together with entities such as Òmnium and Platform per La Flengua. The project, gestated during the mandate of the Expresident Pere Aragonès, has a budget of 255 million euros but Junts decided to stay out and Puigdemont claimed that it made no sense to approve a plan for Catalan without waiting to know if it reaches the officiality in Europe.

After receiving harsh criticisms in Catalonia because The candidate proposed by Junts at the CNMC voted in favor of the OPA From BBVA on Banco Sabadell, the party has returned to Diana for its strategy with Catalan. The formation has tried to go out stating that the pact for the language can be renegotiated, once the resolution on Catalan is known in the EU and the Constitutional Court judgment over 25% of classes in Spanish in schools. « We could not continue waiting for together to carry out the pact for the language »has replicated the Director of Linguistic Policy, Francesc Xavier Vila.

Deliberately separated the party from a decision about Catalan that has a broad social consensus generated stupefaction in many sectors of the party. Criticisms of the address are customary to do in a low voice within Junts, but the decision made today in Brussels has the capacity to speak.

For now, in the direction of Junts does not surprise the emphasis that the government has tried to exhibit to defend that it has been looking for alliances that drive the official of Catalan. Puigdemont’s party maintains, however, that Albares’s staging is subject to the process culminating successfully. The effort is presupposed, and only the reward is worthy of recognition, they say in Junts.

In the appearance that Carles Puigdemont made last December, complaining about the lack of concretion of the agreements with the PSOE and where he threatened to promote a matter of confidence against Pedro Sánchez, the former Catalan president broke off the list of pending issues that, in his opinion, accumulates the government to comply with the commitments agreed with Junts. The first reproach was the Catalan language, and pointed to a culprit: « Catalan is not the official language of Europe due to the lack of involvement of Pedro Sánchez, » Puigdemont affected. « When it is convenient, he has already shown that he is able to agree with Orban and Meloni to give a European position to a militant of his party, » he said, In allusion to the appointment of Teresa Ribera as vice president of the European Commission. “It is evident that he has not dedicated the efforts we have asked to achieve the same for him Status of Catalan as the official language of the European Union, ”he added.
