The Government and Junts are conjured to continue hand and achieve the European official of Catalan | News from Catalonia
The soap opera of the official of Catalan in Europa foreshadowed an outcome to face or cross, of rappes or hugs, but has left an open end. The script reserves a second part, scheduled for June 24, feast of Sant Joan. The Catalan, also to the Basque and the Galician, they have a margin to win a new status of recognition in the European Union and that window of opportunity avoids, for the moment, a weigh to the relationship between Junts per Catalunya and the Government. He Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares He insisted that the officiality of the three languages in European institutions is already « irreversible. » Carles Puigdemont’s game regrets the delay but avoids blaming the PSOE and discharging the disgust against the PP maneuvers.
The decision of this Tuesday in Brussels as a pause in a road that is long and tortuous is interpreted in the Junts dome. Nothing has been won, but there is a game to play and it makes no sense to prick the ball. The independence formation has demonstrated on previous occasions to have an easy trigger when it comes to shooting criticism against the Government for the lack of concretion of the negotiations carried out by both parties.
The seven votes of Team that Miriam Nogueras commands in Congress Of the deputies they have had a key weight to periodically remember the list of requests to Pedro Sánchez and get to put it in trouble in the voting. But, in this matter, the situation is different. The environment of Carles Puigdemont values the determination shown by the Executive in the negotiations to achieve the European official of Catalan. Emphasis is placed on the figure of the person in charge of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, who is recognized a commitment to transfer from theory to practice one of the points of the treatment that facilitated the support of Junts to the investiture of Sánchez.
« 40 years ago we have entered Europe and it is already time » that the plurilingual identity of Spain is recognized, Albares said Tuesday, who explained that it has « made it clear » to all its European colleagues: « We want to work since the unanimity can be achieved as soon as possible. » In an act chaired by the King in the diplomatic school, Albares indicated to THE NEW EMBAJADA SECRETARIES that one of its functions will be to work for the linguistic diversity of Spain and « to get the official (of Catalan, Basque and Galician) also in Europe. »
Puigdemont himself captained Juns’ response to the postponement of the vote in Brussels. He directly accused the Popular Party and Alberto Núñez Feijóo of having maneuvered to boycott the recognition of the official of Catalan in Europe, even at the expense of violating the law. The former Catalan president denounces that Feijóo’s attitude attacks an organic law such as the Statut, in reference to the precept that forces the governments of Spain and of Catalonia to « take the necessary actions for the recognition of the official of Catalan in the EU. » Through a letter published on his social networks, Puigdemont also criticized that it is to justify the obstacles to the official of Catalan from the point of view of the economic cost: « They can already discount the amount they want from the fiscal deficit. »
Waiting for what may happen at the end of June, the interest put by the Government in achieving the official of Catalan in the EU is part of the catalog of gestures that have remained halfway. It was already the agreement for the TRANSFER OF MIGRATORY COMPETENCESpending a legislative validation that lacks support because we can already advance that you do not see with good eyes. Junts also presents the situation of its leader, in Belgium and unable to return to Catalonia due to the risk to be arrested, to criticize that Amnesty’s law has been lame.
Esquerra Republicana took the opportunity to rummage in the wound, as who does not want to do it. « We will not get together for this, surely together we would call us failed and traitors; when the PSOE breaches, the faults are from the PSOE, not anyone else, » said Gabriel Rufián, spokesman for Republicans in Congress.
