Before the opening of the oral trial for the imprisoned pro-independence politicians, prosecuted for rebellion in the Supreme Court and in the National Court, the prosecution has maintained the accusation of rebellion and the state's attorney office accused of sedition. From the independentist movement it is argued that it is not about imprisoned politicians, but about political prisoners, since they have done absolutely nothing of what they are accused of. The prisoners have said by active and passive that they do not want to be used to negotiate, but in spite of that, their companions use them to keep the conflict alive. For now, the response to requests for penalties from the prosecution and the state's attorney office has been to announce the refusal to vote in favor of budgets in the Congress and from the government of the Generalitat the announce that they will not respect any condemnatory sentence and will mobilize the street to protest.
Nobody is happy. The right-wing parties tear their clothes because they consider that the government is favoring the prisoners and to the left of the PSOE, it is considered that the prisoners have not committed such serious crimes.
We have been convinced for some time that this is a political issue and not a judicial one and that no political alternative was offered since the previous government. But it is also true that the pro-independence sectors judicialized the problem by stepping aside the law to reinforce the policy of grievances and victimhood, justifying the rupture. In addition to dramatizing, publicly breaking the judgments or notifications of the courts, and constantly verbalize that the law was not going to be respected, from the Catalan Parliament disconnection laws were passed and the independence of Catalonia was declared unilaterally.
We can think that this trial not only does not help coexistence, but keeps the tension alive, but we also think that both the Catalan nationalist parties and the Spanish nationalists strive to keep the conflict alive. The main victims of the verbiage that is maintained from the most radical separatist sectors are, precisely, their prisoners. We advise you with humility that, if you really want to reduce their personal costs, that they are discreet in their demands.
If it is understood that in a democratic society, composed of free citizens, politics must aim to achieve the common good, solving those problems that put coexistence and social development at risk, the reality is that for years we have been anchored in the antithesis of politics. We are now witnessing the exaggeration, the insult and the disqualification, regardless of whether this distorts democracy and weakens it out of pure citizen fatigue. But democratic health will also have to be assessed in its corrective capacity for these deviations.
In our 40 years of democracy we have witnessed a progressive decentralization of the state. The Constitution of 78, open in many aspects, has allowed to evolve on demand of the territories themselves. A constitution that many thought could be considered federal, but in some aspects it goes lame. Federal states, by definition, are the most complex democratic states that exist, because they facilitate coexistence and the expression of plurality. It means that they must be able to generate mechanisms that allow the protection of minorities and the resolution of conflicts.
Our system has reached the end of its development: we have achieved the decentralized and complex system that we wanted, exposing the problems that we have not been able to solve and without mechanisms to do so. Now we have to generate cross-sectional codecision structures, territorial chamber, arbitration mechanisms and mediation.
That is why we need to reform the Constitution in a federal code. To do this, we must stop doing short-term politics. Perhaps, the moment in which we live, where nobody can be the winner if you do not learn to agree, is also a good time to do it. Instead of twitching, it is time to abandon the eternal adolescence and generate organizational structures that help resolve to conflicts.
