The expresident insists that
“the arrival of the others should be much worse” if there are elections due to
lack of support to the budget
The expresident of the Generalitat, Artur Mas, has reiterated this Thursday, as he already declared in La Vanguardia , that the continuity of Pedro Sánchez, President of the socialist Government, at Moncloa is more convenient for the pro-independence parties than forcing the call for a snap election by way of denying support to the general Budget of the state.
In declarations to Ser Catalunya, Mas commented that, when he posited to be
preferable a socialist government over an extreme right tripartite one, he said
so not because he was thinking about helping Sánchez and his government (since
he believes that Sánchez “will not solve this situation and less so in the
short run), but he was thinking “about us and our own interests”, explaining that
not only about the interests of the pro-independence parties but also of
Catalunya as a whole. Because “even worse will be the arrival of the others”
has assured.
Mas showed his agreement with the words of Joaquim Forn, the PDeCat
candidate to the mayoralty of Barcelona, who in an interview for Catalunya
Ràdio also commented that “I’m not sure about the pro-independence parties
having to bring down Pedro Sánchez”. In this respect, Mas has valued that Pedro Sánchez has
“a solution” on the table, “risky”, based on the choice of “budget or
elections”. In this sense, the expresident thinks that Sánchez is “taking his risks” in
spite of the fact that this is not his purpose, but he finds himself forced to
“play hard” and “his only possibility is just to lay the snap elections on the
table”.
The expresident has avoided to comment about the view of Marta Pascal, the
PDeCat excoordinator, who in an article published in La Vanguardia has showed
herself in favour of an estrangement from the postulates of expresident Puigdemont
while making “a PDeCat great”. Mas has limited himself to commenting that he is
in favour of a solution including “a referendum with two questions”, one coming
from the Congress and the other from the Parliament –this second one having to
do possibly with the wager for independence.
As to the birth of the Crida, Mas has insisted in keeping himself outside
until there would eventually be an agreement with the PDeCat, which still is
not the case. Thus, “if there is an agreement, I will take part; if not, I will
keep myself in reserve”, since “I am after the maximum of unity within the
pro-independence sphere”, has argued.
Concerning his disqualification sentence from the Supreme Court whereby he
has got a reduction of several months, the expresident has put his emphasis on
the fact that the text of the court highlights that there is no right to
participate in an illegal consultation. In the face of this conclusion, Mas
asks himself “why didn’t they prosecute all who went to the polls” on the 9-N
and the 1-O. In his view, “what they are judging is a disobedience towards the
Constitutional Court; but, then, the central governments have failed time and
again to comply with the sentences from this court and they haven’t been judged
for it”, has reproached. This leads him to conclude that “these people are very
much directed towards the need of punishments for all these popular enquiries”.
