PSC presses ERC: ‘Either a progressive charter or elections’. The Equity and Reconciliation Commission puts pressure on the Peace and Security Council: “Either there will be results in financing or elections.” And together they put pressure on each other. To the Republicans, stop negotiating with them Salvador Ella; and the socialists should refrain from installing Carles Puigdemont. Before the party’s National Council, the Secretary-General of the Post-Convergence Party, Jordi Turol, called yesterday for maintaining the “position” without “complications.” He said that those who want to “defend the country” should get rid of Salvador Illa.
“The basic dilemma is whether we have an ambitious president, who has the nation in his head and in his heart, or a president who wants to turn the page on any national progress and prefers coffee for everyone because he only has PSOE in his head and in his heart,” he told Junts members a little earlier. His counterpart at the European Reform Council, Marta Rovira, has publicly set a one-month deadline to explore whether a prior agreement with the Socialists is possible.
As much as the PSC insists that Junts has no options to thrive in office, Turull asked to “keep the job” and pointed out that no one thought that the parliament office with an independent majority would end up there either. However, the system for electing the president is different, as it requires the ability to gather more votes in favor than against, something that, in the case of an agreement with the ERC, Puigdemont cannot achieve without the Socialist abstention.
