The Government has come out in a rush to reject outright the newest proposal by the President of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès, to undertake a listening course of in Catalonia that culminates in a referendum agreed to “resolve the political battle” after the municipal and regional elections of May 28. It will not be a brand new proposal, however in the midst of the electoral marketing campaign the PSOE needs to nip that debate within the bud in order that it doesn’t hurt it on the polls.
Precisely on this electoral battle situation, the Executive situates the initiative of Aragonés, which it describes as “little or no helpful and really unrealistic.” Two of essentially the most political ministers within the cupboard, that of the Treasury, María Jesús Montero, and that of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, have closed the door on a pro-sovereignty session.
“With Pedro Sánchez as president of the Government, there shall be no referendum on self-determination,” Montero emphasised after the announcement by the top of the Government to name a spherical of debates with events, entities and residents to agree on an independence referendum. “We have translated it into all doable languages and the Government of Catalonia is aware of it”, added the minister.

For the minister there is no such thing as a doubt that the announcement launched this Tuesday by Aragonès implies a return “to the worst previous of latest Catalonia, to the previous of the battle, of the division, of the division, of stressing society.”
The PP has already taken benefit of the controversy to summon Sánchez to make clear his place relating to the Catalan president’s plan. The basic secretary, Cuca Gamarra, has reminded her that now ERC is her accomplice in Congress. The common ones will not be shocked by the proposal as a result of it’s half, they are saying, of the “highway map” of the independentistas who already threatened that they’d do it once more.
