It has begun the farcical trial
Spain's Supreme Court judges the “process” in the midst of a profound crisis of government and the regime. The trial could last three months, more than 500 witnesses. In the dock are: exvicepresidente the Government of Oriol Junqueras, the former councilor Joaquim Form (Interior), Jordi Turull (Presidency) Raul Romeva (Foreign), Dolors Bassa (Work), Josep Rull (Territory), Meritxell Borras (governorship), Charles Mundó (Justice) and Santi Vila (Company); the former President of the Bureau Carme Forcadell; presidente of the Omnium Cultural, Jordi Cuixart, and former leader of the Catalan National Assembly, Jordi Sánchez. Nevertheless, the judgment is not only against 12 people for whom the Prosecution asks seven to 25 years in prison; it is against the Catalan people who voted for the Republic Referendum 1-O in 2017.
The prosecution allegations point to show that there was rebellion, sedition and embezzlement with a central argument: the existence of violence. On the second day the prosecutor Javier Zaragoza argued: “The separatists drew up a powerful criminal plan and complexity” using “violent methods”. What, consideration as they configured more than two million people voting to decide their future and “human walls thrown at the security forces”, who were the people who received the police charges in schools where it was voted. The only violence deployed throughout the “process” he was in charge of the Spanish State. Overtaken interventions by preliminaries, Thursday may begin to declare the accused.
It is a totally unfair trial, political and vindictive towards the leaders and a message to the Catalan people mobilized: “We will not accept self-determination”. There is a cross-aligned in defense of parliamentary monarchical regime imposed by the reactionary Constitution of '78. The previous process was reinforced by Judge Pablo Llarena, under the political guidance of Mariano Rajoy and the approval of King Philip VI. Today is headed by Manuel Marchena, with the Attorney, the State Bar and the prosecution of far-right grouping Vox. It has the full support of the PSOE in government and the PP, Vox citizens and in opposition. Last Sunday rightwing forces called for a rally in Madrid in which spoke for the punishment of political prisoners, against clemency and for early elections.

The farcical trial violates basic democratic rights and political, having as serious history: the outlawing of the referendum and the impediment to the inauguration of president-elect Catalan 21-D. Although they deny, in Spain there are political prisoners and a reactionary regime that has nothing to do with the “modern democracy” They are claiming to represent. What exists is repression, censorship, cuts democratic freedoms, false accusations of terrorism and criminalization of protest, both at the level of leaders and students, Catalan neighbors and activists.
When elections approach the parties “face and differentiate”, but close ranks when it comes to defending the legacy of the Franco regime and adjustments to workers who commands the EU imperialist bloc. The “left and right” They shelve its nuances and unite to ensure the oppression of peoples and exploitation of the majority. In this sense it is a shame that say expressions left and have not consistently denounced the PSOE and Pedro Sanchez as pillars of the regime and attack the Catalan people.
There is nothing to indicate a favorable ruling to the Catalan separatists. You can not deposit a gram of confidence in a politicized and partial justice, or organizations that promoted the application of 155 and intend to reedit. Only we rely on the mobilization of the Catalan people that remained since they started imprisonments. With the start of the trial roadblocks multiplied, streets and roads, demonstrations, rallies and other actions throughout Catalunya, the yellow ribbons are a symbol that every democratic fighter should adopt, is in the country that is.
The political crisis of '78 regime is very deep and continuous regression, Government also voted and no one is practically in the air.
Anyone who says Republican, left or progressive, It should go to support the demand for freedom for political prisoners and exiles and respect for Catalan self-determination. Among the claims that will be made during the trial, It is called a general strike in Catalunya for the 21 February. We must transform it into a control measure, overwhelming, widespread and strong, disobedience as part of the Spanish State and the regime of '78 is necessary to implement.
At the by, It has announced a final debate of the General State Budget. Congress has stretched budgets Pedro Sánchez, which will not be processed and will return to Government. The heterogeneous block of organizations that allowed the censure motion Mariano Rajoy was not repeated, and the Legislature who was born dead just 84 own deputies of the ruling party, again received a shovelful of earth from which it has become hard to raise the possibility of an early election call. It transpired that Pedro Sánchez convene the Council of Ministers and would be possibly considering holding elections 28 of April, Meanwhile he 26 May municipal elections will be held, regional and European.
The political crisis of '78 regime is very deep and continuous regression, Government also voted and no one is practically in the air. This is not a cyclical crisis, it takes decades and unresolved issues stemming from the Franco dictatorship. The problems will not be solved only by choosing president from the parties supporting the current political order. Because, it is necessary to form a new political alternative left, comprehensive, anticapitalist, fight for democratic and social rights of workers exploited and oppressed peoples, Of the youngs, the students, women, pensioners, in sum, of the majority. a united mobilization is required by the call for a Constituent Assembly, Free and Sovereign, discuss and decide democratically on the issues in question unresolved by the reactionary Constitution of '78.
