The secessionism is launched on the offensive with the trial of the 'procès'

Torra promises to be the "speaker" of the prisoners before the international community.

The ANC warns that it will carry out "more direct" actions and with "risks"


Change of step. The trial of 'procès' that will start on 12-F will bring about a change in the tactic of the independence movement. Making good that law of judo that encourages to use the impulse of the rival to make him fall, Catalan secessionism sees in the ten long weeks in which parade before the television audience both inmates and testimonies, the ideal scenario from which to cry against injustice of the judicial process and, incidentally, against the democratic status of the Spanish state.

Jordi Cuixart was the first to express the idea of ​​using the trial to "attack Spain", something that was understood in unionism on the literal and erroneous side. Your organization, Òmnium, has already started the 'Jo Acuso' (I Accuse) campaign, which follows the directives of its leader.

A motto to which, little by little, other actors have been added. Not in vain, the majority separatist, the post-convergent root and the Republican root come to this 12-F with the same struggle as always, the joint lists. After a new session of #PressingERC and a response from Oriol Junqueras himself, via hologram, on Tuesday, the trial is understood as the desired and necessary agglomeration in a secessionism whose unit shows its usual bad iron health.

The main surprise, perhaps, is that the most predictable scenario a few months ago would have been the mobilization of the independence movement, however, the nuance that follows the secessionism goes up a step. It is not reactive, it is active. Of attack.

Not only a good part of the defenses have been structured in this way, implying that what starts on the next day 12 is little more than the first part of a tie whose return match will be played at the Strasbourg court, but that the State itself, via Government, has given credibility to that attack.

Thus, the campaign already presented and those already announced, of the Government of the PSOE in which the condition of exemplary democratic state for Spain is reaffirmed has been understood in the secessionist circles as a whole triumph for that of the 'excusatio non petita, accusatio manifest '. And look at the crack, they're going to try to filter through it.

Thus, always in this line, the president Quim Torra said on Saturday in Molins de Rei that he intends to act as a "speaker" for the prisoners and exiles during the trial and, in this way, denounce "internationally "The" injustice that is experienced in Catalonia ". 


Torra advance that will be multiplying the visits beyond the Spanish borders to make arrive "this clamor for the justice" existing, according to him, in Catalonia. The 'president' confirmed that next February 12 will be "present" in the trial, a case that in his opinion is directed "against the right of self-determination of the people of Catalonia."

Also the highest ranking ERC institutional representative, Roger Torrent, percussed on the same point. The president of the Parliament pointed out, on account of the video of Global Spain, that "for many millions to be spent" Josep Borrell, as foreign minister, "and for many videos that he does, he will never be able to hide the blows of the truncheon nor the shame of having political prisoners in the Europe of the 21st century ". And, like Torra, Torrent was sworn in to demonstrate "the big lie that is all this judicial farce," he added that the pro-independence prisoners face a process that they know will not be fair.

However, one of the most significant changes of recent days is the new strategy of the ANC that the same Saturday unveiled its president, Elisenda Paluzié. 


After completing the locking in the Barcelona's delegation of the European Commission, to denounce the "serious violation of human rights" in Catalonia, the successor of Jordi Sànchez at the head of the entity has analyzed that with the trial of 'procés' has entered into a "different, very complicated stage", in which the entity will bet to move "from the classic mobilizations" to more direct actions: "we will bother as much as we can to the European Union", he assured. In a change of discourse with respect to the entity that mobilized millions of Catalans without anyone throwing a paper to the ground, Paluzié explained that the objective would be the EU because it is "an accomplice of the Spanish State, oppressive and authoritarian", since it has maintained a " shameful attitude "during the independence process.
