Mayors of the eastern zone of Huesca rebel against Torra's "radical and squatter" independence movement

The mayors of the regional capitals of La Litera, Cinca Medio and Bajo Cinca have staged this Tuesday, on the banks of the Cinca River, the “fatigue” of the eastern zone of Huesca with the “maneuvers” of the “radical and squatter” independence movement of Junts by “trying to appropriate” half of the province of Huesca. The meeting was led by the mayor of Monzón and president of the Huesca Provincial Council, Isaac Claver; the mayor of Binéfar, Patricia Rivera; the mayor of Tamarite, Sandra González; and the mayor of Fraga, Ignacio Gramún.

The president of the Provincial Council of Huesca and mayor of Monzón, Isaac Claver, has thus come out against the statements of the former president of the Catalan autonomous community and successor of the escaped Carles Puigdemont, Quim Torra, who with “interested historical interpretations”, has recently stated that the border with Catalonia should be marked by the Cinca River. Claver has lamented that “this is not the first time that the independence movement has wanted to appropriate territories in the province of Huesca, disrespecting and disregarding our Alto Aragonese and Spanish identity and sentiment.”.

Possible requirement

In this framework, Claver has asked the Huesca socialists, who recently supported the amnesty in their National Committee, to “publicly condemn” the words of the former Catalan president. For this reason, in the next plenary session of the Huesca Provincial Council, the Popular Party group will present a motion “to give an opportunity to the 12 PSOE deputies to condemn the words of Puigdemont's successor.”.

The president of the DPH has taken the opportunity to show his concern about the national political situation and has warned that “in the coming years, if the new Sánchez government takes shape, we will repeatedly witness this type of statements that are not exempt from political intentionality”.

Claver has warned that “although the words of Puigdemont's successor, Quim Torra, may seem like an occurrence or delirium as the press has highlighted, they could become a new demand for the formation of the new Government of Spain.. “The radical independentists ask and Sánchez has already shown that he is capable of anything.”. Isaac Claver concluded by emphasizing that “those who encourage the independence movement are co-responsible for the delusions of these activists.”.
