The Junts+ presidential candidate has defended a Catalan executive that “serves the Catalan nation” to ensure “Catalan citizens live in a free country.” The formation presented the lists in Elna with which it will participate in the elections on May 12.
The head of the Junts+Puigdemont per Catalunya list for the Catalan elections, Carlos Puigdemontemerged this Saturday as the only candidate capable of standing for the state to defend the interests of the Catalans.
This is more than assured 2000 people who attended the event held in the old schools of Elna (Northern Catalonia)where he presented his publicly candidacy for the May 12 elections accompanied by the rest of the members of the lists.
Puigdemont has criticized the ERC for “wasting” the pro-independence majority that existed in parliament during the last term, and has claimed that his party is “responsible” for the “completion” of the independence process.
He has defended his party’s departure from government months ago because the executive “failed to keep agreements and rejected all proposals.” “Junts’ goal is not power for power’s sake“The position for the sake of position, the power, interests us to transform, to take advantage of opportunities and promote the country, especially when there are so many things to do,” Puigdemont noted.
“Time has proven us right because the government has given direction that should not have been taken. There is a government without direction, without leadership, unable to make the decisions that Catalonia needs,” he noted.
Puigdemont, addressing to the central governmenthas indicated that his training ‘He knew how to say ‘no’ when necessary’and has warned that, despite the latest agreements in Congress, “Junts is not going to Madrid to make friends.”
“If to serve Catalonia you have to help the Spanish government, you must do so, but we know how to say enough is enough, something that no other candidate is willing to offer, and I believe that the people of Catalonia, whether they are pro-independence or not, they will prefer a president who is able to act against a Spanish government that is harming Catalans,” Puigdemont emphasizes.
In doing so, Puigdemont has declared that, if the Junts enter government, its members “will not warm the seat or be administrators of an agency,” and has defended a Catalan executive that “serves the Catalan nation” to guarantee that “Catalan citizens live in a free country”“where it is worth living, working and seeing our sons and daughters grow up.”
“We want to defend the citizens so that no one deprives them of the education, health care and infrastructure that they are entitled to thanks to their efforts. We come and fight against whoever it takes to help the country have a better future,” he said. Puigdemont claimed.
The presentation of the lists took place a day after the former Catalan president announced that he would move to the northern Catalan region of Vallespir and leave his residence in Waterloo (Belgium), where he settled abroad after the procedure would establish.
