Still visibly resentful, Xavier Trias gave an account to the Junts militancy, his party. He did it with vengeance on the tip of his tongue, taking the opportunity to portray Jaume Collboni, the new mayor of Barcelona, as an opportunistic politician who deprived him of the commanding rod after declaring himself willing to share it with him.
Trias revealed that the socialist offered to share out the Mayor of Barcelona, so that each one would hold it for two years. «Collboni wanted us all to submit to. And I told him that in no way, that neither two years nor a year, “the Junts candidate exploded.
«With according to which people you cannot go. The ones they can throw us out because they can't stand the fact that there is a pro-independence mayor in Barcelona. They believe that one of their obligations, that their mission, is to kick us out of all places of power,” added Trias, already referring to constitutionalism as a whole.
“Their strategy is to eliminate us. So I repeat it: 'Fuck them, fuck them, fuck them,' snapped the nationalist again, as he did at the investiture plenary session. Then came the time to explicitly thank both Carles Puigdemont and the condemned Laura Borràs for their support and to ask Junts to face the general elections as a revenge against the State.
«We have to make them get off the donkey at once. It's people who want confrontation. We have to tell them enough, that we are not willing to be humiliated, mistreated and make us more dependent every day,” Trias cried out in a belligerent tone, concluding by calling for the formation of “an independentist front” like the one he wanted to form. in Barcelona with ERC to collide against an eventual PP government in the State.
Trias acted as the opening act for Míriam Nogueras, the Junts candidate for Congress, who anticipated that Puigdemont's formation is going to make the defeat of Trias their main electoral argument for 23-J.
«We have to go out and win to say no to Spain that did that in Barcelona on Saturday. Because, if you don't go, they add up. Because, if we do not go out to vote, Spain will win, “argued the head of the list.
“This is about the Kingdom of Spain or Catalonia,” Nogueras continued exclaiming, whom Puigdemont prioritized over Jaume Giró, who offered a profile that was too content for the fugitive's tastes.
“It is time to retake the initiative and do it together. Because, if we do not go together, they will hang us separately, “Nogueras concluded to unleash his warlike verb.
With the desire to turn the page so as not to fuel the pro-independence discourse, Collboni defended the legitimacy of the triangulation between the PSC, the PP and the commons that led him to the Mayor's Office.
The socialist recalled that Salvador Illa “won the elections and did not become president” and that the PSC “did not think of questioning the legitimacy” of Pere Aragonès, as head of the Catalan Executive. “Citizens fully understand that democracy is a pact,” he completed to settle the issue.
