Xavier Trias, president of the Junts council of mayors, he said to Coffee of ideas from La 2 Cat that giving up 4.7 billion euros for Catalonia is "almost impossible." Another former regional minister, Jaume Giró, also believes this funding must be negotiated. But they are the only two in the party who have said so publicly. Their profiles are similar. I have acquaintances in all parties, woke And fascists, who say they would vote for "these two."

Trias and Giró are two old dogs, and therefore, the young dogs would do well to listen to them. If Trias and Giró say you can't give up the money, don't give it up, because the masses won't forgive you. Trias and Giró have the virtue of being a brand in their own right, above the party. I would say that Isla and Junqueras, who are in favor of taking the money, are somewhat the same. They are the old-school type of politician, in the good sense. A politician, to be credible, may be of a certain age and wear a tie, not make witty and heartbreaking tweets, and think that whoever passes each day, pushes forward. I see them, all four of them, as a cowboysThe vigilantes of finance. Fighting each other, bickering with their own, being accused of treason, and all the while telling their own: "Don't be so bold, don't be so bold, or we'll lose everything."

A politician, like a teacher, must exude a benevolent authority. You have to be able to laugh, yes, but at their righteousness. You have to take the money, as the old cats say, think it's not much, yes, and that perhaps it will never arrive. But listen to them, they know what they're talking about. The best line we'll hear today: "It's almost impossible to give up 4.7 billion euros." Tell me that, but take out several zeros and everything, and you'll see what I say.
