Aznar told his followers: "If you negotiate budgets in a prison, you associate with prisoners, and you negotiate an amnesty with criminals, don't be surprised if you end up in prison, because that's your environment." Then, one of Sánchez's soldiers drew his sword. It was President Isla: "It's shameful to threaten jail to anyone who thinks differently than you." Immediately afterward, a distant voice retorted: "Are you saying this because of the Catalans sent to prison because they think differently than them? Because of the infiltrators? Because of those persecuted with Pegasus when he was minister?"
Isla made the retort very easy for Puigdemont. The president acts as Sánchez's soldier with great zeal, the same zeal that those still exiled have in remembering him by the hand of the one who demonstrated in October 2017.
So simple, and so fair, that it would have been to reply to Aznar with the words "whoever is without guilt, let him cast the first stone." A prison atmosphere, you say? Eduardo Zaplana, minister and spokesperson for the Aznar government in his last term, spent time in jail. Luis Bárcenas, treasurer of the PP, also attended, the one who made some accounting entries by hand in which M. Rajoy appeared. Rodrigo Rato, who was vice president of the Aznar government, also spent time behind bars for the cards black of Caja Madrid. Jaume Matas, who was also a minister under Aznar, was sent to prison. Like Ignacio González, he was president of Madrid. An amnesty for the Catalan separatists. And Sánchez knows that the threat of prison isn't just a heated conversation from a resentful ex-president, but the dream of more than one deep state watchdog.
