The Junts+ candidate has criticized the Socialists for criticizing him while, in his opinion, “claiming the legitimacy they have from their minority governments in parliaments and municipal councils.”
The Junts+ candidate for the parliamentary elections, Carlos Puigdemontemphasized this Thursday that he has “more options” to govern in a scenario of simple majorities than the PSC candidate Salvador Illa.
“In a simple majority scenario we have more options, more options to form a government and a coherent majority. We don’t make inventions that wait for the PP or Vox to abstain. Our bloc has many more deputies than the constitutionalist bloc of progress, mainly PSC and Comuns. “, he emphasized in a speech Perpignan.
After asserting that he has already started taking “steps” in this regard, he assured that he had already warned during the election campaign that, in the absence of clear absolute majorities or a “very fair” tripartitethey would explore all the options they had on the table.
“The scenario of options for a minority government is there and we will fight for it,” Puigdemont emphasized, after claiming the legitimacy they have to do so against those who criticize him.
In particular, he has criticized the Socialists for criticizing him when they, in his opinion, ‘de legitimacywho have it, from their minority governments in parliaments and municipal councils”.
“If Mr. Salvador Illa were to form a minority government, it would be as legitimate as ours. His would not lack legitimacy, but neither will ours,” Puigdemont claimed. Therefore, he asked that all options be exhausted.
The former president of the Generalitat has also called on his people to be “extremely respectful” towards the Generalitat ERC’s internal situationa party that wants to see them as possible partners in the Catalan government.
For Puigdemont, there is also the possibility of a tripartite election, with or without external support from Republicans, or of a repeat election, which he believes is not a good scenario for anyone.
For his part, the leader of the PSC and candidate for the Generalitat, Salvador Illahas ruled out the possibility of supporting a hypothetical investiture of Puigdemont, considering that this would be a “mistake” and would go “against” the will of the citizens.
However, he has warned that “everyone knows what to do” and that they will therefore respect it, as long as it is done according to the rules. “Everyone has the right to increase their options,” he said during an interview on Cadena Ser on Thursday.
