Sánchez-Aragonese: Dialogue not dialogue
They do not discuss self-determination or amnesty. They seek agreements for limited autonomy.
The presidents of Spain, Pedro Sánchez and of Catalonia, Pere Aragonés met at the Dialogue Table. The greatest of the Mossos, Josep Lluís Trapero welcomed the visiting delegation that entered the Government like nothing ever happened. Later the negotiating teams met. He Palau had a perimeter shield of the BRIMO, to avoid demonstrations in Plaça Sant Jaume.
All happy
The photographs and balances of the protagonists portrayed the "distension". According to Sánchez: "Images are important from a political point of view". La Moncloa celebrated: "Mission accomplished, everything went very well ". For Aragonese: “That a meeting be held between two delegations of two governments to try to resolve a crisis that was in the year 2017 a tear for Catalan society and for the whole of Spanish society, has an enormous power of political message, that we want to overcome that situation, we look forward and really want to solve this crisis ".
The kickoff, without rush
The Catalan delegation called for amnesty and referendum. The answer was the same as always: no and no. The Spanish delegation concurred with 44 points of the "Agenda for the reunion". With measures for infrastructures, social and economic Government He said that he does not even consider them, but he looks at them sideways. The parties noted that the "Positions are very far apart" and what is "complex" arrive to a good port. The Table was a staging, the kick-off of the negotiations that will continue. Will unfold "no hurries, Non stop, but without deadlines ". With regular meetings, but "Discreet". Although they insisted on the difficulties they perceive, everyone celebrated. Why did they do it?
One hand washes the other
Sánchez strengthened ties with ERC. Needs your support to: end the legislature, that there are no serious conflicts and direct an economic agenda destined to save the capitalists from the crisis that they themselves generated. Aragonese got more time. It needs it to establish itself in power and achieve consensus in the implementation of "The pragmatic way". Because they have not yet managed to impose their analysis-justification on the whole line, what prays: "There is not enough popular support for independence, nor the break, nor the support of the European Union ", "We have to leave it for later".
nuanced, but partners
Left handed distances itself from 1-O and the break. Because, for Aragonese the Referendum of October 1 2017 was a "Tear to overcome". 9/11, the Day it was expressed again in the opposite direction. The street continues to respond to the PSOE policy of "Turn page" saying "Neither forgetfulness nor forgiveness". Meanwhile, JxCat did not participate in the Table. The “wayward” today are those who yesterday inaugurated the “dialogue” when Quim Torra met Pedro Sánchez in Pedralbes. Although they partially distance themselves and have nuances, both JxCat and ERC seek the recovery of the "Institutional normality".
Feeding the executioner
Support for Sánchez's inauguration, the legislative agreements and the Dialogue Table show the direction taken by ERC. That he even slipped the nonsense that he can persuade the president of Spain. In a session of the national Congress, Sánchez responded to proposals for self-determination and a referendum with a “never again" and Gabriel Rufián answered "Give us time" to convince him. It was not a gag, common in the ERC spokesperson. It was part of the policy of sowing expectations in Sánchez. In the meantime, the government of "Progressive coalition" PSOE-UP and the '78 regime continue to favor companies that increase light, protecting the most privileged and failing to fulfill social promises. Chasing exiles, prosecuting activists and prosecuting popular fighters under the accusation of "Terrorists". As when the PP of Mariano Rajoy governed, but more dialogist.
Overcome contradictions and build something new
The Dialogue Table is a regime trap. A dialogue not a dialogue of what really matters: self-determination and amnesty. The CUP opposes the Table from the point of view "Neither pacts nor resignations, the struggle is the only way". Regrettably, he does it with contradictions, since it does not break the agreement that he signed with ERC for the investiture of Aragonés. For which, had the endorsement of left-wing groups, how Internationalist struggle, among others.
It is necessary to build a new political alternative, left, anticapitalist, of class independence, to promote and support the struggles against governments, its adjustments and the regime of ' 78. That it brings together those who seek a new path to defeat the right and the extreme right throughout the Spanish State. The confluence of the Social Revolutionaries could give impetus to these objectives.
