Aragons accuses Puigdemont of “not telling the truth” and “selling smoke” in the midst of the independence struggle

Pere Aragons (ERC) seeks a frontal attack against Junts and the PSC one month before the Catalan elections. The president of the Generalitat has come out in a storm and has accused Carles Puigdemont of “not telling the truth”, “selling smoke” and “building houses of cards” in the midst of the independence struggle, a war that is now intensifying in the pre-campaign.

In an event organized by the Esquerra leadership in the center of Barcelona, Aragons has staged the change in his party’s strategy with a speech focused on selling his administration to the “lies” from Junts and the PSC. “We have been the ones who have endured this country when everyone gave up,” he began by saying in a clear allusion to the neoconvergents.

“We are the ones who have always shown our faces, we have never hidden, we have never abandoned any position,” he continued to then shoot at “those who ask for trust and then surrender to La Moncloa” and “before those who continue selling smoke and building houses of cards.” “We can no longer remain silent, we must tell the truth to point out the lies and falsehoods that others explain,” warned the ERC candidate in reference to Salvador Illa and Carles Puigdemont.

Beyond the carousel of criticism PSCthe novelty of Aragons is the direct attack against the leader of Junts after the announcement of the former president who fled to appear in the elections under the pretext that he would return to the investiture debate of the Parliament. A smear that has collapsed ERC and has forced the party to change its strategy, agitate the independence agenda and clearly charge against Puigdemont.

“Junts does not tell the truth”, The Republican has assured after ironizing the name change of the candidacy – it is called Junts+Puigdemont x Catalunya – and criticizing that the party “abandoned” the Generalitat “in the midst of negotiations with the Government for the reform of the Penal Code and the elimination of “sedition.” He has also reproached the neo-convergents who a year and a half ago opted for “confrontation rather than negotiation” and now “have begun to negotiate.” “Welcome!” He launched with irony after remembering that what Puigdemont has achieved is “a table” with the PSOE.

“Salvador Illa’s project is Spain, Carles Puigdemont’s is Carles Puigdemont and ERC’s is Catalonia,” It has been settled before the main leaders of the party, with Oriol Junqueras present and sitting in the front row.
