Amid cries of “botifler” (‘traitor’ in Spanish), the president of ERC Oriol Junqueras has deserted the pro-independence demonstration in Barcelona. Several attendees have booed and rebuked him between shouts of “Junqueras, traitor, we would like you in jail.”
Junqueras had attended the demonstration known as amongst different organizations by Omnium and ANC underneath the slogan “This shouldn’t be over” on the doorways of the Museo d’Art in Barcelona. The ERC chief, who has attended with different individuals from his social gathering, has barely been in a position to spend a couple of minutes within the protest, since a number of of the attendees have booed him shouting “Junqueras, traitor.”
The one who was quantity two of the Generalitat with Puigdemont has deserted the protest. Minutes earlier than and earlier than the media, he assured that “the independence motion remains to be very a lot alive. The battle has not ended as a result of there continues to be repression towards the Catalans within the type of financial persecution and lawsuits.”
For Junqueras, the “battle won’t finish till Catalan society can train its proper to self-determination by voting.”
Something that this morning within the pages of the French newspaper ‘Le Monde’ requested the president of the Generalitat Pere Aragonès and Junqueras himself repeated earlier than having to depart the demonstration because of booing. “That is the trail we’re following. We proceed working and negotiating on this path in all areas. We do it from authorities to authorities with the Spanish Government”, the president of ERC asserted.
After Junqueras’ march within the protest, it was Junts Junts per Catalunya (JxCat), who capitalized on the demonstration, in reality a part of the protesters who rebuked ERC shouted slogans in favor of Puigdemon: “Puigdemont, our president.” The l Consell de la República, chaired by Puigdemont himself, is likely one of the organizations calling for the pro-independence demonstration.
